“It is with great sadness that it’s been reported to us that Terri Schiavo has passed away.” –Paul O’Donnell, spokesman for the Schindlers Val Prieto points us to this eating establishment: Cuban Revolution is much more than a place to find great food at a great price with great atmosphere. We honor the revolutionary spirit of individuals who struggle against tyranny and oppression, fight big government and corporate greed, while giving their lives in the fight against injustice [...] CNN has a link to an article about whether people in persistent vegetative states feel pain: “Patients in a persistent vegetative state like Terri Schiavo are a subgroup who suffer severe anoxic brain injury and progress to a state of wakefulness without awareness…Patients in a persistent vegetative state do not feel pain, nor do they [...] Questions raised by a probe of the U.N. oil-for-food program for Iraq may have given critics more ammunition against the world body, even though Secretary-General Kofi Annan was cleared of corrupt practices.

The imbalance is almost as striking [...] I subscribe to many academic list-servs, and this is one article from it.

[...] On March 29, 2002, a Palestinian homicide bomber murdered 29 Israeli civilians as they sat celebrating Passover. Dozens were horribly injured. The next day, Israel responded by sending teams of IDF soldiers into the terrorist-held city of Jenin to clear out the terrorist infrastructure. It could have been done with air strikes and fuel-air bombs. [...] Power Line’s John Hinderaker summarizes the issues behind the “GOP Talking Points Memo” that has been circulated in the mainstream media and blogosphere: The full text of the memo was finally reported on March 21, when ABC News posted online “an exact, full copy of the document.” ABC headlined the story, “GOP Talking Points on [...] Dean Esmay talks about how Jews see Christians in this post.

It’s “Mein Kampf.” The popularity of Adolf Hitler’s book, filled with anti-Jewish diatribes and dreams of world domination, is puzzling some Turks. Does it reflect rising anti-Semitic or anti-Western sentiment in Muslim Turkey? Or anger over Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians and the war in [...] “People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun’s out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light within.” –Elizabeth Kubler-Ross This month marks the second year of blogging for me; first, I started the blog “Gun-Toting, Carnivorous Jew,” which then evolved into the group blog you’re reading now.
