One could argue that because the Jews were dispersed throughout the world, they came in contact with many cultures and were thus able to take the best ideas of each nation and use them to their advantage.

Notwithstanding the general Japanese lack of knowledge of Jewish traditions, those who do become acquainted with Jewish culture find that they share many common values, especially regarding honor and family. This helps explain the popularity of Fiddler on the Roof in Japan.

In response to my article, a reader left the following comment: "Different sects Christianity does not even considers their other sects as Christian, they don't share similar Book, Similar God, Theology... As for Islam, We have one God, One Book, One Pilgrimage Gathering Area, One direction, Five Times a Day prayers...."

Here's my take on the matter. If Saudi Arabia ever allows Christian Churches or Jewish Temples to be built on Arabian sands, then I will be the first to ask the Swiss to overturn the ban on the construction of minarets; otherwise, it's only fair.

I call Charles Krauthammer an idiot despite the fact that I admire his intelligence and political acumen, but he is a useful idiot for Islam. For those who may not know, Krauthammer is a Fox News contributor and a regular panelist on some of Fox’s evening news programs. So here's the problem: Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud, the nephew of the Saudi Arabian King Abdullah, is Fox News’ Fourth Largest Investor and a supporter of Islamic terror.

In the tens of thousands of years our species has been on this Earth, there has always been one rule that governed the orderly distribution of community resources: the lead hunter got first dibs not only on the choicest morsels from the hunt but on everything from the warmest part of the cave to the most succulent of the womenfolk.

For a long time I believed that Muslims were the masters on dissembling the evil of their religion and that no one could approach them. But now I discover that a German company is a close second in the fine art of deception.

I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he’s led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some group took a look at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.

It never fails: whenever I'm in a hurry some moron and his wife will stand two abreast on the escalator as if nature stopped making humans after they were born. And if I'm unlucky enough, I'll find myself too far back in the line to let these pieces of crap know they are constipating the pipe.

NJ may soon require police officers to check a box describing the type of distraction that led to an accident or summons. On the list: hair grooming, eating, changing the radio, reading, attending to a pet or using a fax machine.

We'll hear from people like Bruce Tower. Tower has prostate cancer. He wanted to take a drug that showed promise against his cancer, but the Food and Drug Administration would not allow it. One bureaucrat told him the government was protecting him from dangerous side effects. Tower's outraged response was: "Side effects -- who cares? Every treatment I've had I've suffered from side effects. If I'm terminal, it should be my option to endure any side effects."

They say there are more mentally ill people walking the streets of New York than any other city in the country. I am excluding for the moment Democrats who I consider high functioning retarded. I have read that women have an even higher rate of mental health problems than men.

The 2010 Geneva International Motor Show opened to the news media yesterday. Most Chinese automakers skipped the auto show here, but BYD Auto promised to be in Geneva for many more years to come. BYD has such exemplary electric-vehicle battery technology that Warren Buffet has invested a quarter of a billion dollars in the company.

Whenever I see a list of the supposedly most beautiful celebrities, I am disappointed if talent, grace and charm are not also considered in addition to beauty. So I was not disappointed to note that the Chicago Tribune did not overlook those qualities when they selected Scarlett Johansson as their number one choice.

While Vestian fragments rich in orthopyroxene hurdle through space, while new stars burst into existence from foaming matter, while galaxies collide and remake their shapes, among all this tumult, I was peacefully standing in front of my son and his beloved.

The Republicans should take up the banner - point out that this country was founded on saying NO to bad ideas. NO to Taxation without representation, NO to the stamp act, NO to the King, NO to tyranny, NO to subjugation.

At the top of this article is a typical American jury. Usually they are bored, asleep, inattentive and apathetic to most cases at bar. Nobel prize winners, rocket scientists, mensa members are rarely found in jury pools. If the Saint Paul jury was anything like that in northern New Jersey, it most likely had a few blacks on it; in fact Saint Paul has a higher proportion of African-Americans to whites than the US average.

Blogger David Zincavage has the right advice for Republicans: that they could count on more Hispanic votes if only they would stop with the ridiculous anti-immigration rhetoric.

People in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania have a warped sense of humor. It must be something in the coal-infused water.
