Sorry Donald, once you are subject of a celebrity roast on Comedy Central, you can no longer be considered viable to become President.
Donald, we all know you do not want to be President.  You are scared shitless of having to complete the financial disclosure statements.
Poor Sarah Palin.  First she gets eclipsed by the rising full moon crazy Michelle Bachmann and now she must jump on the birther bandwagon to keep up with Trump.  Sarah: Plain and Irrelevant, an afterschool special.
Saddens me to see that all weekend the talking heads and pundits were too busy arguing who won and who lost with respect to the government shutdown.  Welcome to Meet The Press and your host Charlie Sheen.
Check out Discovery Channel’s Human Planet: great stories and superb photography.  Four years of filming to produce this series and it is worth it.  Even Mrs. Diggapedia watched.
It is time to privatize TSA, Amtrak, Post Office, and all other government agencies and enterprises that are hopelessly mismanaged and poorly operated.  Watching three TSA officials staring at the same screen did not make me feel any safer, only more pissed off.
So the Arab League wants a no fly zone over Gaza.  Do the idiots realize that would include rockets and mortars COMING FROM Gaza to Israel?
Hang in there Rory McIlroy.  You will win a major soon.  Signed Jan Van de Velde.
Sox are only three games behind Yankees.  Sorry Rays, Jays, and Orioles, but you’re not who I am worried about this year.
NY Jets employee Jenn Sterger wants her life back after the whole sexting scandal with Brett Favre.  Yeah that phrase worked so well for BP CEO Tony Hayward.
People won’t want to admit it, but golf needs Tiger Woods to be competitive. 
I guess I am an elitist, but when I heard that the IndyCar stop in Alabama this weekend was called the Alabama Grand Prix I partly cringed and laughed.  Alabama and Grand Prix go together like Liberal KKK Member.

A Secular American Jew and a Love for Israel

As many of you know, I have dedicated many postings to the State of Israel on a range of topics including: it’s history, the present day government, the Jewish-Palestinian question, and the region in general.   Growing up in a liberal conservative Jewish household (the oxymoron is quite common as American Jews were almost exclusively political liberals and the conservative branch of Judaism the most common) and attending Hebrew school as a kid you obviously build an affinity for the State of Israel.   I do not remember the Six-Day War of 1967, but I have vivid memories of celebrating Israel’s 25 th anniversary in 1973 and the Yom Kippur War later that year.   As a ten year old attending Yom Kippur services I saw the worried looks on my parents and the other adults at the shul as members of the congregation would periodically step outside to get news reports from car radios and transistor radios (We still drove and used electrical appliances during the high holidays, though several fam

September 10, 2001 was a Monday

Where were you on September 10, 2001?   What were you worried about?   What occupied your thoughts, worries, hopes, and dreams?   What were you excited about?   What were you interested in? September 10, 2001 was a Monday. Cindy and I were still laughing about the recent visit from the Three Amigas: Leah, Roseanne, and Valerie, and the adventures of Sedona, a certain screen door, a forgotten carrot cake, and breakfast for champions.   We were also dealing with a 1995 Chevy Blazer that seemed to be on its last legs, surviving our first Arizona summer, thinking about what to remodel in the house, dealing with the concept of a Home Owners Association, thinking that my best shot at a World Series game maybe with the fledgling Arizona Diamondbacks, and looking forward to a visit from Scott, Lori, and the boys. But what about America?   We knew nothing about a tiny town in Pennsylvania called Shanksville; Guantanamo Bay was the setting for A Few Good Men, and we still taped shows and listene

Sunni and Shia: So who are the bad guys again?

Baby faces vs. heals?   Cowboys vs Indians?   Good guy always where the white hat.   “Dig is he a good guy or bad guy?”   Bad guys always, looked, well, bad. You’re either with us or you’re against us.   Iraq, Iran, and North Korea are the axis of evil. Americans, for the most part, have a pretty simple outlook on conflict: just tell us who the bad guys are and we’ll know who to root against.   We tend to lump similar races and peoples into larger buckets, mostly due to the media’s inclination to treat us like potential Jeff Foxworthy competitors.   But the world is anything but simple and as I have written previously, the Middle East is as confusing and confounding place as you can find.   During the Iran and Iraq war of the 1980’s most Americans took the position that “…as long as they kill each other, I’m good.”   When civil war ravaged Afghanistan, we joined the side of the Mujahedeen because they were fighting the Soviets and the Soviets were our archenemy, a position they occupie
