Over three months ago, I wrote a post about the price of gasoline, “Up, Up, And Away.” At the time, I was lamenting how gas prices were around $3 a gallon, and outlined some of the difficulties these kinds of prices place on regular old people like us. I did not think that the prices [...]

* Bumped Up * Again? So it would seem. This time, it is in Palestine by Hamas Security officers. But I bet you haven’t heard a word about it, have you? Had it not been for Phyllis Chesler, I wouldn’t have known, either. In Chesler’s excellent post, “Arab Spring: Male-on-Female Atrocities In Gaza Disappeared By [...]

* Bumped Up * Did you guess the Muslim Brotherhood? If so, you would have been right. Yes, CNN had this report, Energized Muslim Brotherhood in Libya Eyes A Prize. Oh, great. Well that’s just jake. And this is no joke. It is far, far from funny. It has been a plan long in the [...]

After forcing out Mubarak as leader of Egypt, Egyptians held a vote on Sunday on a number of different amendments and changes.

I wrote this two years ago after International Women’s Day (which was Tuesday, the 100th such celebration). I have written about women in Afghanistan recently, and this one also looks at women there, and other countries, as well. We are all connected, each and every one of us. As long as women and girls are [...]

Is he for real? It isn’t enough that he is insisting upon the overthrow of Egypt’s leader, but oh-my-gosh, where does HE come off lecturing ANYONE about how they should “listen to their people” (Um, hello?

I admit – I am procrastinating writing this story because it makes me want to throw up. It is disturbing to say the least, and I must thank SeriouslySickofObama, a faithful No Quarter reader, for making sure I saw it. It is not for the faint of heart. And no, I am not referring to [...]
