Bad Rachel: Thank You
http://badrachel.blogspot.com/2012/05/thank-you.html
Sunday, May 13, 2012. To my grandmothers of blessed memory, for their bounteous affection, their great good humor, their amused patience—and their baking. To my mother, for her deep love and wisdom, the comfort of her embrace, her wicked wit—and for making motherhood and womanhood look so easy. To my sisters, for their friendship incomparable, every shared secret (and tear), the delights of their splendid progeny—and all the laughing. To my mother-in-law of blessed memory, for.

Saturday, September 29, 2012. On Guns and Religion and Othering the Other. Here’s how it was, in his own felicitous words. Back in the bad old days of America, before Barack Obama was elected president: “[I]n a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long, and they feel so betrayed by government . . . . But there was a little piece of heaven hovering like a pakalolo-scented. 8220; tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights ...

Wednesday, September 12, 2012. The Arab Spring in Fall: Blood in the Streets. 8220;There is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence—none,” says Barack Obama, speaking of the slaughter last night of the American ambassador to Libya and three of his colleagues in the streets of Benghazi. And, he adds, “. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done. The enemy”—when “.

Bad Rachel: April 2012
http://badrachel.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2012. Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not,/And upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy name./For they have devoured Jacob,/And laid waste his habitation. Pour out Thine indignation upon them,/And let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them./Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them/From under the heavens of the Lord. (Passover Haggadah, Glatzer edition). S something for us Jews to remember, as we. Does the violence offend you? The chosenness horrify you?

http://badrachel.blogspot.com/2012/04/agony-under-cedars.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. Agony Under the Cedars. 8220;They become pariahs.”. This is where Bad Rachel came in. And this is where I have begun to wonder whether it is possible to help these benighted forgeries of humanity save themselves from themselves—for after all, isn’t that the point, once we’ve beaten our enemy, of continuing the fight? April 5, 2012 at 11:08 AM. Well So much we dont know about situations before we get involved. Amazing anything gets done really right. Elliott Abrams: Pressure Points.

Bad Rachel: February 2013
http://badrachel.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 15, 2013. A pair of Lebanese journalists from opposing sides of the Lebanon/Hizballah divide, on set recently at Hizballah’s Al Manar TV for a chat about Syria, lost control of themselves. This would be very amusing—a pox on all your houses, whatever your dates—if the apparition of our new secretary of state, John Kerry, weren’t hovering over the proceedings, and any others involving the Middle East—in particular Syria, and what to do about his dear. S secretary of state, and he.

Wednesday, November 7, 2012. On That 70 Percent of the Jewish Vote. I’d like to congratulate my co-religionists on yet another job well-done.
