Nation's Jews Abandon Facebook and Twitter, One Day Per Week, Starting...Now

It hasn't officially been rebranded, of course; God is notoriously conservative about updating that Bible of His. But, as reported by the New York Times, Reboot, a nonprofit Jewish think tank, has come up with a new version of Shabbat that is not only restive but sort of cheekily appropriate. And if you notice a lack of Jews on the internet, starting about now, you'll know why.

Sorry bloggers, I didn't indoctrinate David Petraeus

Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee last week, U.S. CentCom commander General David Petraeus made the obvious point that the continuation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a strategic problem for the United States. Among other things, he said "the conflict foments anti-American sentiment, due to a perception of U.S. favoritism for Israel. Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of U.S. partnerships with governments and peoples in the AOR and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world."

Mosely is just a trainwreck when he attempts to drive. We needed more Tucker and we needed Hayes to man up and work for more shots. He drives me nuts the way he passes up shots to take worse ones or bail out to a lesser shooter. You're a senior guard, dude, play ball! That's why GV ends up shooting so much junk because his battery mate disappears.
