She Just Lied, simple as that

An Atheist Jew goes undercover in Evangelist Church

Their initial reaction was shock, of course. They were understandably wounded. I hadn't known this, but they thought something terrible had happened to me. So to find out that not only was I doing just fine, but also that I'd had this agency, that I'd done something to them, that I'd been secretly recording the events of their lives and that I'd stolen them for use in this book -- I think that was deeply disturbing news. Worse, not only had I lied about being a Christian, but I was an atheist, someone who -- from their perspective -- had no moral center at all. I've tried to understand what it must have felt like to assimilate that news, but it's something I'll never fully be able to imagine.

Save the Whales, a typical activist quote:

During the October restaurant visit, animal rights activist Crystal Galbraith, 27, and a friend who spoke fluent Japanese racked up a bill of $600, feasting on increasingly exotic dishes to gain the confidence of the waiters and chef.

"It was heartbreaking to eat an endangered animal, but I knew that I was doing it to save" the whales, said Galbraith, a vegan. "We were there eating for four hours. I felt so full and sick."

A Kennedy that gives a speech like an Arab leader would, watch

Sad, but I think I agree with his take on the media and how it's all about sensations and scandals and not where the bodies are buried.

Violence Begets Violence, here is a story about war zone cops who served in Iraq and Afghanistan...they are more prone to using violence than the copes who have not gone to War. Read It sure sucks to be an Iraqi

"In Iraq, if a bad buy gets away, he could come back and blow you up or blow up someone who works with you," Williamson told the AP. "You do everything you can to make sure the bad guy doesn't get away. ... I can't absolve myself of Iraq. How deeply it affected me, I don't know ... I'm not the same person who left."

Israeli Settlements & American Foreclosures

Israel wants to build 1600 new settlements in East Jerusalem, they made the announcement as Vice President Biden was paying them a visit--to further embarrass the States and its role in the already dead peace process. Here is the story as reported today

The Arab leaders won't do anything, they will condemn and yell and then quickly forget about it. The Palestinian president does not have much leverage and he has to smile look at his script and say about those settlements "will harm the peace process" acting as if there is a peace process, only fooling himself and only himself.

The current Israel government is not much different than the previous ones, they are only bolder. as all Israeli governments do the same thing grab further Palestinian land. This government however, brags about it, the others would do it quietly.

Can we dissolve the Palestinian Authority already? It's not helping anybody and it is only giving the Israeli government a legitimacy. Yes, many people will lost their salaries and the boraz will hit the fan. I am frankly tired of this Israeli government and their practices.

Also, if the Israelis are hurting for homes and they must build homes...I know in many US towns would love to sell them homes for less. In Detroit for example, you can buy a home for 50 thousand dollars. Plus, most of those settlers are American citizens anyway.

What else does Israel want for the Palestinians? While Israelis continue to assassinate Palestinians violence is non existence, no one if doing Israel harm, no one is blowing up buses or pizzerias anymore.

What do we get for that?The shaft

Roa Takes a Bite of the Big Apple

So Roa liked the Big Apple, she loved the city, the lifestyles and the lights. She is promising to visit the city and indulge in more of what the city has to offer...for seem reason New York seemed a lot nicer than ever before...

I have always loved the city, and I now know it is the greatest city in the World...the diversity, the food and the energy this city has is unmatched.

We did catch a show in Broadway, NEWSical, walked in the harbor, Central Park, Time Squares, 99 cent pizzas, Pretzels, Papaya Dogs, Nuts4Nuts, and Junior's Cheese cake. And we walked a lot and shopped more. Roa liked the hats in the city, we ended up buying three hats from this Senegalese lady...she was nice and quite charming.

the show was entertaining, of course you cannot see a musical about the news without having them make fun of Arabs and Muslims. But overall it was a pleasant show in an intimate setting.

Some Asian street artists scammed us into drawing us in cartons. What was a five bucks job, ended up being 25 dollars, he wanted 35. That's not the problem, the tragedy he did not draw me in the picture, he drew what looks like his man crush, the Senegalese lady concurred with us.

A Wise Man

From a nice article on the internet by Michael Lewis, read here

I don’t tweet, I don’t Twitter, I couldn’t even tell you how to read or where to find a Twitter message. I don’t actually see the point of limiting communication to a haiku. I find the whole effusion of communications technology bewildering. All you have to do is overhear a certain number of cell phone conversations to see that the vast majority of what people say and write to each other is totally pointless. I have an email address and I’m thinking of shutting that down. It’s amazing how overly accessible people are. There’s a lot of communication in my life that’s not enriching, it’s impoverishing. I really do like consuming news on the web, though. That has been a useful addition to my life, especially financial news.

You Fly For Us

I walked in U street with Roa and it was a nice walk, the weather was nice too. When we got home, there was plenty of airplanes activities in the Columbia Heights area, at least three different flying objects. Roa who just came from Gaza still things that flying objects are a scary thing to fear as they never mean anything good when the appear on the skyline of Gaza. I thought this was true as I remember there is constant flying activities over Gaza drones is 24/7 as well as other flying thingies. I reminded Roa that those flying things here are on our side...not against us. she knew that, but you know it is hard to unlearn the things that give you fear.
