The Big Game – Liveblogging

Not long before the game begins, you are duly [...]

Stick it to Livingstone

Something Jewish reports how Londoners fed up with the anti-Semitic bovine excrement secreting from “Red” Ken Livingstone’s mouth are hitting back – with bumper stickers.

Through to the Finals

Maccabi Tel Aviv made it to the final of the Euroleague, smashing Spanish side Tau Vitoria 85-70.

I have just signed on with my blog host for another year, in order to take advantage of a special deal. Although I have been toying with the idea of switching to another blog software, my initial investigations indicated that there would be a lot of work on my part in order to switch, and [...]

A Rare American Idol Post

You may or may not have noticed that this site has been American Idol-less. Frankly, I am not really that interested in this season’s goings-on. However, what I saw last night is worthy of a blog mention.
 
Guest singer Andrea Bocelli and some other guy were helping the contestants, and making comments about them. At one point, [...]
