OUTRANKED

In a report to be released on Monday, Israel is only ranked as the second most likely of 186 countries to be the target of a terrorist attack within the next 12 months, behind Columbia. United States is only ranked fourth. And North Korea is only in 186th place because its "repressive state has basically made it impossible for terrorists to function"(!)

DRIVING SADDAM INSANE The US army have a new method for finding Saddam loyalists and ultimately catching the man himself - good old fashioned taunting! In a campaign set to start on Monday, U.S. forces plan to put up posters around Saddam's hometown of Tikrit showing his face superimposed on Hollywood heroines and other stars in an attempt to enrage his followers and draw them out. As well as Saddam dolled up as a slinky Zsa Zsa Gabor, there is a busty Rita Hayworth Saddam, a grooving Elvis Saddam and even Saddam in the guise of British-born rocker Billy Idol. "Most of the locals will love 'em and they'll be laughing. But the bad guys are going to be upset, which will just make it easier for us to know who they are." You can check out more of the spoof photos here .

MOVING After yelling and screaming for a while now, Blogger have finally returned my mail and upgraded me to an ads-free version. So no more obnoxious pro-Palestinian ads appearing above my blog. I am not sure, though, whether I want to stay with Blogger..too many problems. I may have to consider a move to some other application. Any suggestions?

You are the greatest wife and mother! And then there are the "hiccups" along the way, including the following: - It did not look like we would get the mortgage in time to qualify for a discount, due to strikes in this country. - The date for receiving the keys was postponed a few times, from the original July date until now. This has led to much anxi...

MICHAEL JORDAN AND THE PLO ARABS I just read about this today, although it happened a year ago. I am shocked to say the least. Basketball superstar Michael Jordan, who recently announced that he will return for a second season with the Washington Wizards, has decided to display solidarity with a variety of causes by wearing a black armband during games. After discussing his new season with the Wizards at a press conference, Jordan was asked about the significance of the black armband he had been spotted wearing. "It's in the tradition of silent but visible protest," Jordan said, "like the Tinker kids, Tommie Smith, and John Carlos." Jordan was referring to the famous Tinker v. Des Moines free-speech case in which two high school students won the right to wear black armbands in school as a protest against the Vietnam war, as well as the two Black U.S. athletes who gave the Black Power salute during the 1968 Olympics. When pressed by reporters to ex...
