Monday, November 24, 2003. Thank goodness for the "word of the day" I get sent to me each day. It's a service through www.yourdictionary.com. I don't know where I'd be without getting the skinny on today's word: Bling Bling. Definition 1: (Slang) A self-consciously over-the-top and expensive style, originally in jewelry, but also in clothes, cars and general life-style. Posted by Hillary at 10:59 PM. Friday, November 21, 2003. Reaction in Baghdad to yesterday's anti war protests in London. There is somet...

Thursday, August 21, 2003. Is this a joke? Apparently Hamas declared today that the cease-fire is dead. Because of an Israeli missile strike against one of their top leaders. Nevermind that it was in response to Tuesday's bus bombing that killed 20 innocent people, and injured 128 others. Hamas vowed to avenge Abu Shanab's death and another senior Hamas spokesman said the missile attack freed the group from its commitment to observing the unilateral truce with Israel.

Kerry and the Democrats shouldn't be concerned with bin Laden's foray into the election, because if anything, it reminds voters that on Bush's biggest strong point, he's all talk and no results. But I doubt it will have even this effect. The voters are set. From here on in, it's turnout, turnout, turnout. Posted by Shaun at 10:06:00 AM.

After writing a few non-political pieces, new NYT columnist. Has finally decided to end his honeymoon and weigh in with a pair of lousy pieces on social security privatization. Its finances is yet to be solved. Even President Bush speaks of private accounts and solvency as separate issues. But I'd like to point out the...

hillbill: June 2003

http://hillbill.blogspot.com/2003_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 27, 2003. I tried to go one day where I would write about something having nothing to do with Israel, the Palestinians, or the entire Middle East. But thenI read Not a Fish. Back to the ISM. So they seem good at a quick (and I mean. Sums it all up. Here’re a few excerpts (but don’t stop here,. Read the whole post. Those who read what the ISM has to say about Israeli Arabs, for instance, wouldn't realize that Israeli Arabs are voting citizens with full citizen rights. I had dinner at Jane's.

Tuesday, August 31, 2004. Israel's first Olympic Gold Metal. On a more positive note, last week Gal Friedman won Israel's first Olympic gold metal. I really wish I could've been watching when the Israeli flag was raised, and the Hatikva (Israel national anthem) played before the whole world. Unfortunately I missed this momentous event, as I was off rafting the Grand Canyon (more on that and pictures later). From the NY Times. Few could have envisioned one like this. As well as a big group of French party...

Monday, April 18, 2005. Is true, we could be seeing a revolution in our knowledge of classical literature and civilization within a couple of years. Now, in a breakthrough described as the classical equivalent of finding the holy grail, Oxford University scientists have employed infra-red technology to open up the hoard, known as the Oxyrhynchus Papyri, and with it the prospect that hundreds of lost Greek comedies, tragedies and epic poems will soon be revealed.
