Alan Hart views an article published in the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, in which Gideon Levy castigates the Israeli “left” and “peace camp” for their “impossible adherence to Zionism”, for their complacency and for the unwillingness of their followers to take personal risk and show courage, which, he says, mean that Israel's left is “illusory” and its peace camp “an unborn baby”.

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says that Sen. Jim Bunning was "brave" for blocking an extension in unemployment benefits. DeLay subscribes to the notion that people only try to find jobs when their benefits run out. "There is an argument to be made that these extensions, the unemployment benefits, keep people from going and finding jobs," he told CNN's Candy Crowley Sunday.

In what can only be described in the most apocalyptic of terms, the mass gathering of owls this past week on the sacred burial site of the Cahokia pyramid builders clearly shows that one of the most important of the ancient signs signaling “mass death and destruction” has now been given to the people of the United States and is a “final warning” to them all that their preparations for survival should begin.

As I write this the earth is again shaking. The aftershocks of Chile's earthquake, which experts say was at least 600 to 800 times stronger than the one in Haiti, are almost impossible to count.

"Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid gleefully proclaims on the Senate floor.
