Newspaper Customer Service Nightmare!

Posted 11-20-2019 at 06:14 PM by jbgusa

One of the newspapers I subscribe, The Times (won't be more specific) has a service that produces, in real-feel, newspapers going back to before the Civil War. The way it works is each page is replicated exactly as it was printed. Let's say you pull up the November 12, 1923 and see an article which interests you, "Incensed People Join in Demonstrations Hostile to Von Kahr" underneath the banner "Hitler Forces Rallying Near Munich...". So you click on the article, which...

Roosevelt and Carter Anti-Semitism

Posted 11-17-2019 at 06:49 PM by jbgusa
Updated 11-18-2019 at 05:07 PM by jbgusa

Carter wrote an anti-Semitic screed called Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. One of my work colleagues who knew my family back in the late 1960's more or less forced me to read it. The book starts out with a Middle East "timeline." The point of the timeline was that the Hebrews only possessed an independent kingdom for a minor period in Biblical times, and otherwise were under Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian or Greek control. Then he made some very unkind remarks about pre-1973 war...

Collective Government by Democratic Candidates - A Great Idea Whose Time Has Come

Posted 11-15-2019 at 05:58 PM by jbgusa

Far from being a "clown car" I have rarely have seen such a wealth of talent that in the Democratic primary debates. It is a pity all of them can't be elected, but sadly under the Constitution we have to pick one. Perhaps they could pledge that the winner will appoint the remaining candidates to Cabinet or Cabinet-rank positions. I wish their Presidential candidates could collectively govern the U.S. given the inspirational brilliance and coherence of their program. For example...

The Deer and the Dog, or the Futility of "Deals" With Iran and Hamas

Posted 09-20-2019 at 05:31 AM by jbgusa

The other morning I was out jogging at the crack of dawn. As I ran, I saw a deer look at me, and saunter away. That got me to thinking; we have "pooper-scooper" laws to ensure that I don't "step in it" when I am walking or jogging the streets. New York City led the way in 1978. But, do the deer dutifully pick up after themselves? They obey no law.

On a similar note, an Arizona Congressman told a similar parable. There was a zoo that feature a lion laying down...
