How Many Things Are Wrong Here?

The damn Associated Press got the piece below online on Sunday, the 4th of December. There’s $100 in Monopoly Moolah* in it for anyone who can come up (within a week) with as many separate indiscretions/problems attached to/inherent in the article as I did in ten minutes. My disclosure is available upon request, of course.

Help? Hints? Well, I came up with eleven while making a smoothie. And…one of my ditties centers on a Mossad agent being The Highlighted Star. I’d really enjoy receiving some word on this for the holidays ’cause Fun & Games is all The (Bowel) Movement retains these days, its smart(ing) farts notwithstanding.

NEW YORK - Steven Spielberg is taking on terror. His latest film, “Munich,” centers on the aftermath of the killings of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany.

“I don’t think any movie or any book or any work of art can solve the stalemate in the Middle East today,” Spielberg tells Time magazine in its Dec. 12 issue. “But it’s certainly worth a try.”

Eric Bana (”Troy”) stars as a Mossad agent who leads a secret Israeli squad assigned to assassinate 11 Palestinians suspected of planning the killings.

“We don’t demonize our targets,” Spielberg says. “They’re individuals. They have families. Although what happened in Munich, I condemn.”

Spielberg and screenwriter Tony Kushner would not reveal the identity of the man Bana portrays, whom they interviewed at length.

“There is something about killing people at close range that is excruciating,” Spielberg tells the magazine. “It’s bound to try a man’s soul.”

Richard Oxman, dueleft@yahoo.com, believes that The Spielberg Game here is an excellent litmus test for determining Leftist credentials. Send him the # you came up with, and he’ll forward your standing in return…if he’s not busy writing for www.oxtogrind.org.
