Another Master of Juvenile Scorn
I think I already bestowed this title on Jeffrey Goldberg, but I’m going to point out again how he is, indeed, a Master of Juvenile Scorn on the same level as yours truly (and that is a rare, rare, rare … Continue reading
Friday fire briefs
Pray for rain: Jameel is live-blogging the fire again. Tragedy trumps posturing? Netanyahu and Erdogan talk. If only Erdogan keeps this attitude after the disaster is over, because NFW is Israel going to apologize to Turkey. Just how old is … Continue reading
