Yes, we're all appalled at Donald Trump's foreign policy-by-Twitter. But as the only poor dumb bastard in the world who will spend his own money for paper to print  and postage to distribute Secretary of State John Kerry's 9,500-word (and more than 70-minute) speech on Israel and Palestine, I'm calling for a happy medium.
