Here's another great column by the humorist, including this item: "Renee Zellweger shocked her movie fans by arriving at a fashion show with a completely new face Wednesday. It's not a bad idea nowadays. The good thing about making yourself totally unrecognizable is, if you have any nude selfies that get hacked, no one will know it's you."

Here's the latest news roundups from Betsy's Page, Maggie's Farm, and Larwyn's Linx.

Our manners and culture are falling apart, but I refuse to stop the civilized tradition of shaking hands with people. I never went in for that awful fist-bump greeting, and I'm definitely not going to engage in the grotesque Ebola handshake!

Beneath Contempt

If there's a remote possibility that you need one more reason to despise the Obama administration, this is it: "Top Obama administration official calls Netanyahu 'chickenshit'; U.S. may withdraw support for Israel at United Nations." Someone ought to remind these cowards that Israel is not the enemy. 

Pamela Geller has a good retort:
"Obama’s 'leading from behind' is the very definition of chickenshit.
Obama’s response and the redline on Syria’s chemical weapons is chickenshit.
Obama’s stand down on Benghazi, leaving our Ambassador and attaches to die, was chickenshit.
Obama not sending in back-up to our soldiers in Benghazi is chickenshit.
Obama damaging U.S. credibility is chickenshit.
Obama backing Hamas is chickenshit.
Obama condemning Jewish homes in Jerusalem is chickenshit.
Obama into signing a status of forces of agreement Iraq is chickenshit.
Obama claiming the Islamic State is not Islamic is chickenshit.
Obama not protecting the American people and restricting flights from West Africa is chickenshit.
Obama saying the future does not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam in the wake of jihad murders in Benghazi is chickenshit.
Obama publicly humiliating an ally who won’t submit to the demands of an enemy whose sole mission is to destroy Israel is chicken shit."

(Attention, American Jews! Be sure to vote for the Democrats on November 4, and see how much they respect you.)

Important Questions from Arutz Sheva

In his op-ed "Don't American Jews Realize They Are All Klinghoffer?", Rabbi Berel Wein writes, "The New York Times, one of the leaders of the consistently shrill anti-Israel chorus, in its column regarding the production of this opera interviewed a few Jewish opera goers who were present at the Klinghoffer opera. These Jews were naturally not disturbed by the nature or message of the production and seem to be somewhat bewildered as to what all of the controversy was about. They unfortunately represent a large section of the American Jewish community that is completely asleep as its society hurtles towards the brink of societal weakness, loss of influence, if not even self extinction. They just don't understand that they are Klinghoffer. And that therefore they are applauding their own eventual demise."

And in the op-ed "What Would Toscanini Do?", which mentions how Toscanini refused to perform for Mussolini or conduct the Italian national anthem while the Met staged an opera about a murder of a helpless man by the PLO, these questions are posed:  "What does it mean to portray them and their cause in a romantic and flattering way?
What does it mean that we have allowed the ideas of terrorist groups to permeate our culture at every level and in every way?
Artful propaganda legitimizes terrorists who are already planning to attack civilians. The world’s threshold of resistance is being fatefully lowered, not only by the endless number of just such attacks but by the denial that such attacks exist, or pose a threat."

What She Meant To Say Was..

When Hillary Clinton told us in 1992 that we were getting two for the price of one, she meant it. And she still means it. 

Daniel Greenfield describes the "You Didn't Build That" Party: "At a campaign rally in Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton did her best to prove that she could out-Warren Warren by declaring, 'Don’t let anybody tell you it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.' If the organizations that actually hire and pay workers don’t create jobs, who does?"

Now she's trying to backtrack, using the famous old trick her husband always employed, the "What he meant to say was..." excuse.

Yes, by all means, don't let anyone tell those of us who successfully and enjoyably worked at corporations and businesses that jobs were actually created there, because we just won't believe you!

Trick or Treat

I can't wait till November 5. No more endless attack ads, no more telephone calls -- and hopefully no more Obama Democrats ruining this country!

Bring Back Ellis Island!

I can't stand this. White House Presses States to Reconsider Mandatory Ebola Quarantine Orders.  You irresponsible idiots! It's a public health crisis!  It should be about protecting American citizens, not about the feelings of those being quarantined.

(I remember the scene in "The Godfather" when Vito Corleone is quarantined as a boy at Ellis Island for 3 months due to smallpox. And now you sue over 21 days with Ebola?)

The Enemy of Our Enemy is Our Enemy

Ya’alon launches scathing assault on US policy in the Middle East. 

"While apparently trying to be polite and stressing that he was delivering his critiques 'without naming anyone,' Israel’s Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon launched what amounted to a scathing assessment of Obama Administration wrongheadedness on the Middle East in an extraordinary interview at the end of his trip to the United States."  Too bad he didn't name names, but we all know who he's talking about, and unless they resign or are impeached, we're in for two more long years of destruction in the Middle East by Obama and Kerry.

Charge Them With Treason

Here's common sense from Mark Steyn regarding Muslim terrorists: "I'm tired of being told that we have to change to accommodate them. They are the ones who have to change, or have change forced upon them. And, rather than confiscating passports and preventing these guys from leaving to fight for ISIS, I think we should wait till they get there to cancel their passports: If they prefer to be citizens of Headhackistan, so be it. But, if they attempt to return to Canada (or America, Britain, Australia, Europe), they should be charged with treason."  No wonder Muslims keep attacking and killing, when all they hear are soft, spineless Americans talking about "workplace violence" and still, even after a beheading in Oklahoma, pandering and excusing! I wish Obama himself could be charged with treason.

The Council has spoken! Here are the latest Watcher's Council winners.  This week's winner is The Razor's Kick Turkey Out of NATO. The non-Council winner is The Volokh Conspiracy's post Can ministers who make a living by conducting weddings be required to conduct same-sex weddings?

Here's Daniel Greenfield's Friday Afternoon Roundup, intriguingly titled Dogs, Tornados and Jews.
