With something like a 10-60 record as coach of my children's soccer teams why do I do it? Because I'm Soccer Dad!

- Daylight wastings time
Comedian Sam Levenson attributed this description of Daylight Savings Time to his mother: cutting the end of a blanket and sewing it onto the other side to make it longer and then cutting it off the other end and sewing back on the original side to make it shorter. I've been telling this to my children who are amazed at the wisdom of Daylight Savings Time. Especially now that it's 3 weeks earlier. The Washington Post heartily endorsed the proposal a year and a half ago: ONE VERY TINY (but very talked about) provision in the energy bill would extend... - If ... you must 03/13/2007

Incoming Carnivals Check out the Purim Edition of the JPix Carnival Part I and the dessert, Part II, at Me-Ander. It's so amazing that it has J-Pix founder, Bagel Blogger going Ape! The second edition of Carnival of Maryland is up at Pillage Idiot. And check out the Pillage Idiot's great new logo for the carnival. I tell you that barbarian is a regular renaissance man. Really. (And he listens to classical music too.) Do you know how many other state fairs carnivals there are? Carnival of the Ohio Bloggers and Virginia Blog Carnival. Others are listed but have... - Just What Does Jimmy Carter Know About Judaism?
Last week, Jimmy Carter claimed that Israeli polices toward the Palestinian Authority violates the Jewish religion. Stop and think about that for a moment. What in the world is Carter talking about? Is Jimmy Carter basing his comment on his study of the Chumash? If so, has he actually read the Tanakh in the original Hebrew or has he been relying on the King James translation of a translation of the original Hebrew? Has he studied Rashi? Is he familiar with the difference between Torah SheBichtav and Torah SheBaal Peh and why the former cannot be understood without the latter?... - It only seemed like two years
Could this have anything to do with this? UPDATE: Wow, Elizabeth Taylor did it too. Blogdigger tags: Sleeping, Snoring.... - Persistent libels
Last week the Egyptian media reported a television report in Israel claimed that during the six day war in 1967, the Israeli army massacred some 250 Egyptian prisoners. The problem is that the Israeli program did no such thing. My Right Word in An Israeli journalist comments on Israeli journalism quotes: Shklar said in a statement that reports about the documentary in the Israeli press - including in Haaretz, Yedioth Ahronoth and Maariv - had relied on the Egyptian media. He said that such publications had not bothered to watch the documentary before reporting about it. Adelist accused the Israeli... - If ... you must 03/12/2007

Life in Israel's Super Mega Double editon of Haveil Havalim #109 is up! I'm scared to imagine what he'd do on April 15. (see below.) It looks great and, as he puts it, "Maybe take a day or two off of work to make some time for it..." I'd like to thank the wonderful folks at BlogCarnival for this wonderful Blog Carnival Widget that gives information on upcoming hosts and past editions. bc_width="300"; bc_height="420"; bc_color_text="#666666"; bc_color_link="#0000FF"; bc_color_bg="#FFFFFF"; bc_id=43; bc_format=2; Thanks for participating, reading and keeping Haveil Havalim going! 110 March 18 - Soccer Dad 111 March 25 - Soccer Dad... - Dibiagio's baggage
Thomas Dibiagio's term as U.S. Attorney for Maryland was marked by a number of high profile successes and a number of high profile scandals. Among the successes were the prosecution of Nathan Chapman, a fund manager with close ties to former Governor Glendening and the prosectuon of Maryland State Police Chief Edward Norris. In the latter category was the mysterious death - still unsolved - of one of his prosecutors and a memo in which he demanded high profile convictions. That last incident led to his reprimand by his highers up at Justice. As the Washington Post notes in an... - New look
I got tired of my own color schemes and found a neat one on the internet. Unfortunately it appears that there are quite a few mistake in the template. Any Movable Type experts willing to parse the code for me? I don't know enough. Please let me know if you like it and if you can read it. Comments below or e-mail me at dhgerstman at hotmail dot com.

The Council has Spoken and it has determined that JoshuaPundit's Between Iraq and a Hard Place -- Why We Went, How It Got So Screwed Up and Where It's Going -- Part 2 is the council winner this week and Websurdity's Uncomfortable Questions: Was the Death Star Attack an Inside Job? was the non-council winner. (Warning: the latter is unbelievably funny.) The runners-up were Death of a Titan, Right Wing Nuthouse's tribute to Arthur Schlesinger Jr. among the council entries and the non-council runner up was Iraq Trip Report by Small Wars Journal. Want to get in on the fun?... - If ... you must 03/08/2007
If you haven't read Best Star Trek Movies (in order) at Colossus of Rhodey; you must. I'd guess that most Star Trek fans would choose the Wrath of Khan #1 and the Final Frontier #10. (My feeling on seeing the trailer for the Final Frontier - wow those 3 jokes were great, unless there's nothing else good about the movie, it'll be great. Well there was nothing else good about the movie and one of those jokes didn't work. Scotty does know the ship like the back of his hand he'd never turn around and walk into a bulkhead. Cheap... - Tolerance through humor
In Just a Little Innocent Comedy (or here for a link that won't disappear as quickly) the Baltimore Sun's TV critic David Zurawik profiles two Arab American and one Iranian American comic. The profile is mostly a lecture about tolerance. Indeed though progress has been made, more is needed, says Evelyn Alsultany, a University of Michigan professor who since 2001 has tracked TV portrayals of Arab- and Muslim-Americans. Most television roles that call for a person of Middle Eastern ethnicity, she says, fall into one of two "types." In the first, Alsultany says, an Arab character is unjustly suspected of... - Sorry, I gotta scoot
Right Wing Nuthouse gets the Libby verdict down in a (four paragraph) nutshell Instead, all they got was Scooter Libby who lied to the FBI and the Grand Jury about who told him what and when about a non-clandestine CIA agent who was married to someone who has been proven a liar by at least two investigations. What the verdict proves is that you should never lie to the FBI or the grand jury. Thats all. Anything else is fantasy. Did the Administration deliberately try to discredit loose cannon Wilson? Since the guy was shopping his classified trip to Niger...
