A sweet new year to our Jewish friends everyone.

Bad 9/11 prediction

Instapundit, six years ago Tuesday:

"…the TV footage of jubilant Palestinians just proves what I’ve always suspected — they just don’t get it. They’ll learn. Oh, how they’ll learn…their jubilation will be long remembered. The American role as ‘mediator’ in the Middle East is over. Since — though they don’t realize it — that’s the only thing that has kept the Palestinians in the game since 1991, their future is likely to be grim, now."

Hasn’t turned out that way, after all, as the Gazan Entity’s rockets continue to rain down on Israel. 

ROP strikes again

Never satisfied with merely occupying the Temple Mount, the Religion of Peace must proceed in destroying the Jewish antiquities (this time with a backhoe) which their "scholars" laughingly claim do not exist. Laughingly, that is, if you enjoy the little Muslim history joke that there never was one Jewish temple there to begin with–let alone two of them–upon which they planted their "conquering" mosque. Purely in the interest of "peace," no doubt.

UPDATE: Via LGF, an article about what antiquities are being destroyed by the Muslims. 

Ellis Island of the West

It didn’t last long, only from 1907 through 1914, and only ten thousand passed through. But for a time, Galveston was the Ellis Island of the West for Jews escaping persecution in Russia. A littleknown piece of Texana worth the read. "Forgotten Gateway," on Galveston’s 75-year history as a port of entry, a new exhibit of the Bob Bullock Texas History Museum in Austin, is scheduled to open in February.

Double standard time

Map reading

What? You expect Los Angeles Times editors to learn geography? Too mundane, too mundane.

The flying car

The original popular science dream vehicle is actually under development by Urban Aeronautics, an Israeli aerospace company, Bell Helicopter, the University of Pennsylvania, and the feds. With military and civilian uses, from medevac to gunship to bridge inspection. Be sure to read some of the notices at the site, particularly by Aviation Week. Won’t be cheap enough for private commuting at first, if ever. But maybe down the road.
