Jewish life in Egypt closed down due to “security” reasons. For the first time in 2,000 years, there will be no Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services at the Eliyahu Hanavi Synagogue in Alexandria in 5773, reports Daniel Greenfield in “In The Point.” This was the last active synagogue in Egypt. The Egyptian authorities’ excuse for the shut-down, effectively outlawing High Holiday services in the country, were “security” reasons. Levana

My kindhearted attempt to help that poor dear Kathleen Parker, who can’t seem to find any blacks
Okay. Here’t goes. And I expect it will be controversial. But then, so what? I’ve already been booted from polite GOP company for denying the basic decency of Obama and his academic progressivism early on. What are they going to do next, strenuously not link me? Writes Ms Parker, in one of her typically strained columns: Republicans were certain that Obama was all style over substance, but their criticisms quickly

My second brief conversation with Barack Obama’s basketball
me: “You still mad at me?” Barack Obama’s basketball: “A little, yeah.” me: “Anything you want to clarify, walk back, that sort of thing?

GOP convention viewership down more than 40%. Mark Levin asks, why? What does it augur?
Let me answer semi-briefly: 1) The message seems managed and contrived. Lots of talk of liberty, inclusivity, growth — and yet at the same time, we’re told Obama is a nice guy who sold us hope and change but who hasn’t succeeded at giving us what he promised. Now, why they’re going with this message is obvious: it’s the, it’s okay, you maybe fucked up in ’08, but it’s not

What ‘contradiction’? [Darleen Click]
This is more JeffG’s bailiwick than mine, but even I understand this attempt at “gotcha” is full of crap Mitt Romney Speech Line Contradicts 2009 Claim He Wanted ‘Liberal Policies’, Obama ‘To Fail’ Despite saying he wishes “President Obama had succeeded, because I want America to succeed” in his GOP convention speech, Mitt Romney hasn’t always felt that way. Just after Obama was inaugurated, Romney explicitly said he wanted the

“DOJ Targeted Public Library for Lending E-Books ‘Inaccessible’ to the Blind”
I shit thee not. The U.S. Justice Department says it has reached a settlement with the Sacramento (California) Public Library over a trial program the library was conducting that let patrons borrow Barnes and Noble NOOK e-book readers.

My first brief conversation with Barack Obama’s basketball
me: “How do I put this so that it doesn’t come across as, you know — Barack Obama’s basketball: “– racist.” me: “Precisely. ‘Racist’ –” Barack Obama’s basketball: “I’m afraid you can’t.” me: “Say something that doesn’t come across as racist?” Barack Obama’s basketball: “Right.” me: “But you haven’t even heard what I was going to say yet.” Barack Obama’s basketball: “Doesn’t matter.
