Treppenwitz: I think I need to sit down...
In among the usual flotsam and jetsam in my inbox this morning was a newsletter from my alma mater's alumni association with all kinds of chatty news about my former classmates. There were promotions, births, job changes, marriages of children, you name ...

Treppenwitz: I feel like a need a shower
The following is a video of a bogus casting call for babies and young children that was set up in order to demonstrate just how low some parents will sink in order to pimp their kids.IMHO they should make it mandatory for social workers and Child Protecti...

Treppenwitz: The cooler the better, I say!
Most people get a bit blue when Fall weather arrives and starts hinting at the Winter to come. They miss the warm sunshine and long days and resent the constricting clothing that the lower temperatures demand.
I'm the opposite. I hate hot weather. I l...

Treppenwitz: Trying to repair a legacy fit for late night comics
I don't think anyone would accuse former President Bill Clinton of being stupid. In fact, he is probably one of the brighter people to have occupied the Oval Office in decades. However, smarts doesn't exempt one from indulging in fallacious arguments......

Treppenwitz: A tall order
I like Ed Koch. The former Mayor of New York is a bright man who can usually be counted upon to speak to the issues rather than along partisan lines. So I was especially pleased to see him weigh in on the Ft. Hood shooting... calling it an act of terror...

Treppenwitz: Calling bullsh*t on a shameful double standard
It never ceases to amaze me how the ultra-left moonbats of the Peace Now camp can keep a straight face while making pronouncements such as the following:
"Rightist elements are making a lofty effort to divide the IDF, and turn the Shimson Battalion int...

Treppenwitz: uncomfortable with shuffle
Not much to add to the online noise today... except to mention that I am annoyed with one noisy aspect of my own personal soundtrack.
The idea of having a 'shuffle' setting on my little iPod is neat, and often useful. After all, even though I let the co...

Treppenwitz: Is it just me...
... or does anyone else find it odd that pretty much all the news coverage of the bloody shooting spree at Fort Hood has buried the fact that the shooter was a lifelong practicing Muslim well down in the article (if it is mentioned at all)?I
ask because ...

Treppenwitz: The racism they have forced upon us
I was standing at the entrance to Kiryat Arba waiting for the bus that would take me to Beer Sheva (Zahava had the car), when a late model SUV pulled up and let off a 20-something woman at the bus stop.
The woman was dressed in loose slacks, a pretty blo...

Treppenwitz: 'Tis the Saison
'The Saison', (or hunting season) was a dark period in Israeli/Jewish history that officially began in November 1944 after members of the Lehi (Stern Gang) assassinated Lord Moyne, the British Minister of State in the region.
Tensions between the three a...

Treppenwitz: Good music at a price you can't refuse
I had a bit of a rant on this morning, and on the advice of my lovely wife I have decided to let it 'age' for another day or so to see if I can't tone it down enough for public consumption.
In the mean time, I've been meaning to mention that Lenny Solomo...

Treppenwitz: The stuff of nightmares - Part II
[Note: If you didn't read yesterday's post carefully, today's post will make absolutely no sense.]
Where were we? Ah yes...
Suddenly a blinding red alarm explodes in my head and I realize what must have happened. My hand goes into my left front pan...

Treppenwitz: The stuff of nightmares
I rarely share dreams here... not because I'm such a private person, but rather because I rarely remember them after waking. But every few years I have a recurring nightmare which is incredibly realistic, probably because it is a faithful replay of an ev...

Treppenwitz: So that's what they're after!
For weeks now analysts and political pundits have been watching Turkey (the moderate Muslim country] throw the equivalent of a temper tantrum, and have been trying to figure out what it is the Turks want.
It began with Turkey - a full member of NATO - ni...

Treppenwitz: Disposable DVD Players
Is it just my bad luck or have DVD players gotten so mind-bogglingly crappy that you basically use them for a few months and them throw them away when they stop working?
Granted, we live in a dusty area. But I use a lens/laser cleaning kit religiously.
