Election 2004: Is this news?
Drudge is reporting: Dean Attacks Bush on Defense, Foreign Policy
How is this news? This isn’t anything new…it sounds like the same-old recycled thing we’ve been hearing over and over again. An aside: Dean is clueless on defense and foreign policy.
While I’m on the topic of Dean, it looks like he’s calling on Jimmeh Carter for advice.
Meanwhile, it looks like Clark is turning to Hollywood to jumpstart his campaign
The Forward reports on how the Dem candidates are apparently ignoring Ohio. It’ll be a crucial state come 2004.
Going back to Dean…so apparently the man who claims that the Bush administration is too secretive, has apparently sealed his records as Governor. Eye On the Left has the whole round up
What is he hiding after all?
The list of most influential Jews
Via Steve Silver, the Jewish newspaper the Forward last week unveiled its annual Forward 50, or the 50 most influential American Jews.
Taking the top spot for the second year in a row was is a major player in the so called “Zionist Neo-con cabal”–Deputy SECDEF Paul Wolfowitz.
Going through the list, a few thoughts (besides the fact that I don’t recognize most of the names):
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)–I don’t think I’ve heard much of the guy
Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA)–he’s Jewish? I never knew that. He’s far too left though. Way too far to the left.
Fred Zeidman–never heard of him, but I like his committment to philanthropy.
Michael Lerner—yuck! Just hearing this man’s name makes me sick. He’s garbage. (He’s also big in the NOIN, UPFJ etc. crowd)
Rabbi (officer) Carlos Huerta (101st Airborne Division)– I’ve never heard of him until now either, but this man is a real Jewish (and American) Hero!
Rachel Fish–Bravo! She deserves honor for her anti-hate work!
Alan Dershowitz & Phyllis Chesler–their books are supposed to be good.
Daniel Pipes– *Grin* I can’t say enough about this man
Morton Klein–Good man; good organization (ZOA), all around good stuff
Malcolm Hoenlein & James Tisch–These two have done good work. I didn’t know who they were until now, I’ve only heard of their efforts.
Jon Stewart–I LOVE The Daily Show. It’s extremely quality TV.
There’s one other figure on the list, but I think he warrants a post of his own.
Now back to the studying I should be doing
A Bad Day for the Terrorists
Let’s start in the Gaza Strip, in the town of Rafah, where a Jihad Islami operative was killed in a “work accident”
Moving eastward…
US Forces Kill 46 Iraqi Terrorists Attempting Ambush
And a bad day for the terrorists…means a good day for all those who love freedom
Update Latest counts say that the 4th Infantry Division nailed 54 terrorists
Back in Boston
I’m back here in the Commonwealth of MA (otherwise affectionately known as the People’s Republic of Taxachussets), and back inside the little bubble known as Brandeis.
I’ve got lots of homework to do, and like most Americans, really want to catch some football. So it looks like I’m going to be juggling things around (as usual).
At the same time, I’ve found some stories that are definitely worth blogging on. With that being said, I guess I”ll be taking periodic “breaks” from my work to blog or procrastinate in other ways. All that aside, it’s time to go read…
