Khaleesi — Oh, What a Beautiful Name!
“Oh my, what a beautiful baby!” People always say that, no matter how much a lie it is, no matter how much the baby looks like Aristotle Onassis on a bad day. Besides, most babies, in truth, look basically the same. Are they cute? Beautiful? They have no hair. They have no teeth.
New Israeli elections would be great
My hope is based on a simple strategy that requires only sanity among the religious-nationalist community of Israel. I know that is asking a whole bunch. But here goes.

MENKEN/HENDERSON: Donald Trump Is Healing The Country

How can Kate Smith’s work be obliterated so instantly by the kind of Truth Squad that tears down statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, while elevating the race-baiting Al Sharpton to democracy’s kingmaker? It is the kind of bald-faced hypocrisy and double standard that sometimes makes me rue the day I took an interest in the public sphere.
Jewish News Service: Sharpton notes his ‘cheap’ rhetoric towards Jews during 1991 Crown Heights riots
“That is a shameful way to describe a man known for anti-Semitic statements and incitement to violence,” said CJV president Rabbi Pesach Lerner. “Al Sharpton set race relations back years, and helped ignite a hostility towards Jews in the black community that persists to this day.
