It's very rare that I stand in 100% agreement (or any percent agreement) with something written by the NY Times editorial board.  But after yesterday's newly introduced sexting chronicles of Anthony Weiner - aka (allegedly) "Carlos Danger" - the board took to publishing a scathing...

Another in my ongoing posts from Israel: We previously covered the failed Palestinian attempt to get a French court to stop the Jerusalem light rail project which was being constructed in part by French contractors.  It's a part of the continuing lawfare against Israel. Commenter Vince suggested that I check out the light rail project, and bemoaned the fact that he had not yet been on it:
If you get a chance when you’re in Jerusalem take a ride on their light rail system.  It’s a relatively modern overhead line system with 23 stops that runs approximately 14 km long. I have all of the stops geocoded if you would like that? I’m a bit of a light rail buff.. my goal is to ride all of them!  Haven’t made it to Israel yet :(

Last week, Professor Jacobson wrote about "Rubio's biggest problem in 2016": I don’t mind a politician I disagree with on an issue half as much as I mind a politician I normally agree with getting played. While I may not share the Prof's indulgence of Rubio's horrific...

Today, I had the great pleasure to meet three of the Israeli bloggers we link to and write about, on my road to Jerusalem. We took the ride from Tel Aviv to Petah Tikva, one of the earliest Jewish towns, where we met Anne from ... (take a guess).  Anne lives on a nice, quiet street.
