It seems Arafat knowingly allowed several Palestinian businessmen to make millions selling concrete to Israel to build the wall that Arafat says is a crime against humanity. Arafat happy means various middle east tyrants are happy, and that means the U.N. gets more money, and that makes them very happy.

Got back from New Orleans last night, where I had stayed with cousin Mike and his girlfriend Corrine, and then with my friend from college, Brian Shedrow. The steak, however, was big-time quality. Now I'm back at work! :(

Jews in the News! http://jewishworldreview.com/0704/jewz_in_the_newz072104.php3

Can you believe the crap that has been spilling from Max Cleland's mouth lately? Look, the guy fought for his country and sacrificed more than I can imagine for it, but that doesn't give him the right to be a jerk. Now he's telling people that becoming an attack dog for John Kerry is his way of making up for what the Republicans did to him. What did they do? They beat him in an election. He

Imagine if you lived in a closed-shop state. You would have to join a union for many jobs, and you would have to pay to that union dues and other verious fees, and that union would then turn around and give a lot of that money to a political party. Guess which one that would probably be? The Democratic Party. The Dems have tons of money rolling in from unions without the input of the

Cynthia McKinney won the primary for the House. Maybe now her Dad will give us new spelling lessons, like "r-a-c-i-s-t" and "t-r-a-i-t-o-r." Triator is not a word I throw around lightly, but when you look at her list of contributors, which includes several very large donations from groups that are associated with anti-American terrorism, it's hard not to think it. As far as the racist part, I

Elton John is actually crying censorship because there are not enough anti-war songs being written out there, and that people get booed if they are anti-war. That's not censorship, that's people disagreeing. Maybe more people would write anti-war songs if more people were against the war. Was it censorship when Linda Rondstadt interupted a concert that people had paid good money to see to tell

John Kerry and friends like to say that Bush fooled them into authorizing the war in Iraq. Much of the left wing also likes to call Bush a moron. What does that say about the people that were fooled by a moron?

New evidence linking Iran to 9/11 hijackers and the bin Laden inner circle has the blogosphere up in arms, wondering why Bush isn't being more aggressive about opposing the mullahs in Tehran. To me it seems rather obvious. Iran has teetered on the brink of popular revolt for years. Perhaps the plan all along was to turn Iraq into a healthy, growing democracy, and wait the common people of Iran

http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110005370 Read it. Covers all the stuff in Iraq that you don't hear in the mainstream press. After reading I suddenly felt so much better about what we've done over there. Iraq might turn around and be a successful and burgeoning democracy with a growing economy in a much quicker manner than it took Japan and Germany after World War II.

Did you hear what Schwarzeneggar (wow, I think I spelled that right on the first try) said about legislators in California? He called some of them "girlie men" because they are holding up legislation in order to pander to special interests. He said they refuse to come out and say that they care more about their special interests groups than the voters they were elected to represent, and thus are

Ariel Sharon has made a public plea for Jews in France to leave that country, fearing the rise of anti-Semitism there. Chirac, of course, denounced the plea, saying it was none of Sharon's business and that they have lots of anti-racist legislation. Who cares? You can't legislate peace, and Jews are being harassed in rising numbers over there. I read about another incident almost every day.

It looks as if Palestine is falling apart. All of the sudden they are fighting themselves. One terrorist's house was blown up, and Israel has yet to admit they did it, something they are usually quick to do, and it's entirely possible it was blown up by other Palestinians who are, perhaps, fed up with the road Arafat has led them down. The terrorist inside that was wounded was supposedly

Last week I chatted with a woman I had met online on a dating service. We seemed to get along well, had similar interests, and were both intelligent. She decided we wouldn't work out, and her stated reason was that I was not sophisticated enough. After looking it up in the dictionary, I'm even more confused. My idea of sophisticated is that I think for myself, I understand more of the world

I was thinking about hate crime law, mostly because someone else was talking about them and got me thinking. Hate crime, as far as I understand it, is a crime that is motivated by hatred, prejudice, and bigotry. Although I do wish those sort of feelings did not exist, I fail to see why beating a guy because he's black is worse than beating a guy because you want to take his wallet. In a way

I read an interesting article on the youthful part of the right wing, the kind of people that have been described as "South Park" Republicans. Much of the article was right on with what I have said before, except this guy got paid to write it, and wrote it months after I did. Anyway, one thing he mentioned is that these new conservatives may end up having to ally themselves with Democrats, as

A girl was suspended froms chool for taking a motrin for menstrual cramps. She was also supposed to be sent to juvi. for a while, but her family sued the school baord. A judge ruled that the whole affair was nonsense and they could not make her go to juvi. The school board refuses to listen and feels like she deserves more punishment. That's as much as I know for now. Some

I just read about a case where a high school girl was suspended, and, pending her family's suit, supposed to have to switch to a juvi. school, all for taking motrin for menstruel cramps. Thankfully the judge said this was nonsense, but the school board doesn't feel that the month and a half suspension that has already been served is enough punishment. Eventually some kid is

http://redstate.org/story/2004/7/15/19628/9470 So Clinton, while somewhat lacking in integrity, actually seems to go against his party line. Unlike most of the Democrats today, he doesn't ignore the fact that everyone and their mother thought that Saddam was a serious danger with WMDs up until Bush actually decided to do something about it. The Clinton administration did about as much as

Just read something I find pretty funny. I'm not sure that you can really take this as a sign of anything significant, but remember how the left kept saying that the real reason we went to war with Iraq was to help was for oil and the bottom line of big corporations, with Halliburton being the poster-child for such conspiracy theories? Well it turns out that Halliburton is reporting a loss for
