If ... you must 02/07/08

If you haven't read Just one Minute's Barack v. McCain; you must.
In which he considers the possibility of Sen. McCain running against a divided Democratic party.
If you haven't read Wolf Howling's Of John McCain, Kos Coulter and the Goldwater Myth; you must.
In which he makes a point about the importance of Republicans coming together and generously links to me and other similarly minded bloggers.
If you haven't read JoshuaPundit's Sooper Dooper Tuesday Update; you must.
This is a really excellent roundup of percentages and observations about the electorate.
If you haven't read Libs and McCain's age at Don Surber; you must.
I was pretty appalled when Anna Quindlen played the age card. Don thinks we'll see more of it and worse.
If you haven't read Hollywood Kool Aid at Seraphic Secret; you must.
On the other hand there are other issues that Democrats would prefer not to explore.

If you haven't read How was your day yesterday? at Jewish Current Issues; you must.
He recalls a summer spent near Sderot and thinks about what it must be like to live in that area now.From my friend Avraham, a recent oleh

It's a short video of what a Kassam attack sounds like. For those who can't make out the words, the warning Tzeva Adom (color red) sounds from loudspeakers all over the city. There are 20 seconds from the first warning until the missile lands.

Twenty seconds is not much time to get the kids out of the car or van and into a shelter. It's not much time to get everyone out of bed and into a reinforced room, if a family is lucky enough to have one. (Many homes, if not most, do not have a reinforced room.)

Unfortunately, this is reality for Sderot.

If you haven't read How did it get there at Life in Israel; you must.
In which he deals with the possible Jewish origins of the Blarney stone.
If you haven't read National Inane Answering Machine Message day at the Almanac of Miscellaneous Merriment; you must.
I used to leave silly riddles on my machine. It annoyed some people, so I stopped.
If you haven't read Questions and Answers with Treppenwitz at A Simple Jew ; you must.
If you haven't read I used to be smart once upon a time at Treppenwitz ; you must.
I still think that he's pretty smart; and an excellent wordsmith.

sderot, election 2008, language.
