Separated at Birth

No, this is not that kind of post. I’m talking literally.
Paula Bernstein and Elyse Schein lived very similar lives. They were both born in New York, edited their high school newspapers and studied film at university. And both were adopted in 1968.
It was only at the age of 35 that they discovered each other, and [...]

Taser Tot

Don’t tase me bub!
An infant was hit in the hand by a Taser fired by a bounty hunter, but apparently not shocked, when the child’s mother used the infant as a shield, police said.
The mother, whose name was not released, was later arrested for child endangerment.
Preliminary police reports said the bounty hunter had tracked a [...]

Evil Speaks

I definitely have more important things on my mind at the moment, but I note with interest the primative midget’s arrival in the US and speech at Columbia University.
From what I am reading, he received a hostile reception from Columbia President Lee Bollinger – the man who allowed this vermin the forum to spew forth [...]

As you can see, excitement abounds here in the Holy land. Talk of war, rocket attacks….there’s definitely much to think – and blog – about.
Having said that, I haven’t forgotten the significance of this day.

May G-d bless America, and all of the free world.

George’s Best Friend

US President George Bush has had some nice words for outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The president praised Blair, calling him extremely effective as a leader and “dogged” when he gets on a subject. “I appreciate the fact that he can see beyond the horizon. And that’s the kind of leadership the world needs,” Bush [...]

Clinton’s Crosswords

Next up, we have a story involving the words “Bill Clinton”, “Twistin’ the oldies,” “playful”, ”cross words“, and “buff.” Amazingly enough, it has nothing to do with any new sexual indiscretions on his part.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has a new pastime far from fund raising for worthy causes — designing a crossword puzzle for The [...]

When George Met Elizabeth

With Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visiting Washington DC, US President George Bush spoke to the Queen at a special ceremony on the White House lawn…

“After all, you‚Äôve dined with 10 US presidents. You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 – 1976.”

Drats! What can I do to rescue the situation?

“Umm, she gave [...]

Out of Hand

When I was just a wee lad, I saw a telemovie called The Wave, based on a book of the same name. In short, it is about a teacher who starts an experiment to show his students what life was like in Nazi Germany. He declares himself leaders of a movement called The Wave, proclaiming [...]

Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York reacts to seeing an old friend during a campaign stop at the National Education Association New Hampshire, in Concord, N.H., Friday, March 30, 2007.
Any guesses as to what she was saying?
