A Gospel Choir Heresy
Aug 11
Have you ever seen something that just blew your mind? Something that made you say, "Hmmm, maybe we're worse off than I thought." Well, I had my moment just last week. While shopping at Wal-Mart I wandered into the CD section – looking for Air Supply's greatest hits, of course – and stumbled upon what I believe to be a great travesty.

U.S. President Barack Obama – a compatriot of Roosevelt and a fellow democrat, fired yet another outspoken warrior – General Stanley McChrystal, over disparaging remarks recently in a Rolling Stone magazine article. His comments were, at least, an indirect challenge to civilian management of the war in Washington by its top military commander. McChrystal’s firing was Obama’s second termination of a top ranking U.S. General in less than two years.
Gaza Prosperity Not Reported in West
May 27
Israel’s Foreign Ministry (MFA) has prepared a “counter-attack” to the flotilla of anti-Israel “humanitarian” ships scheduled to arrive in Gaza later this week: a detailed account and list of aid Israel provides Gaza.
