More Thursday news things

Posted on 05/12/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Your Thursday news roundup

Posted on 05/12/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Wednesday briefs

Posted on 05/11/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Tuesday briefs

Posted on 05/10/2011 by Meryl Yourish

What? Mention Israel’s Independence Day without reference to the Palestinians? That wouldn’t be AP. Yep. “Nakba” reference at the end of the AP story on Israel’s Independence Day. Because it’s all about the Palestinians, who turned down a state in … Continue reading →

Monday on the road briefs

Posted on 05/09/2011 by Meryl Yourish

The mystery of the contaminated jet fuel: I’ve been tracking this story for days, but there’s no explanation. Did terrorists tamper with Israel’s jet fuel? Was it a disgruntled employee? Or just a bad batch from wherever they purchased it? … Continue reading →

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers who read this blog. I am in NJ, preparing to take my mom out to breakfast. There’s almost no airplane noise in Richmond. At 1:45 this morning, I woke up thinking that a … Continue reading →

The evolving bin Laden story

Posted on 05/07/2011 by Meryl Yourish

You know all those people who said that bin Laden was effectively nothing to al Qaeda any more? Yeah, they were wrong. The wealth of information pulled from Osama bin Laden’s compound has reinforced the belief that he played a … Continue reading →

Your Friday afternoon news roundup

Posted on 05/06/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Well, that’ll piss off the Deathers: If al Qaeda itself says bin Laden is dead, will the lunatics stop pretending that he’s not? Of course not. It’s all U.S.-Zionist psyops. He’s a witch! Burn him! The modern state of the … Continue reading →

The bin Laden is still dead briefs

Posted on 05/06/2011 by Meryl Yourish

OBL wanted a hit on Amtrak: He must have watched too many old western movies when he was a kid. Turns out he wanted to blow up the tracks on a bridge so the train would fall off the tracks. … Continue reading →

Late Thursday briefs

Posted on 05/05/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Awesome. Hamas just keeps on digging in that deep hole: Now the bin Laden killing is an “atrocity.” No, it was justice, asshats. Something that we all hope for the leaders of Hamas to experience someday. That’s funny, I thought … Continue reading →

Wednesday, briefly

Posted on 05/04/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Just recycle my last fifty posts on Carter: Unity agreement, yadda yadda, Israel should accept, yadda yadda, Hamas will moderate, yadda yadda, I certified free and fair elections, yadda yadaa. Blahblahblah, Carter is an imbecile, yadda, yadda, yadda. If bin … Continue reading →

I wonder how much money I’ve really saved

Posted on 05/03/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Today marks thirteen years of non-smoking. I had a carton-a-week habit. Cartons were about $35-40 in NJ when I quit (I think). Even using the $40/week baseline, I’ve saved a ton of money not smoking.

Roger Cohen: a man who rarely misses an opportunity to miss a point

Posted on 05/03/2011 by SnoopyTheGoon

A person is rarely a master of his associative thinking. At least I am not in control of my own wild and willful one. Why is that each time I see the picture of Roger Cohen, the venerable columnist of … Continue reading →

The getting back to normal briefs

Posted on 05/03/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Actions have consequences: The Palestinians are hurting without the tax monies Israel is withholding. And while I don’t deny that Fayyad is right, those are Palestinan monies, well, perhaps you should have stopped to think before getting in bed with … Continue reading →

The DDOS is over and bin Laden is dead briefs

Posted on 05/02/2011 by Meryl Yourish

Burial at sea? That was much too good for him: Leave it to the AP to bring on the downer news in its main story about bin Laden’s death. Look, we know his death isn’t going to have a huge … Continue reading →
