Wabbling Back To The Fire

    Thanks for that link Malcolm. Came upon Eric Hoffer’s thoughts on Israel googling (submitted by Michael Ledeen in National Review 2006).:

    Ignorance of history is temporary bliss.

    Seeing Uncle Joe where he ain’t is also a problem.

    Of course, maybe we’re looking in the wrong place.
