Benjamin Netanyahu’s UN Speech, September 24, 2009: “But to those who gave this Holocaust-denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people, the Jewish people, and decent people everywhere: Have you no shame? Have you no decency? A mere six decades after the Holocaust, you give legitimacy to a man who denies that the murder of six million Jews took place and pledges to wipe out the Jewish state. What a disgrace! What a mockery of the charter of the United Nations!”

Wilder Women by Judith Thurman in The New Yorker. (HT: Mental Multivitamin) Rose Lane Wilder and her more famous mother Laura Ingalls WIlder don’t sound as if they were very happy people in this article, but maybe it’s Ms. Thurman who doesn’t like their politics and way of life.

Perhaps the Wilders just should have been born later so that they could enjoy all the wonderful media tools of the twenty first century, such as Twitter. In this youtube video, evangelist Louie Giglio apologizes to Twitterers everywhere for his former disparaging remarks about Twitter. I’m still at a loss as to what in the world Twitter is good for??? But if Mr. Giglio now repents of his disdain for it, maybe I should give it another look? (Nah, blogging takes up enough of my time and energy.)
