First, a confession … when I initially heard about “Balloon Boy” I told a friend over lunch, “The kid was probably murdered by his parents.

The First Step: Israel Into The Dock

This could be the start of a real diplomatic revolution...

(JACKSON, Miss.) - The UN Human Rights Council (HRC) Resolution based on the Goldstone Report is a damning condemnation of Israel. The original meaning of being "caught red-handed" was literally being "caught bloody-handed," with the victim's blood on one's own hands.

(NEW HAVEN, Ct.) - My mother says I should have worn long sleeves for the Palestinian olive trees sometimes do not want to part with their fruits without a bit of resistance.

Please help us put an end to this misguided, slanderous criminal who is attempting to deface our five years of hard work. We will prevail and the sooner the better.
