If a deficit falls in a budget report, does anyone hear it?  From BizzyBlog.

The federal budget deficit, already down almost 50% from a few years ago, is down another 50% through the first four months of this year compared to 2006.

Jennifer Rubin, a freelance writer for ABCNews uses the Mitt Romney flap I posted about earlier to pontificate about Why So Few Jews Vote  for Republicans.  I do give her credit for writing that, " It is doubtful either of these groups (the NJDC or RJC) believe Romney is really an anti-Semite."   However, she does write that Romney's probable excuse is that he is oblivious to Jewish concerns. She then goes on to assume that Romney just must not have Jewish advisors, which is easily debunked based on my last post regarding Romney's recent trip to Israel with Jewish supporters and campaign staff. 

She then writes that if they were better informed, they would have said to themselves, "You know, a lot of Jews really hate Ford, and it might mess up your message. Let's try Edison's lab to make a point about American innovation."

Miss Rubin might be interested to know that Neil Baldwin, author of Henry Ford and the Jews: The Mass Production of Hate writes that Edison was at best, "a passive anti-Semite".  Maybe if she would have googled "Edison" and "anti-semitic", she could have found this out pretty easily, as well as a number of other sources that raise concerns about Edison's attitude towards Jews.  Then again, Ms. Rubin, like the Democrats, must know all there is to know about Jewish issues.

More Global....Cooling?  Just got my electric bill from January.  I live in north Texas.  The average temperature in January 2007 was 19 degrees colder than in January 2006.  Tomorrow's high is 36.  Thursday it will be 38.  I wonder how it's going in NYC?  If you look at these pictures, you'd think the melting polar ice caps have just relocated.
