He’d leave Manhattan

"Colonel Gaddafi complained that he woke up at 4am New York time ‘because it was morning in Libya’. He noted that other world leaders also looked sleepy and suggested moving the UN to somewhere ‘comfortable’."

Brilliant suggestion. By all means, let’s help move the Dictator’s Club to somewhere more appropriate. Say, Riyad? My godmother and great aunt, who worked for a UN program in Taiwan in the 1940s, would not approve, of course, but her old outfit bears no resemblance to the new, Israel-baiting cesspool.

Those Israeli mind rays

Barry’s preferred president of Honduras, the deposed Manuel Zelaya, needs to be fitted with a tinfoil hat. To stop the mind rays from the "Israeli mercenaries," he tells the Miami Herald, who are trying to assassinate him.

But all is not lost. The dictator’s club is delivering food to his basement room at the Brazilian embassy, when they can spare the time from enjoying Barry’s own denunciation of the Israelis. Birds of a feather, indeed. Now that their Honduras op has been exposed, we’ll just have to wait and see what the Elders of Zion have to say about it. (Hmmm. That was quick.)

UPDATE:  Un, Manuel, President Let Me Be Clear is down on you now. Must be your tinfoil hat.

The 233rd Haveil Havalim

I didn’t make it this time. Like I did last June. But the Vanity of Vanities is always worth a read. And, coincidentally, the 233 is the age of the American republic, home of the largest Jewish community in the world outside of Israel.

A Texan in Auschwitz

"Someone told me a few months ago that Auschwitz would be a life-changer for me, and they were right, but I would like to emphasize that it is a good change. In the six weeks since I was there, the majority of my previous petty concerns have stopped mattering to me, completely…It has been a very surprising and welcome change. My experience of life is different, in a good way."

Blood libel

It never takes long for another libel against the Jews to surface. Mankind’s oldest scapegoat. This time, it’s a Swedish tabloid. No surprise. The Swedes did lots of business with the Nazis until Hitler began losing the war.

Tisha B’Av

Before I forget. Lest I forget. The saddest day of the year. Kate has an excellant post on it. On the prayer for rebuilding the Temple, however, I will think of it symbolically. Having no good source for red heifers.
