JR needs to take care of himself. He's visibly aged recently and can't even summon the energy to wear the bow tie anymore...

Fair enough, perhaps things are tougher for Jews in Iran than a quick look at Wikipedia would indicate. Though outsiders have to be careful, this is a minefield with possible biases in anything we read. It does make you admire the tenacity of such a minority to preserve their heritage in...

Wikipedia tells me that Jews in Iran have schools, synagogues (with rabbis) and their own newspaper. Yes, their relationship with the regime has been problematic at times but is not simply one of persecution or suppression. They have a representative in Parliament. They have fared better than...

Hamas is the next Hezbollah. Israel is doing everything possible to give them credibility and martyr status. Funny how Israel funded both of them in the past too.

Because whether or not she will make a good VP, her selection is political genius. Suburban and small-town conservatives who might or might not vote otherwise will be lining up around the block to vote for her and that old guy.

Obama is toast. I'm not pro-McCain by any means, but this is my reading...the Dems will hate Palin for generations for bringing in enough lackadaisical Republican voters to give them the election, not to mention for being a woman that a lot of ordinary women actually like, not just lemon-sucking...
