Quick hit: Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations was challenged on Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes" to simply admit or deny the assertion that he would like to see Israel removed from the map. Hooper averred, preferring to ask for "justice" for all people in the area.
Desperately in search of factoids department: I was watching a few minutes of CNN's "Crossfire" in between innings of the Padres/Expos game earlier this evening. The topic of discussion was former President Jimmy Carter's visit to Cuba. CNN was displaying various factoids across the bottom of the game ("Calvin Coolidge was the last U.S. president […]
One more reason not to buy Chinese products: If China's persecution of Christians, the Falun Gong and democratic activists wasn't enough. The communist country is actually working people to death.

I've been trying for months to get Glenn Reynolds' Instapundit to put me on his list of "Recommended sites" without success. So TAP is an acceptable second choice. […]
The Palestinian Authority's U.S. Representative, Hasan Abdel Rahman, is on CSPAN-2 right now speaking to the National Press Club. Seeing him in this forum, as opposed to being challenged by Bill O'Reilly or Alan Keyes, distresses me. He's fielding softball questions which refer to "Israeli spin."

If you haven't read it yet, go check out screenwriter Daniel Gordon's account of his recent trip to the Jenin refugee camp. Are the "liberal" media reflexively anti-Israel?

Global warming, global shwarming: A New York Times News Service story published in today's San Diego Union-Tribune reports that cooling in the Antarctic region is a result of the hole in the ozone layer.
