Apropos of nothing political, but many things culinary…. I have to say that food was one of the highlights of this weekend. On Friday night we were with dear friends at the State Theater in New Brunswick, NJ, to see A Midsummer Night’s Deam – as a ballet (though, improbable though it might seem, there was singing as well). Wonderful production, excellent throughout. And what...

This is the second poll like this that I have seen: intentionally worded in a way guaranteed to get a negative response, and then given a headline with a conclusion that cannot be made from that wording. I am referring to the headline, and first paragraphs of Mark Murray’s article for NBC News. Let’s start with the headline alone: Poll: Nearly Half of Americans Take Issue With...

So tell me: As Benjamin Netanyahu flies in from Israel to address a joint session of congress – and as President Obama, his henchman John Kerry, and a number of Democrat congresspeople tell him he is unwelcome here… …how do the people feel? Well, here is a chart from Gallup measuring support for Israel and Palestinian Arabs over the past 27 years. Read it and see for...
As you probably know, Debbie Wasserman Schultz (DWS) is a member of the House of Representatives, who represents an eminently safe Democrat seat in Florida. For several years, she has also Chaired the Democratic National Committee (DNC). What you may not know, however, is that DWS appears to be interested in replacing Marco Rubio as U. S. Senator, in next year’s election. Does she have a...
The New York Times, which has been a severe critic of Israel for as long as I can remember, is certainly holding true to form these days. As you know Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is coming to the United States and speaking before a joint session of congress on Tuesday, to remind us of something that President Obama apparently is incapable or unwilling to process – that...
Evidently they ran out of things to dredge up from his pre-high school days…so they had to start making them up. The Daily Beast put out a story that Scott Walker, that neanderthal mouth-breathing imbecile from Wisconsin (aka: a possible Republican presidential candidate) had – can you believe this guy – cut the ability of state colleges and universities to report rapes...
What do you do when facts are uncomfortable? Do you deal with those facts as they are, or simply pretend they don\’t exist? The University of Minnesota apparently has decided on the latter approach. Excerpted from Chuck Ross\’s article at dailycaller.com: Facingbacklash for allegedly stigmatizing minorities – particularly Blackmen – the University of...
…explained in one cartoon – and an 8 year old one at that: Any questions?
Hold the presses. There has been a Hillary Clinton siting Hiatal Hillary, who has barely been seen in public for months, has emerged from her self-imposed Hillbernation. But, of course there is a catch. The catch is that she only did so to engage in as doting a love-fest interview as you will ever see, with someone named Kara Fisher, an internet wonk into hero-worship and...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Melissa Harris-Perry, the far-left host of a weekend show on (where else?) MSNBC. This is her wit and wisdom about the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman confrontation, spoken yesterday to an at least somewhat appreciative audience at Cornell University: “Ihope [Martin] tried to stay alive. I hope he knew that he lived in astate with a...
To the apparent dismay of Senators Durbin (D-IL) and Feinstein (D-CA), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declined to provide them with a private audience when he comes to the USA and speaks to a joint session of congress next Tuesday. Here is Mr. Netanyahu\’s letter to Mr. Durbin and Ms. Feinstein: That is a very nice way of saying “If you want to hear...
What kind of a deal can the United States possibly hope to make with Iran? Well, maybe Iran\’s attitude toward the USA might give us a hint. From Robert Midgely\’s article at London\’s Daily Telegraph (What? Do you think our media would be reporting something like this?): Iranianstate television has broadcast footage showing military drills whichtarget a replica of a US...
Rahm Emanuel is a former White House chief of staff – for Chicago\’s adopted favorite son Barack Obama. He is a four term congressperson. And he is a Democrat Mayor of Chicago who has Mr. Obama\’s blessing So how could he possibly be forced into a primary runoff? By being insufficiently progressive enough and insufficiently obsequious enough to the teachers...
