There is so much going on in the news today. A few stories are mentioned below, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. Feel free to add some of your own. First there is the massive upset in New York City when a Republican, Bob Turner, took Anthony Weiner’s seat, the first time [...]

More and more information is coming out about the treatment women reporters in Egypt have been enduring for some time now. The horrendous attack on Lara Logan seems to have opened the floodgates for other women journalists to acknowledge with what they have been dealing for years now. That many of them felt they had [...]

Editor: Bumped up because this t-shirt says it all — well, almost all — because Reverend Amy’s accompanying commentary is a must-read. Stay tuned for more to come on how rapidly Obama’s supporters are turning on him. If only they’d listened to us … I’ll say. And what a fantastic depiction on this t-shirt. Here’s [...]

(Editor’s Note: See Part I: “Jane Harman and Rod Blagojevich.”) "The official with access to the transcripts said someone seeking help for the employees of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, (AIPAC) a prominent pro-Israel lobbying group, was recorded asking Ms. Harman, a longtime supporter of its efforts, to intervene with the Justice Department. She responded, [...]

(Editor’s Note: Stay tuned for Part II later this evening.) CQ Politics: "Rep. Jane Harman, the California Democrat with a longtime involvement in intelligence issues, was overheard on an NSA wiretap telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department to reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public [...]

Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is making her first trip to the Middle East in her new capacity. No doubt, this trip will garner a lot of interest since she is meeting with both Israel and Palestine. And I imagine there will be no small amount of walking on eggshells for the Secretary of State. [...]

Anyone (like Barack Obama) entertaining ideas of western democracies establishing friendly relations with the radicals of the Islamic world should watch this video. While watching the inflammatory rhetoric of the speaker, remember that this is not a jahidist from Iran but a professor from Kuwait – a country with every reason to be grateful to [...]

No matter where you fall on the Israel/Gaza issue, and I know people have strong feelings on both sides, two events this past weekend are disturbing. They are disturbing because we have been down this road before. And this is a road down which we never want to go again, not Israel, not Palestine, not [...]

Speaking for myself only… “Hamas’ charter calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and its replacement with a Palestinian Islamic state in the area that is now Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.” Israel is right to attack Hamas in Gaza. The Palestinians are wrong to have elected Hamas as their [...]

Susan’s Preface: Reverend Amy remembered this story by me from the primaries. She FORCED ME to post it since we’re trying to remind our readers, new and old, of some of the reasons why we might be worthy of an award for political commentary. So, embarrassed as I am to be flaunting my stuff, here [...]

[ADMIN NOTE: While American Girl's analogy is prone to misinterpretation, she goes to great lengths to ensure that every reader knows she understands that there is no comparison between the actual suffering of the Jewish people compared to that of Pumas.

[Cross-posted from Heidi Li's Potpourri] Richard Cohen’s sister is canceling her inauguration party because of President-elect Obama’s choice of Rick Warren to bless Mr. Obama’s taking the office of the Presidency of the United State. According to her brother’s column in the Washington Post, what made her do this is the way in which Mr. [...]

(Originally printed December 5, 2008) UPDATE: The Chicago Tribune (understandably busy with the Blagojevich blow-up) has the “first ever” newspaper interview with the official PEBO. As we said several days ago, PEBO has stated he wants to make a major speech from a muslim capital. Fine. Barack Obama says his presidency is an opportunity for [...]

Yes, the Bush Administration will be recognized in the history books as a complete disaster. The mess they have left us with is incomprehensible. At the same time, you have to admit every now and then they were good for laughs. The latest, it seems they sent out invitations to a White House Hanukkah party [...]
