Last Tuesday of 2008

Tuesday, 30 December 2008.

I did revision in the Central Brooklyn Library today. It is really a spectacularly large library. 25 minute walk from my apartment or jump on the 2 or 3 train to Grand Army Plaza or Eastern Parkway - Brooklyn Museum stations. 

I learned that last Sunday, 28 December 2008 was the last Sunday that the library will be open on Sundays. What a shame. 

It is another example of all good things come to an end, I guess fitting to end it at the close of the year.

I also read that the final minute of 2008 will last 61 seconds. So make the most of the extras.

Less than 48 hours from 09. 

Crush Hamas and brave the backlash

The article, with the link provided below is a read well worthwhile. Michael Oren clearly and succinctly explains what Israel is doing right and what the world ought to know.

Today's annoyances

3 things really annoyed me today.

1) People who have condemned the defensive incursion in Gaza. This is self defense in the clearest of forms.

2) Civil libertarian whingeing do-gooders who are destroying any chance of peace worldwide.

3) A journalist who mouthed off concerning the soon to be ex president of the USA. The only reason she holds such a position is because of her colour. Another example of affirmative action gone horribly wrong.

So we pray, because we can.

We will defend, because we must.

We have hope, because we are the Chosen.

The sleeping innocent Lion

A friend told me....

Good advice : Never poke , prod or torment a sleeping Lion.... For eventually it will rudely awake and savagely pounce on  its tormentor !!!! 

I am Proud of The Israeli stance on Gaza operatives.

I am proud of the Israeli Defense Force's operations in Gaza. It is plain and simple. It is imperative that Hamas, a listed terrorist organization, is estopped from further senseless attacks on innocent Israeli's who are living lawfully in their country.

The Israeli's are being Defensive, because no one else will.

May G-D protect the Israeli soldiers, its citizens and world Jewry at large.

The final hurrah of 2008

So here it is, the final weekend (Chamshush - Israeli slang for weekend) of 2008. The year has been big and grand, so here too for 2009. 

Some people prefer the number 8 to 9 and might want to remain with the 8's. Remember, what is, is history and what will be is somewhat of a mystery. 

Congratulations to those who have announced good tidings in 2008 and for those who will in 2009.

Welcome 2009, welcome to history.

I was born on the cusp of imagination and mystery.
