I’ve never been a big Ted Koppel or Nightline fan, but unlike many of his fellow Democrats (that’s an assumption, but I think a reasonable one), he understands that we are at war (it may help that he’s Jewish), and have been for a quarter century, even if many of us didn’t figure it out until five years ago. Unfortunately, many remain in denial.
Learning From History
Looks like we’re getting some new neighbors here in south Florida. From France:
There are no official U.S. government figures on the number of French Jews here, but officials in U.S. Jewish organizations said it could be anywhere from 2,000 to 4,000 in South Florida — mostly Miami-Dade.
”I would say they’re in the thousands now,” said Mendy Levy, a rabbi at The Shul synagogue in Surfside.
”There is no question of an increase in the number of French Jews in South Florida, and there’s an expectation that that rate of increase will accelerate,” said Jacob Solomon, executive vice president of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation. ‘French Jews see the handwriting on the wall and say, `We’re not going to wait until it’s too late.’ ”
Probably Not What They Were Looking For
I’m currently number five on Google for the search “Anna Nicole’s T1ts.”
Justice
Bill Clinton lied to a grand jury. As a result, he did not lose his job, did not go to jail and soon thereafter became a multi-millionaire, lionized and celebrated in his party and around the world.
If that
Getting Serious About Taliban Hunting
They’re sending in the Sioux. I wonder if they’ll count coup? I assume that taking scalps is against the Geneva Convention, though.
Do The Dems and the MSM Have A Backup Plan?
In light of growing evidence that “the surge” is working, that even Brian Williams couldn’t ignore, Robert Kagan asks an interesting question.
Thoughts On The Time Change
I think it will be pretty hilarious if, after all the hoopla about Y2K that turned out to be nothing (admittedly, we had a lot of warning), the world comes to an end because Congress decided to extend daylight savings time a month.
I’ve updated both the desktops (at least on the Windows side) and my Treo/cellphone, but who know what the morrow brings?
Who’s Your Baghdadi Now?
Looks like a major capture in Iraq:
Al-Baghdadi, also known as Abu Abdullah Rashid al-Baghdadi, has been identified in statements posted on Islamic extremist Web sites as the head of the Islamic State, which was proclaimed last year after the death of the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraqi, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Al-Baghdadi was said to have headed the Mujahedeen Shura Council, an alliance of Al Qaeda and other jihadist organizations, which was set up last year to downplay the role of foreigners in the Iraqi insurgency.
Hard to see how this is bad news. For either us or Iraq.
