Muslim to run Holocaust center

Posted on June 19, 2011 | Comments Off on Muslim to run Holocaust center

Not only is the new director of Manhattan (NYC) College’s Holocaust Center a Muslim woman, but she isn’t sure who the Land of Israel belongs to;

“….criticism of Afridi was partially provoked by an article she wrote for Common Ground but widely circulated by the Khaleej Times (Aug. 11, 2008), an Arab newspaper.

“In the article, Afridi recalls an exchange at a Jerusalem bar that happened 18 years before, when she was studying archeology in Israel. An Israeli Jew at the bar, not knowing Afridi wasn’t Jewish, voiced the opinion that ‘surely you know, as a Jew, that this is our ancestral homeland.’

“She responded, ‘Well, no … First, I am not Jewish, and second, I am not quite sure whose land this is.’”

Oh, yes, her new appointment is going to work out really, really well.

My heart is in the East

Posted on June 18, 2011 | Comments Off on My heart is in the East

As a contemporary translation of Yehuda Halevi’s paean to Zion has it:

“I may be in the West, but my heart is in the East.”

Indeed, especially after my March-April visit to the Zionist entity, better known as Israel. Long may she wave.

President Palin

Posted on June 16, 2011 | Comments Off on President Palin

Can she beat the economy-destroying adolescents of Obamalot and our predominately-Left news media? I do believe we’re going to find out.

As Mark Levin says, she’s solid: “She’s solid on social issues. She’s solid on fiscal issues. She’s solid against these subsidies against big companies – in other words, she is not a corporatist. She’s not a crony or a believer in that. She’s solid on taxes and spending. I’m just confused. She’s solid on Israel. She’s solid on the military. She’s solid with respect to our allies. Is there some big issue that’s disqualifying? What—because the liberals don’t like her? …”

Meanwhile, even before she decides whether to run for the GOP nomination, let the Palin email panty-sniffing extravaganza go on. As opposed to investigating Dem Congressman Weiner’s texting of young girls.

The Lame-stream Media is out to destroy Palin at all costs—including what’s left (so to speak) of their credibility.

They never have asked for  Obamalot’s emails and other official records from his days as a state senator. We all heard about W’s college transcripts and his C average.

Obamalot’s transcripts? Off limits.

But, then, Sarah being the spawn of Satan, her stuff is really, really important!

Cheeseburgers in Mea Shearim

Posted on June 15, 2011 | Comments Off on Cheeseburgers in Mea Shearim

No, you can’t buy one in Mea Shearim. And, as Pisa, a commenter at Simply Jews suggests, just the act of eating one on the street in that part of Jerusalem could be dangerous to your health. You could discover that the excitable Arabs aren’t the only one who throw stones.

Mousing the Internet

Posted on June 15, 2011 | Comments Off on Mousing the Internet

If you’re tired of the phrase “surfing the Internet” (since water and electronics are a poor mix) try Sci-Fi author Michael Flynn’s locution (from his novel In The Country of the Blind): “mousing the Internet.” Makes a lot more sense. Since you already have a mouse, right?

Here’s your change, suckers

Posted on June 11, 2011 | Comments Off on Here’s your change, suckers

Obamalot promised that, if elected, they would whack the coal industry and raise your electricity rates. Rate hikes of up to 35 percent will keep that promise, as the economy continues to head south. Hey, nobody ever said keeping the greens happy was going to be easy on you.
