Tuesday, briefly

Gorilla Boy was unavailable for comment: Iran says they’re postponing indefinitely sending a monkey into space. See title. (For newer readers, Gorilla Boy is one of my favorite nickames for Mad Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Really, look at his picture. I swear he could be in the San Diego Zoo and nobody would notice the difference.) On a serious note: Gee, their space program isn’t as advanced as they claimed it was. Who knew?

Those wily Jews strike again: Of course, it’s not confirmed, but it looks like more Jews won more Nobel prizes this year. Saul Perlmutter? I’m thinking. Adam Reiss? Maybe. And the winners for medicine include Jules Hoffman and Ralph Steinman. That list of Jews winning Nobel prizes is going to be longer this year, methinks.

The myth of Muslim tolerance: A Libyan Jew went back to Libya, helped in the revolt against Ghaddafy, and then tried to restore a synagoge in Tripoli. So of course, those tolerant Muslims came by with weapons and made him stop cleaning out the garbage that had collected in the synagogue for decades.

Watch the world blame the Jews: Congress put a hold on $200 million headed for the Palestinian Authority. In spite of the fact that it only just happened, the Pals are already whining that Congress is putting Palestinian babies at risk. And of course, the AP repeats their words uncritically. The Israelis are willing to talk peace. The Palestinians are openly defying the U.S. and also refusing to talk to the Israelis. Actions have consequences, Mr. Abbas.

  1. Sabba Hillel says:

    You are insulting the primates that Dian Fossey dedicated her life to studying on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. Both those who believe that gorillas are sentients as well as those who believe that they are not would agree that they are on a higher level than Mad Mahmoud.

    He demonstrates the statement in the talmud that a person can be higher than the angels or lower than the beasts.

  2. Score’s up to five now and there’s a bone-fide born in Israel (1941) Jew now. :-)
