Benny Morris, a “father” of the school of “Post-Zionism” uses historical facts and accuracy to take down Tom Segev’s latest book.

Despite the fact that I often disagree with many of the (Domestic) political viewpoints expressed in the pages of TNR, their coverage of Israel is almost always on point. Articles like this are just an example of it.
Goodbye hot dog carts…
Hello Halal Carts!
This article instantly brings to mind:
Khav Khalash–Would you like Crab Juice or Mountain Dew?”
Now how soon till some other tpyes of carts appear…say vegetarian carts or Kosher carts?
Looks like the Iraqi lawmakers, in their pick and choose manner of creating a democracy, have decided to emulate a negative feature of our legislatures.
The untimely lengthy recess…..
Next up: lobbyists perhaps?
Okay, maybe Yankees fans aren’t that dense after all

Yankee fan #1: What do you like better — hot dogs or hamburgers?
Yankee fan #2: I like ‘em both, man.
Yankee fan #1: You can’t like ‘em both! Hot dogs and hamburgers are mortal enemies, asshole. Everyone knows that!

This whole Pace-”hate crime” story reeks of stupidity all around
First off the actions of the student weren’t that bright to begin with.
Second, the fact that this case was referred to the NYPD, where as it should’ve been handled as an internal (university matter).
Third, the fact that the DA is considering pressing felony charges over this whole thing? Again, this should’ve been resolved through the University’s “judicial system”.
None of these things seem to have been too thought out, and the time should be taken to reconsider.
On a side note, the outrage at LGF over the accused’ name and picture being published in the local media, is a bit over the top. If anything, the media were doing their job in reporting the story. It’s doubtful that any of the considerations raised at LGF were even consdiered.
AP: Iraqis bask in rare joy after soccer win
Interestingly enough, not one of the many wire story artilcles like the one linked to above, discuss the game itself
Looks like I’m not the only one sidelined with a sore ankle:
Sore Ankle Sidelines Beckham
Then again, I’m ‘not getting paid anywhere near what Beckham makes….
The voices are saying that this is a promising development
Times: Scientists breed world’s first mentally ill mouse
On a more serious note, perhaps this headline is misleading, as aren’t there mouse models of other mental illnesses (besides schizophrenia–which is the subject of the article)

NYDN: Clinton hot and bothered over cleavage report
Look, that’s a topic that should remain between her and Bill–the rest of us don’t want to know about it.
One would think that with the money that the Royals have from oil revenue, they may want to use a private plane to prevent problems like this:
Arab princesses kicked off British Airways plane to jeers and whistles after refusing to sit next to male strangers
That would’ve made things so much easier–no?
Secondary question: If these princesses wear traditional Arab dress, what were they shopping for in Milan?

Numbers don’t lie or so the saying goes.
But is A-Rod at 499 or 500 homers?

The first iPhone related lawsuit is filed…..
The argument however looks rather weak, and it’s doubtful that the suit will last…
Went to the doctor….he advised some X-Rays and a consult with a sports medicine doctor.
He also mentioned that I should go out and buy new shoes. Shoe shopping—yuck!
Wearing a Hawaiian shirt and slippers on the floor of Congress: inappropriate? Perhaps. Definitely amusing.
Letting Sheila Jackson Lee (moonbat/kook-etrordinaire -TX0 preside over the House of Representatives (even at 7:30PM): INSANE
(The lack of pictures for the former is also dissapointing)
Already overpriced–Starbucks to increase prices
Maxwell House to change its blend

The more revelations coming out about Spitzer’s aodes
sending the State Police after Senate leader Bruno–makes Spitzer’s campaign promises of being a “Reformer” ain Albany seem kaput.
Not that Bruno or any of the other Albany long-timers are above criticism themselves–in fact the opposite is just the case.
However, this kind of behavior coming from the AG turned Governor notorious for going after Wall Street Executives for similar transgressions smacks of hypocrisy and undermines his campaign and platform.
Eh…it’s Albany as usual.
