Well, I’ve really got to get back to either: Writing papers or studying/reading endless amounts of neuroscience journal articles, but I need a break, so I’ll blog.
The reports from Israel are indicating that the terrorist bomber last night was a muslim from the UK and that he had an accomplice whose bomb failed to detonate (thank g-d) and who fled the scene (also from the UK). This may add an interesting dimension to things, especially now that the extremely flawed “Roadmap” (which will lead to nowhere) has been released. Bah. That’s all I have to say right now (I don’t have time to articulate my full response to it because of finals).
The story that the Mossad played a role in the rescue of PFC J. Lynch has appeared again, this time over at Arutz-7 (in print)
Again, here’s another example of a waste of judicial resources: Judge Rejects Suit Against Bush Over War . People, can’t you drop this already? Thursday night, 9PM EST, President Bush will be speaking on the USS Abraham Lincoln to announce that the main combat portion of Operation Iraqi Freedom is OVER. Over, done, finish, sof, gamur, fin, terminado…give it a rest!
Iraq is believed to be home to the cradle of civilization (between the Tigris and the Euphraties Rivers), as Abraham was originally from the city of Ur-Kassdim, and possibly the location of the tomb of Gilgamesh (the one from the Epic-but don’t start me on that book, I had a whole class on it). So it’s only fitting that from the home of the world’s first “civilization” comes the return of the world’s oldest profession: Prostitution–yes, it’s back in Iraq.
For a very good laugh today, you’ve gotta read Frank J’s “Career Day” post . Today’s Boondocks is actually very funny too (it’s not political either), and Doonesbury is also funny today too.
In the anti-idiotarian political humor category, Day By Day has done it again, producing another excellent strip! (Everyone should make it a daily read!!!)
Finally, a question for those of you out there….is it just me, or does NYT Columnist (and author) and Brandeis Alum (’75) Thomas Friedman’s piece editorial read a lot like Globe Columnist Jeff Jacoby’s piece (which came 3 days before Thomas’)?
[the first three paragraphs of Thomas’ piece at least].
Okay, must
