A Front Page Article in the Toronto Star:

‘Attack on Gaza Opens Old Wounds.’ ( Nov. 16, 2012 ) That piece exemplifies the reason I do not read the Toronto Star, although my LSW does (which is why I occasionally do take a look.) The article recounts the memories of a man who is now a professor at the University of Toronto, and who lost his... Sign in to see full entry.

This ain’t News…

At least not to me and many others. But it reminded me of the time when I wrote about this and it was suggested to me that I got it all wrong because I didn’t speak Arabic and had to rely on translators who also got everything wrong and didn’t understand that everything really meant something else,...

From the Shores of Nova Scotia…

Congratulations to those Blogit friends of mine whose man won, and my condolences to those whose man lost. You all know how I would have voted if I were an American, but as a Canadian I was merely a very interested observer. If I were an American I would be upset. As an interested observer, I am a...

The Benghazi Disaster – An Answer to Pat’s Post…

Let me begin by making it clear that I did not watch the ‘debate’, and I’ll tell you why not. Aside from who’s the better ‘debater’ at any given moment, there’s very little if anything to be learned from them, ever. That is the case for the debates frequently held in the halls of academe (where I... Sign in to see full entry.

Chat with a liberal American…

I had a chat with an American friend of mine a couple of days ago. He’s a liberal, I am a conservative, but it doesn’t matter, we can talk a lot about other things. Nonetheless, it was inevitable that the US presidential election came up… Now, everyone who’s been reading my ‘Views’ blog knows that I... Sign in to see full entry.

Mali Islamists tell France they will open doors of hell…

In yesterday’s post, which at least one Blogger thought was ‘misleading’, LOL, I wrote of the situation developing in Mali. To clarify things a little more, I thought I should post a short article that demonstrates some of the complexities, and how yet another European country’s colonial past is...

Oct 17, 2012, just one Day in the Lives of Israelis…

Imagine that, wherever you live, every day someone is lobbing rockets and mortars at your country, your communities, at you … This is just the count of one day, some days are worse, some a little quieter…Often it’s ‘down the road’, but tomorrow it could be you …And it goes on, day in, day out… Try...
