So I’m on a job from which I cannot post.  But I took a cell phone photo from WFC1 on Columbus Day, and this is it:

There’s a ship making its way toward Ellis Island at the middle right of the photo.  It just staggers me – this is the ship.  A replica, but so strange to see a 15th century bit of wood among all the freighters and ferries.  Amazing.

What could anyone possibly add?

Texas parents are complaining that a program to distribute free Gideon Bibles at schools may have backfired. So many Bibles were distributed to students in Plano and Frisco that students reportedly began to use them as weapons, sold them, or even uses the pages to roll joints. In one particularly disturbing account, a Jewish boy was attacked by Christian students throwing the bibles at him.

Who would Jesus throw Bibles at … oh wait.  Jesus was Jewish – Texans would chuck Bibles at Him.

When President Palin lands the Winter Olympics for Wasilla, the Weekly Standard’s “world headquarters” will erupt in cheers.

In a stunning report on Saturday, a British newspaper claimed to have uncovered proof that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — notorious among the international community for denying the holocaust — was actually born a Jew.

According to The Telegraph, a high resolution photograph of Ahmadinejad holding up his Iranian identity card, taken just before the 2008 election, reveals that his family changed its name shortly after he was born, renouncing their Jewish faith and adopting Islam.

“A close-up of the document reveals he was previously known as Sabourjian – a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver,” the UK paper reported.

As you know, if Mom is a Jew when you’re born, it’s a membership card you can’t throw away.
