YaLibnanTV (websites www.yalibnan.com/ and www.iloubnan.info/-English) has this disturbing bit: If you would like to know if you are Phoenician and interested in knowing your lineage, then please visit The Genographic Projects’ website to contribute DNA… As an American mongrel with mixtures of English, German, Irish, Cherokee, Pawnee, and God-only-knows what else, when I read/hear about …

A three-day blitz to take out the entire Iranian military, and the Shiites in Iraq and Lebanon will silently/meekly watch from the sidelines? In that sick way that the President’s spin doctors think, bombing Iran back into the Stone Age is probably their last hope to make things look relatively better in Iraq and Afghanistan… …

Ms. Rice, Thank you. I just finished reading the paperback version of your novel [Christ the Lord – Out of Egypt]. I immediately detected a Catholic flavor to your tale, which is OK. I saw it in Mel Gibson’s movie as well. What I didn’t understand was the insertion of “Arabian” mercenaries on at least …

Thanks. Very interesting. Finally, a few Americans are starting to get a clue how dangerously wacky this premillennial stuff is. Kinda funny when it’s a bunch of hillbillies playing with snakes. Not so funny when it dictates foreign policy and kills hundreds of thousands and dispossesses millions more. Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 2:37 PM …

Some first impressions about http://www.debka.com/ — it seems to be a right-wing(ish?) Jewish version of the Drudge Report. Not surprising — I’ve been reading Haaretz for nearly 10 years and have observed that the entire country, as well as our own, is drifting in that direction. That, or I’m in a free-fall towards the left fringe of …
