A Potpourri of Posts...

....since I am too bereft of ideas to offer any of my own tonight.

First, we give you Erica's Blog, in which we are told the tale of an idealistic young Jewish girl, ready to throw away fear, prejudice, and stereotypes in order to help a friendly young Arabic fellow learn some Hebrew, until.....

May I also present the Brussels Journal, who informs us that Bristish Muslims are refusing to wash their hands while visiting sick relatives in hospitals ( a precaution initiated in order to stop the spread of "superbugs" such as MRSA and PVL).

Baseball Crank compare the lives, and deaths, of two very different men whom did very different things for their countries.

I gotta make this a permalink.....
