A new form of terrorist activity has recently begun to plague the Jewish communities of the West Bank. These attacks take the form of piles of several stones placed on the road during the night, with the objective of causing car accidents.

Threat number 2: peevish state comptroller.

PM, his wife Sara plan NIS 80,000 holiday event for coalition members, but comptroller’s office says, ‘You cannot spend so much money when people don’t have anything to eat’

This article informs us that not only people do not have anything to eat, but you cannot even offer them anything decent to eat. The details are murky because the numbers cited by Ynet do not add up: the plan to dine 50 people with their partners with 400 shekel dinners was supposed to cost 80,000 shekels, which suggests than an average Knesset member who can dine in the presence of scantily clad women has 3 partners (I am just making a guess why only 50 coalition members were to be invited out of more than 60). By reducing the number of guests to 100 and replacing Tornado Rossini – a combination of beef fillet, grilled foie gras & foie gras pâté in red wine & brandy sauce (249 shekels) with Beef tongue in beef bullion and champignon mushroom sauce (95 shekels) the cost of the party would be reduced to 25,000 shekels, and the bastards in Comptroller office still said no. (The article discloses that the dinner was to be catered from Canela restaurant of Jerusalem, so I am looking up their on-line menu). From what I know about American rules, bureacrats set a limit on food expenses for each city, and I think for Jerusalem it is something like 50 bucks or 200 shekels for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So by eliminating the first course of Calf’s brain in white wine, garlic, hot chili & cilantro sauce (89) there would be enough for a dinner of appetizer and the main course, but Comptroller still said no, and the guests had to do with appetizers only.

This is pretty serious. Terrorist threats seem manageable, where I live you have worse obstacles on roads every winter. Imagine terrorists sweeping salt away from the road to create an ice patch.

But comptrollers are worse. Imagine you want to bomb Iran, you plan it, you budget it, and then you want the expenses approved. And then you are told that you have to keep it under 20,000 shekels because people have nothing to eat.
