Not much posting lately - I was at a business conference in Miami for a few days. Don't be jealous though, I spent most of my time in a windowless, freezing ballroom. Then this morning I took the NASD Series 24 exam which I passed, thank G-d. Now I am formally licensed to spy on other people's e-mails. As, I've told zarq, blame it on Eliot Spitzer.

Does the accidental rise of a Jewish deputy mayor to the mayoralty of Buenos Aires make Argentina a paradise for Jews? The Jewish Journal of Los Angeles seems to think so.

Situation Improves for Argentine Jews


Cynthia McKinney has a boulder, not a chip, on her shoulder.

McKinney Faces Arrest for Scuffle

A lawyer for Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the Georgia congresswoman who had an altercation with a Capitol Police officer, says she was "just a victim of being in Congress while black."

"Unfortunately, the Police Officer did not recognize me as a Member of Congress and a confrontation ensued," the statement read.

I understand that as an African-American, Ms. McKinney gets unfairly "profiled" and that has to be a terrible exeperience when you're out and about. But when you are in your workplace, and that workplace is supposed to be one of the most guarded places in the world, there's no reason to beat on a policeman if he stops you for not having proper identification.


Don't forget to "spring ahead" this Sun AM.


It used to be that the Left used the number of U.S. military deaths to show that the we were losing the war in Iraq and that the war is unwinnable. Now that March 2006 had the second lowest death rate of the 37 months of the war (slightly fewer than 1 per day), and the last quarter was the least deadly in two years, are we winning? Have we made a turnaround? Nope. Does anyone have any idea of how many insurgents/soldiers/terrorists we have killed? I thought not. Condaleeza Rice admitted to "thousands" of tactical mistakes having been made during the course of the war. I'm sure some people will take this to mean that this war is much different than any other extended war, but I'm not really sure that's the case.

In WWII, on D-Day, the Allies landed around 156,000 troops in Normandy. That's about the number of soldiers that are in Iraq now. On that same day, 2,500 allied soldiers were estimated to have been killed. That's more losses in one day than in the entire Iraq campaign of over three years. And our population was half of what it is now. Oh, and our soliders are still in Europe 60 years later. A little perspective people before we start declaring military disaster.
