7 Tishri 5767 * 29 September 2006: Ten Days of Repentance

Greetings.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Sheikh: All must convert to Islam” (And if you believe that’ll happen voluntarily, I’d like to sell you this bridge in New York City...)
  
• “The real reason that the IDF was unprepared”
  
• “Children Pay the Price for Lack of Safe Water and Sanitation”
  
• “China Attempted To Blind U.S. Satellites With Laser ”
  
• “Warning: Stone throwers will be shot on sight” (Anyone claiming throwing stones is harmless is invited to stand still while having cobblestones tossed at him/her.)
  
• “Lights out in Iceland for view of night sky” (This is cool! We ought to do this.)
  
• “Harry Reid on the Bill: “I strongly believe this legislation is unconstitutional””
  
• “Democracy in the Middle East (1992)”
  
• “Tokyo Rose Dies”

Today’s weird thing (submitted by Barry, who wants to save me a lot of effort) is “Death Star Firepower”. Yes, people wonder about the strangest things. Enjoy, Shabbath shalom, and share the weirdness.
