Hammertime!

MC Hammer has a blog (hat tip: Egyptian Sandmonkey). I just wish he would blog more about Israel, given his pro-Israel leanings.

Copacabanannibal

There’s no accounting for some people’s taste: A convicted German cannibal wants to make Barry Manilow, Hugh Grant, Robbie Williams And Liam Gallagher his next victims. Armin Meiwes is currently serving an eight and a half year jail sentence for eating the dead body of Bernd Juergen, a 43-year-old engineer he met on the internet [...]

Mahmoud Wants a Hand

The Israeli response to this latest chutzpah from neo palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas should be “Talk to the hand.” Speaking of which.. “I’m no-one’s puppet, am I Mr Hand?”

Israel Video Blog

Shame on me for not mentioning this earlier, but the Israeli Consulate in New York launched an online video blog over a week ago. The site received more than 100,000 hits on its first day, which places it slightly above Israellycool on the traffic rankings.* Thank you to Meryl for reminding me about this site. [...]

The results of the survey held that 68 percent of American citizens completely support Israel, while 23% do not. And [...]

The Big French Phoney

French President Jacques Chirac, his prime minister and other politicians joined about 1,000 people at a Paris synagogue, for the memoral service of Ilan Halimi, the young French Jew murdered by Muslims because he was Jewish. I can’t say that I am particularly touched by photos like this one of Chirac at the synagogue.. ..because [...]

5 Things About Me You Didn’t Know (and Probably Don’t Care)..

..but I am going to blog about them anyway since I want to, and I can… 1. I am totally bored by the Winter Olympics, and have not watched it this year for even a second. 2. I actually do have a day job. A very demanding day job, which keeps me very busy. 3. [...]

Curious Choice of Song

I just watched The Daily Show, on which John Stewart noted that at the Winter Olympics opening cermony, the Danish team entered the stadium to the song, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood.”
