Burning Korans

I couldn’t care less how many Korans that nitwit pastor in Florida burns. The question I want answered is why have the media and the politicians turned the guy into a celebrity? Are they all in the employ of the oil ticks?

Or, as Thomas Sowell says, has moral preening become their way of life? As he points out you really have to be a modern intellectual to miss the obvious in the proposed mosque at Ground Zero: It is a 15-story middle finger to the country.

Israel’s one-sided road rage

No Palis hurt, no settlers involved, so no big Western media whoop-de-do. Just more babble about the two-state solution. How’s that for court-media cynicism?

“Yesterday a car carrying a husband and wife – Jewish residents of a Jordan Valley community inside the green line – came under fire from a passing car between Rimonim and Kochav HaShachar in the Binyamin region (located outside the green line).

“The husband (who was driving) was wounded by the gunfire and lost control of the car.  His wife was injured in the subsequent roll-over/crash caused by attack.”

I’m paying more attention to these items, being just about thirty days away from visiting Israel. Altho I’m sure my host and guide, Mr. Goon, will not be taking me anywhere outside the green line.

UPDATE:  When they do report on Israel, the increasingly irrelevant court media lies. Not that they didn’t before.

Melatonin and Vitamin C

Planning my trip to Israel in early October. I’m told to expect the weather to be much like Texas, a little warmer, maybe, but not much. I am wondering how big a melatonin pill I need to start taking 1-3 days before the flight? Also how much Vitamin C to ward off the colds and other contagious stuff floating around in the airliner’s cabin? Cogitate, cogitate.

The Grabblers

Well, what do you know? The Jew-baiters have migrated to The Onion. Taking lessons from Hamas? (The cartoon is straight out of the Arab media.) Or just the good, old American neo-Nazi version? Amazing, really.

UPDATE:  Yes, I know, they probably intended it to be satire. But it cuts way too close to the bone to be funny. Call it another example of  “When Satire Goes Wrong.” Dreadfully wrong.

The Jew-baiter’s lexicon

Playing with fire is trendy again. So listen up. You’ll know it when you hear or read it, and you will, you will:

“The Israel Lobby,” “Neocons,” “Good Jews vs. Bad Jews,” “Conflict of Interest,” “No One Can Criticize Israel Without Being Labeled An Anti-Semite,” “Hasbara,” “I Like Jews, I Just Don’t Like Zionists,” “The Uniquely Evil Evil That Is Israel,” “The Awesome Power Of Jewish Mind-Control.”

My buddy Snoopy at the Zionist Entity can tell you all about the mind-control part. He actually does it. (Ignore his flag. He doesn’t mean you.)

UPDATE:  Snoop has this great quote from a Hungarian writer: “An anti-Semite is someone who hates the Jews more than is necessary.” Heh.

Knoxville 1863 review

My Israeli friend “Snoopy the Goon” (he prefers anonymity on the Web) has written a nice review of my Civil War historical battle novel and posted it on his blog with links to the Amazon sales page and the book’s new blog, “Knoxville 1863, the novel.”

Thanks, Snoop. Considering that you don’t normally like military history (and that you even had to Google Tennessee to see where Knoxville was), I admire your persistence and I’m very pleased that you enjoyed the story.
