Kesher Talk

More war-related news. I'm pouring most of the really hot items into The Command Post. These are juicy tidbits with more shelf life:

A British newspaper enacts a large-scale editorial comment on the French.

I've been living in NY about a year, I have family here, I like it for many things. But as a born and raised Texan and proud former resident of zipcode 78704 I have a problem with this sign from the NYC antiwar march.

(I have noticed an interesting generational divide. People under 35, I tell them I'm from Austin and they think that's cool. Dell Computers, great music, hip town, a lot of them have been there, have friends there. People over 35: Um, Austin's the state capital, right? right-wing blah blah Bush blah blah gun nuts blah blah is it safe for Jews there? blah blah.)

Meryl notes another little souvenir from the march, and follows it with the rant I would write if she didn't already do it and do it better than me. (But Meryl, you forgot to add the Ten Commandments and the Torah, which at least two other religions thought highly enough of to borrow huge chunks.)

Dean Esmay has an interview with an Iraqi expatriate who once served in Saddam's military. As the interview was taking place, word flashed on CNN that citizens of his home town Basra were rising up against Saddam's troops.
