San Francisco's Mayor: Tel Aviv "Better" than San Francisco
http://ouriel.typepad.com/ myblog/ 2008/ 05/ san-franciscos.html

Always great to hear popular figures talking about Israel so positively. The San Francisco's Mayor in visit in Israel seems impressed and has exactly the same reaction i had when i first come to Israel: the reality here is SO different from the one distributed over the media.

True Objectivity
http://www.sfpulpit.com/ 2008/ 05/ 13/ true-objectivity/

(By John MacArthur) Biblical truth is objective. It is true by itself. It is true whether or not we feel it’s true. It is true whether or not it has been validated by someone’s experience. It is true because God says it is true. It is wholly true, and it is true down to the smallest jot and tittle.

Hillary's Inner Man
http://accidentalblogger.typepad.com/ accidental_blogger/ 2008/ 05/ hillarys-inn…

In a previous post I had mentioned Clinton hack James Carville's cavalier assertion that Hillary Clinton is 1.5 times more man than the average male and 3 times more so than Obama. Perhaps Hillary has displayed her machismo a bit...

How We See Things in Kuwait
http://intlxpatr.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 05/ 14/ how-we-see-things-in-kuwait/

AdventureMan and I have an ongoing discussion over the cell phone ban while driving in Kuwait. I see people pulled over to the side of the road, at traffic circles, along the major north/south routes, pulled over in complicated neighborhoods.

It’s kind of a stressful time in my personal soap opera. Every once in a while I pause to give myself a boost, repeating two words that have a remarkable ability to lift my spirits: President Obama! When friends are in the vicinity, I tend to add a few more words of rational exuberance, such as, “Imagine!

FASHION JIHAD: UNIV VA. STUDENTS DESIGN ABAYA, A CAGE,
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/ atlas_shrugs/ 2008/ 05/ fashion-jihad-u.html

The U.S. students made their first sketches and sent them to Qatar for initial critiques. The cultural jihad continues apace. What's next? The medical school practicing clitorectomies? Has there been any political system as oppressive and contemptuous of women then Islam? Women are chattel in those damn sacks.

Flying the Unfriendly Skies
http://thebloggingcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ flying-unfriendly-skies.htm…

Buy at AllPosters.com Remember when flying was fun? Remember when flight attendants... attended? Not anymore. Now, apparently, their comfort comes first. Remember this waitress in the sky who forced a woman off the plane because she wouldn't drug her fussy toddler? Now comes a story of Jet Blue attendant who consigned a passenger to the bathroom because she didn't care for her jump seat.

The Token Conservative At Colorado University
http://www.jim-rose.com/ 2008/ 05/ token-conservative-at-colorado.html

If you want to know what's happening on our college campuses (or if you will "campi") these days, this article on Colorado University is an excellent primer. The school, known for being very left-wing and employing the likes of Ward Churchill is thinking about endowing a chair that would be called
