How did the Knesset react to Bush?
So we all know that bush tried to trivialize the Shoah to support his petty politicking (odd spelling). Does anybody know how the Knesset, which includes members who actually remember what appeasement and Nazism were, react to this?...more »

Who says that Obama is going to Israel to pander. Maybe he's just looking to get some good falafel and hummus.

So let me get this straight: Obama, Blair, and Hitler were all popular iconoclasts, so Obama, Blair, and Hitler are exactly alike. Is that about right?

You can call a person a troll when you can back it up, which he has. So, instead of whining about being called out, show some evidence of complex thought.

A good measure might be if the fetus can be safely removed and remain viable. In those cases, the only reason to choose abortion would be cost, which I don't really think is a good enough reason to let the current chaos continue.
Complicating things even further is the Florida Jewish population. In the case of Orthodox Jews opposing abortions, there is a chance that they are doing so based upon Talmudic law, which counts the fetus as the limb of the mother. While this might seem to be a big boon for the pro-choice side, remember that such a definition would make an abortion equivalent to hacking one's arm off, and Orthodox Judaism doesn't look kindly on tattoos, let alone amputation.

Don't be too quick to call an end to suburbs. H. G. Wells thought they'd be long gone by now, but they instead expanded. While they will contract somewhat, many coastal suburbs show similar size and density to what was considered urban not too many centuries ago, giving a modicum of self-sufficiency, and telecommunications make is easy to work while in ISRAELI suburbs, let alone American ones (I know an Israeli who would have worked on Sim City 3000 if shipping back then hadn't made it impossibly to actually get the early versions, but says that modern communications would have made the distance trivial).

I watched RV, assisted my dad in putting in a filling and crown (a friend of his is staying with my family and needed some work done and all the hygienists were celebrating), and went into town to see the “Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular.”
