You would think that the German government would have learned from the mistakes of the past. You would think that the events of World War II would have shown them that racism isn’t a good thing. You would think that dislike of the Jews would have purged itself in the cataclysmic end of the Nazi regime. You would think so, but you would be wrong. German police in Duisburg and Düsseldorf, located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, prohibited residents... Read more

One of the most intriguing questions I’ve been asked in the last two days is why the American people will not speak out for the Palestinians. There they are like fish in a barrel and we are silent. I will not link to the blog where this was asked, I can’t promote the Anti-American slurs or the racist epithets directed at the Jews. I find it interesting that someone with such slogans everywhere would wonder to herself why I don’t... Read more

Yesterday, I began asking people in the Middle East why, in their opinions, weren’t other Arab countries coming to the aid of the Palestinians. More specifically, why they weren’t granting them sanctuary. I’ve learned a lot, and will keep asking this question as the answers are fascinating. Here’s what I know for sure after the last 24 hours: 1. Smart, honest people can all stand together and watch something happen and not one of them seems to know everything about... Read more

If these other Muslims in these other Middle Eastern countries are so concerned about the welfare of the Palestinians then why haven’t they given them citizenship and a safe place to go? If the Syrians... Read more

I’ve been listening with great skepticism to the details of President-Elect Obama’s Economic Stimulus Plan. At first, it was hard for me to get past the idea of 600,000 new government jobs. Yeah, because we need a bigger government. The thing about these 600,000 “temporary” jobs rebuilding the infrastructure of the country it that government jobs never go away. The Computer Guy worked for the government for 14 years, and never saw a temp job that really was in all... Read more

The first day back to school after Christmas vacation is the strongest argument ever seen for year-round schooling. It has been a morning of finding pencils and locating erasers, trying to remember where we left off and how to get up and dressed on time. In short, it has been a morning of a frustrated me trying very hard not to scream like a maniac at a teary-eyed them. Who thought of this whole “take some time off for Christmas... Read more
