THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Birth control pills? The automobile? Antibiotics? Arguably. But in this case it’s radar, and Robert Buderi does a grand job of explaining why in the 500-plus pages of his sometimes technical, occasionally confusing, but always compelling 1996 classic, which I recently reread for the third time.
Perhaps it’s most compelling if you use your microwave (whose [...]

And why not? It seems the sticky-but-hapless gumshoes of the Dubai police force are asserting that all Jews are suspects. No kidding. Since about 70 CE, to be precise.
Via Simply Jews, where commenter David All has a funny: given all the suspects so far named by the Dubai coppers, one could paraphrase Hilarity Clinton and [...]

Worth a full read. Although I think the military [...]

Finally got a chance to read Rev. Sizer’s blog and be overwhelmed by his bleeding-heart for Hamas/Palestinian propaganda. Complete with color photos of their touching ceremonials.
