Selected Tidbits:

We haven't talked in a while, I would like to share with you some selected tidbits, I've been collecting.  While the world goes on its merry way, we must concern ourselves, with ourselves.


I couldn't resist sharing this one and completely forgot about this event in a re-published article I found in Aish.com Helen Thomas should be Fired by Canera.org http://www.aish.com/ci/s/95751129.html
In this article they mention the incident with Don Imus (for the innocent, Don is/was a NYC-based radio announcer who's been around since I was in high school), who was fired from CBS and MSNBC after he made some nasty racial remarks. As the article states " It took little more than a week before he was fired by CBS and MSNBC, losing both his radio program and his television show. The mainstream media gave the story prominent attention for weeks, including updates on the controversy and opinion pieces denouncing the talk show host."

Back to the whole Aza thing, here is something Ehud Barak said.  I am happy to hear he actually said something both intelligent and timely.
"There are 1.5 million people living in Gaza and only one of them really needs humanitarian aid,” Defense Minister Ehud Barak said. “Only one of them is locked in a tiny room and never sees the light of day, only one of them is not allowed visits and is in uncertain health – his name is Gilad Shalit, and this month four years will have passed since he was kidnapped.”
