http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2011/09/groucho_marx_saves_america.html America is roaring back — with laughter. A fed-up nation with itchy Twitter fingers is bringing down what’s left of an insufferably pompous presidency. How? By unleashing the most American weapon of all: the wisecrack. A hilarious barrage of catcalls and insults has greeted Obama’s latest debacle, a Soviet-style website called Attack Watch. With […]

http://www.thecommentator.com/article/443/if_egypt_tears_up_its_peace_deal_with_israel_why_should_israel_make_a_similar_deal_with_the_palestinians_ Is there a silver lining to the rapid deterioration in Israeli relations with Egypt? Many pundits seem to assume that the near-collapse of the peace treaty with Israel’s main Arab ally, after a mob attacked the Israeli embassy in Cairo and the Israeli ambassador had to flee the country, will force the Israeli public […]
