| If only he had considered becoming treasury secretary Posted: 09 May 2010 01:22 PM PDT I have no idea what motivated Faisal Shahzad to attempt a terror attack on Times Square, but the TaxProf observes that he may have had a huge tax bill due to walking away from his foreclosed upon home. (h/t Instapundit) If that was what motivated him, it's a shame he didn't consider becoming Secretary of the Treasury instead. It would have a less destructive way to deal with the tax problem.... |

| Posted: 09 May 2010 07:46 AM PDT Uganda Just Won't DoBy Max SaltzmanImagine for a moment that Israel was established in Uganda in 1948. Far from those who seek its destruction, Israel would grow and prosper. Resources would be diverted toward the sciences rather than defensive measures, and Israeli innovations would benefit the entire human race without ever being questioned. Israelis would walk the streets freely without fear and would sleep soundly through the night. And Yom Ha'Atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) would be celebrated in its full glory, without the sad preface of Yom HaZikaron (the Day of Remembrance) - there would be no need to cry... |
| First they came for sesame street, then the constitution ... Posted: 09 May 2010 05:03 AM PDT A year and a half ago I blogged in Adult Entertainment, that Sesame Street was apparently no longer appropriate for chidlren. As the New York Times reported then: Just don't bring the children. According to an earnest warning on Volumes 1 and 2, "Sesame Street: Old School" is adults-only: "These early 'Sesame Street' episodes are intended for grown-ups, and may not suit the needs of today's preschool child." Say what? At a recent all-ages home screening, a hush fell over the room. "What did they do to us?" asked one Gen-X mother of two, finally. The show rolled, and the... |
| Posted: 09 May 2010 02:26 AM PDT The Washington Post reports, "Israeli construction in East Jerusalem adds to difficulties facing negotiators": When the Obama administration launches indirect peace talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians, as early as this weekend, it faces a much more complicated landscape than the Clinton or Bush administrations did, especially in Jerusalem. In the decade since Israelis and Palestinians came close to a peace deal in 2000, the complexion of Jerusalem, perhaps the most sensitive of all the sticking points, has been altered. Israeli construction is blurring lines between Arab and Jewish neighborhoods, making any bid to share or divide the city... |
