Went to Mike’s Place in J-town last night for a little party for two friends who are headed out to a 4 month jaunt to “the east.” Mike’s Place is now in it’s fourth location and is now located where Jerusalem’s worst dive, The Arizona, was once located.

Jewish immigration from America is up and is about to approach a twenty year high. (full story) I’m sure Nefesh b’Nefesh handing out massive sums of cash from Evangelical Christians provided the impetus for many to immigrate.

t.A.T.u. canceled their scheduled appearances here in Israel. I knew that a Russian psuedo-lesbian pop duo couldn’t be trusted. Kabbalah-lite follower Madonna has announced plans to shoot her new video here in Israel. The music video will be for her latest single, ‘Nothing Fails,’ from her horrible french techno album, American Life. Rupaul, one of [...]

Everyday the sandwich guy shows up to the office at about 12:00. He offers a wide selection of sandwiches from the very traditional (tuna, egg salad etc) to the more esoteric. An esoteric sandwich? What can an esoteric sandwich taste like? It is through him that I discovered the “sabich”. A sabich is a sandwich [...]

The Lost Children

The Mrs. and I were in the Jerusalem Mall last night. We had just finished eating in the food court when I saw a baby on the floor reaching for a bucket of mop water. I scooped up the young lass. She couldn’t be more than 7 months. She was filthy. I looked around to [...]
