CNN Bias
I don’t have to demonstrate it, because YNET news does. In the same vein, Gail, at Crossing the Rubicon, shows the WaPo’s fun little games with facts that will undermine Israel.

Continue readingI live in an area where most of the parents I know are college grads. It is amazing to me how many of them (not the majority, but a significant number) have decided not to vaccinate their children because of the “risk.” The risk, of course, is the possibility that
Continue readingThis is an interesting NPR story about efforts to identify and deal with violently aggressive boys before they go postal. A little tidbit buried in the story, and quickly passed over, is a denominator common to “most” (not just “many”) of these violent boys — they have no father in
Continue readingI’m a word person. I’m very, very, very verbal and I prefer to get my information through reading. Maybe that’s why I’m so sensitive to, and really obsess about, the nuances news coverage about events in the Middle East. For example, there’s a BBC story boldly headlined “Palestinians killed in
Continue readingFrom Jay Leno, via Townhall: “British authorities said they were able to detect the terrorist plot using a surveillance program that the “New York Times” hadn’t got around to exposing yet.”
Continue readingI’ve been depressed lately by the sheer volume of scary and bad news: the Israeli/Hezbollah war and its pathetic outcome, with Israel actually believing that signing on to the defeatist UN ceasefire will improve her standing in world opinion; the planned London airplane bombings, which included mothers intentionally using their
Continue readingBefore the Nazis killed the Jews, they executed those they deemed unfit because of physical or mental handicaps. My goyish uncle, who was institutionalized because he was “crazy” (we now think he might have been homosexual), was one of the first the Nazis executed in their drive to purify the
Continue readingI heard bits and pieces of Mike Wallace’s creepy interview with Sean Hannity regarding the Ahmadinijad interview 60 Minutes scored. I knew how Wallace praised Ahmadinijad’s shoes and admired how well-spoken he was. I knew that these superficial attributes so impressed the superficial Wallace that he was unable to see
Continue readingDid you know that I (probably) have royal blood in me. I can’t flaunt it too much, though, because you probably do too. Yup, according to the Washington Post, we’re all royal: Even without a documented connection to a notable forebear, experts say, the odds are virtually 100 percent that
Continue readingOne of my favorite bloggers, Patrick, who cultivates the erudite, amusing and humane Paragraph Farmer, has a beautiful article at American Spectator about Cuba’s past, and Castro’s best efforts to erase that memory from Cuban minds. It’s a lovely read, with Miami Vice, beautiful women, and crocodile tears all mixing
Continue readingAt Cheat-Seeking Missiles we get the good news that a really, really bad guy in Uganda has departed this earth. One down, thousands (or millions) to go.
Continue readingI’m still too busy (and, by now, too exhausted) to blog, but others are doing wonderful things. The latest good thing to catch my eye is Robert Avrech’s post, at Seraphic Secret, explaining that, yes, it is all about Islam aided, as usual, the the media’s useful idiots. And while
Continue readingNever let your husband manage the kids’ party. Ten minutes before the party starts, you will find yourself without cake, food, party favors, or guest of honor — but with repeated assurances via cell phone that all will arrive in time. The tension is killing me. UPDATE: Whew! They arrived
Continue readingEverybody (at least everybody in the anti-Israel, anti-War, pro-Hezbollah, pro-Palestinian side) is in full throttle shrei (Yiddish for “cry”) about Israel’s human rights abuses, at home and abroad. The kidnapping of the three Israeli soldiers is fully justified to some because Israel has in her prisons thousands of Palestinians who
Continue readingAgain, fairly overwhelming work and family commitments will keep my blogging nonexistent, but there’s interesting stuff in the Middle East as I discovered when I took a break to read up-to-the-minute news and analysis at the Captain’s Quarters. The Lebanese government is falling, Hezbollah is fighting harder, and Israel may
