Recall Against WI Dem Robert Wirch Certified

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 20, 2011 4 Comments

I previously reported on the Recall Wirch efforts in Wisconsin, directed against Democratic State Senator Robert Wirch.

Why Now, Why Israel?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 20, 2011 28 Comments

Why yesterday for Obama to unload the demand that Israel withdraw to the pre-1967 borders, with some negotiated land swaps? Contrary to what some are claiming, this is a new formulation. Under the Obama formulation, Israel has a land mass fixed by the 1949 armistice lines,...

Obama – Israel must withdraw to 1967 borders with land swaps

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 19, 2011 38 Comments

Israel's pre-1967 borders had no geographical or military logic. Those borders simply were the armistice lines after the Arabs failed to drive the Jews into the sea.The border is not defensible, as it leaves the middle of Israel only about 10 miles wide. One of the reasons...

So Tell Me About Michele Bachmann

Posted by William A. Jacobson on May 18, 2011 31 Comments

I like Michele Bachmann. I also "liked" her Facebook page, which is surging in popularity.Bachmann is fearless. Bachmann is target no. 2 for the MSM, the entertainment industry, and left-blogosphere, which mock her as stupid, much as they mock Sarah Palin. To them, what we need is someone like our brilliant President who plays golf, shoots hoops,...
