“… you’d rather see me paralyzed …”

Posted on 01/19/2009 by Soccerdad

Bob Dylan’s “Positively 4th Street” is a rebuke to an insincere ex-friend. It’s impossible to read a recent New York Times editorial “A way out of Gaza?” without feeling the same disgust towards the editors of the Times. It begins. … Continue reading →
