GE returns to Paul Harvey after Muslim flap
GE returns to Paul Harvey after Muslim flap Yee-ha! Score one for all of us! General Electric has decided to resume advertising on Paul Harvey’s radio program after having pulled its spots due to complaints from the whiney Muslim lobby, CAIR, about a comment the radio newsman made about Islam. Smooth Stone wrote about CAIR’s assault on Paul Harvey last week and we, along with...
The Tenth of Tevet
Siege of Jerusalem Sunday, January 4, 2004 is The Tenth of Tevet , a Jewish fast day commemorating Nebuchadnezzar’s siege of Jerusalem 2,500 years ago. In Jewish consciousness, a fast day is a time of reckoning, a time to correct a previous mistake. During Nebuchadnezzar’s siege, there was little damage on that first day and no Jews were killed. So why is this day so tragic? Because the...

Want Israel to remove her fence? You remove yours first.

Please help the world get rid of the fences and write to the heads of state and representatives to the United Nations. First, we start with the fence between Mexico and the USA. There is really no need for this fence since the...
Why No Outrage Over Syria’s Occupation of Lebanon?
Syria maintains about 25,000 troops in Lebanon based mainly in Beirut, North Lebanon, and the Bekaa Valley. Syria’s troop deployment was legitimized by the Arab League during Lebanon’s civil war and in the Ta’if Accord. Damascus justifies its continued military presence in Lebanon by citing the continued weakness of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) , Beirut’s requests, and...
A Smooth Stone “By the way, in case anyone asks” rebuke
