Dear editor, There is a frenzy of flummery about Islam in this newspaper, on radio and television, and even from pulpits across America. I suspect most of it comes from people who never actually met a Muslim. We Americans used to be a people who challenged ignorance and prejudice, but perhaps that noble sentiment died …

Abracadabra
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 …

Arkansas stories
Note that the camera makes me look MUCH fatter than I really am! Two stories: At the DC reunion, we ran into Helen Thomas at Mama Ayesha’s. Good thing, because we had swilled too many Almazas and were hell-bent on brawling with the class of 77, if we could only find out where they …

Debka.com
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 …

Glenn Beck is a Nazi
Glenn Beck is a Nazi. That he is allowed to spew his hateful venom on CNN shows you how much the news industry has prostituted itself to corporate interests. Whether or not you wish to equate corporate interests with Jewish cabals and Zionist agendas is up to you. I will not ask whether you are …

Open letter to Mike Huckabee
I saw you on TV a few weeks ago (June 20 on MSNBC) when Joe Scarborough asked you what books you are reading. While it was refreshing to hear that you are reading, unlike the current president, I was very disappointed when you mentioned “Beyond Iraq” by Mike Evans. An excerpt from Publishers Weekly says …
