Jet lag finally caught up with us. Three days of running on adrenaline stopped cold. But the day was not lost. I had a chance to spend some time with reader Israel Pickholtz, better known as Jerusalem Genealogist. I didn't recognize him without his beard.

America has been so generally fortunate that we have forgotten what we should have known, and neglected to teach it to our children. It's like a population that's not been exposed to certain illnesses and is therefore less able to defend against them. Too many of...

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 :(
I can't make your wish come true, Vince, so here's the best I can do: [caption id="attachment_59896" align="alignnone" width="512"]Jerusalem Light Rail (Jerusalem Light Rail)[/caption] I also had the pleasure of meeting the famous Carl in Jerusalem, of Israel Matzav, with whom my wife and I shared a (soft) drink around noon today: [caption id="attachment_59892" align="alignnone" width="491"]William A.

In the aftermath of the Zimmerman trial we see outrage and protest among those who think Zimmerman is guilty of something or other, even if the criminal justice system couldn't quite put its finger on it. "He racially profiled Trayvon"---although there's no evidence whatsoever of racial...
