Post Ombudsman Thinks Dave Weigel is Stanley McChrystal
June 26, 2010The Washington Post ombudsman, Andrew Alexander, has an odd piece up about Dave Weigel’s resignation. I agree with one of Alexander’s assertions, more or less: “Weigel’s e-mails showed strikingly poor judgment and revealed a bias that only underscored existing complaints from conservatives that he couldn’t impartially cover them.” More or less because it isn’t entirely [...]

An Unhappy Day At The Washington Post
June 26, 2010But also sort of a happy day at The Washington Post, for the dwindling band of writers and editors there who value such old-fashioned traits as temperance in the expression of personal views; forthrightness; and fairness. The liberal blogger Dave Weigel, who was hired by The Post to cover the conservative movement, has resigned, after [...]

We havent heard from Sholom Rubashkin for awhile
June 23, 2010… and we likely won’t for around 27 years. On June 21, Sholom Rubashkin, former head of the Agriprocessors slaughterhouse in Postville, IA, was sentenced to 27 years in prison for 86 counts of fraud. According to the Huffington Post, prosecutors chose to not pursue the immigration charges (regarding the no less than [...]

Is Newsweek Starved for Resources? (UPDATED)
May 6, 2010Ira Stoll makes an astute observation about Newsweek’s not-quite-yet demise:An Associated Press dispatch on the Washington Post Company putting Newsweek up for sale paraphrases the chairman of the Washington Post Co., Donald Graham, as saying, that he “hopes a buyer with more resources will be able to get the magazine back to profitability.” More resources?

Dershowitz Climate of Incitement: Pro-Israel Hooligans Vandalize Michael Lerners Home
May 4, 2010It is absolutely no accident that Alan Dershowitz singled Rabbi Michael Lerner out for special opprobrium in his most recent Jerusalem Post and Huffington Post columns and that local Bay Area Jewish pogromists decided shortly thereafter to “party” at Lerner’s home. They defaced it with the slogans and themes they could’ve learned at Dersh’s knee: [...]

He has now written a rebuttal. This is a long post because I incorporate his post. Of [...]

Obama sends Passover greeting as his administration stabs a Jewish member in the back
March 30, 2010Normally, I would not be posting on the night of the first Seder. We had a nice one with our entire family, and it was special in many ways. Then I got home and read the news and felt I had to post something. Here is the story in a nutshell. Laura Rozen published a [...]

An Official Response to Goldstone
March 15, 2010It’s about time, no? The Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, (the “Malam”), headed by Colonel (Res). Reuven Erlich, has released a 500 page report refuting the Goldstone Report. In a summary published in the Jerusalem Post, the report is described to mostly focus on Hamas’ activities during Operation Cast Lead, including its use of [...]

Health Care Goes Postal
March 3, 2010Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the Constitution explicitly empowers Congress “to Establish Post Offices and post Roads.” I’m glad the Founding Fathers are not around today to see how the government they created has made a mess of everything it touched, including the Postal Service. According to today’s “Washington Post,” the Postal Service [...]

What to Do with Obscene E-Mails
February 17, 2010I say, post them. Sometimes. Jeff Weintraub explains why he doesn’t want to activate a comments section on his blog. He cites some of the crazier stuff I find in my in-box as proof of the uselessness of openness, and writes, “I suspect that Goldberg isn’t sharing the more demented, illiterate, and morally obscene kinds [...]

The Beat Goes On: Dershowitz Slanders Me in Jerusalem Post Too, Ghouls Rejoice
January 31, 2010Recently, I wrote that Alan Dershowitz had published a Huffington Post blog in which he named and quoted from my blog post, The Zionization of Disaster Relief, about Israel’s PR extravaganza in Haiti. Instead of attributing the blog post to me, the author, and linking to this blog, instead he wrote the following: The neo-Nazi [...]

UK Christian Zionists: Hitler Hearts Sizer
January 29, 2010CORRECTION: Joseph Weissman and his choir note that I made an error in this post. In his deceased Blogspot blog, he links to the post below under the heading “Bastions of Truth,” which I mistakenly thought was also written by him. Apparently, this blog is independent of Weissman and yet another part of the vast [...]
