I hope Andrew Cuomo’s letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee is more than kissing up to New York Jews. He does state plainly that Arafat “has taken the side of the terrorists who kill innocent civilians in the pursuit of their cause.”

Madison, WI: in the same government school system where the school board stopped students from saying the Pledge of Allegance, a 12-year old has been suspended for bringing a knife to school. Was straight-A student, Christian Schmidt, planning on slicing his teacher or going after some students who were picking on him? Was […]
At the state capitol, everyone has a way to balance the state budget. Gov. McCallum wants to stop sending state money to city and county governments. Republicans controlling the State Assembly want to cut state government and the state university budget. Democrats controlling the State Senate want to balance the budget on […]
Charles Paul Freund takes a crack at porn broadcast on Palestinian television:
Finally, many Israeli critics consider the “normal” programming of Palestinian Authority media to be morally objectionable in its own right. They regard it as a platform for anti-semitic extremism, an encouragement to suicide-bomber “martyrdom,” and an outlet for those advocating the annihilation of […]
Get on board and shout with a loud voice that Yasser Arafat is underserving of a Nobel Peace Prize.

UPDATE: The Nobel committee is upset that Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres is a part of the Israeli government. “Peres is responsible, as part of the government. He has expressed his agreement with what [Israeli […]
Arafat has a golden opportunity to strike back at terrorism and reach out to Israel. Hamas is proud of the fact that they’ve been killing Israeli civillians and forced their military to strike back hard. The terrorist group is now aligning itself closer to Arafat’s Fatah. Joel Brinkley writes,
Mr. Arafat “is Palestinian […]
Brock Yates has some questions about Americans and their SUVs:
Is it possible that the American public makes wiser decisions in these matters than the magnificios who monitor our lives?
Is it possible that people purchase SUV’s because they are functional, not because the buyers are witless status slaves?
Is it possible that women purchase then […]
Arnold Kling analyzes environmentalists’ economics through Bjorn Lomborg’s The Skeptical Environmentalist According to Kling, the environmental movement ignores technological innovation and price adjustments to scarce resources; ignores the fact that any decision involves trade-offs; and refuses to discount future costs and benefits.
As for Lomborg, Kling writes:

While playing around with Teoma, I came upon these quotes by Thomas Jefferson relating to the “American mind”:
“I join [with others] in branding as cowardly the idea that the human mind is incapable of further advance. This is precisely the doctrine which the present despots of the earth are inculcating and their friends here re-echoing […]
If Bill Kristol would let me, I would add my name to his letter to President Bush. My feelings coincide with this passage:
Mr. President, it can no longer be the policy of the United States to urge, much less to pressure, Israel to continue negotiating with Arafat, any more than we would be willing […]
For all the abuse Israel is taking in the international community (British Minister for Europe Peter Hain called it “senseless hostility”), there have been no suicide bombers in the past few days. This operation is working at stopping the terrorists. What the end game is no one really knows. Sharon wants Arafat […]
Families of Palestinian suicide bombers are being paid by Saddam Hussein. Blow yourself up and kill a bunch of Israelis and your family can pocket $25,000. That’s way up from the measly $4,000 our “friends” the Saudis were paying.

Ariel Sharon has shown his hand. Israeli troops are doing their version of Operation Enduring Freedom, while at the same time he wants to force Arafat into exile. The Palestinian leader is free to leave his Ramallah headquarters. It’s just that he could never go back.
Arafat doesn’t want to leave. He would […]
