With apologies to George Orwell…. Netanyahu at it again. 4 May, 2014. Tags: Democracy and minorities. Benjamin Netanyahu wants to redefine Israel as “the nation-state of one people only the Jewish people and of no other people” Here. What an interesting notion: anyone living in Israel who is not Jewish would be considered a minority.

With apologies to George Orwell…. Obomba opened his mouth once too often. 21 April, 2014. When our resident Bomber-in-chief told us that he ordered the drone strike that killed Anwar Al-Awlaki, he opened a unexpected constitutional door, something I’m sure he never intended. Luckily for us, a panel of judges ruled that after government officials had talked about the strike, there could no longer be any objection about releasing information requested by the ACLU and 2 reporters for the New York Times.
