Ezzie's Blog Roundup, 5/16

  • Indexed shows how most articles, and really any piece of opinion writing (think blogposts), begin.
  • Jack has a really adorable story from bedtime with his son - covering boys, girls, love, and all the good stuff.
  • An interesting collection of stories in the 5TJT of R' Henoch Leibowitz.
  • Sephardi Lady questions the odd budget of another letter writer.
  • Daled Amos notes Bush is being blasted for blasting appeasement. Pay attention to who is saying what here; kudos to Bush for speaking out.
  • Life-of-Rubin wonders where the outrage is when it's Jewish kids being attacked.
  • Via Batya, a great guest editorial in the New York Times by David Brooks today, taking Obama to task for his naivete.
  • The YU Vent crunches the numbers and wonders why YU charges more than double what they did just ten years ago, questioning what exactly they've added that is worth the increase.
  • MiI exposes another odd cult in Israel, this one in the Religious Zionist community. These things are really freaky.
Have a wonderful Shabbos!

    ??

    Brooks seems to come to exactly the opposite conclusion after talking to Obama.

    Unclear, really. He takes him to task at first, then asks him a lot of questions to clarify... but it doesn't explain the original remarks. Hadn't read the whole thing carefully, so poorly worded, sorry.

    Obama compared Hezbollah to Hamas. Both need to be compelled to understand that “they’re going down a blind alley with violence that weakens their legitimate claims.”

    Compelled, how? It's a lot of smoke and mirrors throughout.

    The post about the cult is terrifying. Sylvie gives me the chills.

    Brooks isn't a guest columnist for the Times; he was just writing on a different day of the week than usual. In general I think he is pretty pro-Obama, notwithstanding certain real reservations.
