Palestinians are Sorta Equal To Others?!
There is an old cartoon used in textbooks showing the shadow of anti-immigration WASPs being their own immigrant ancestors. Sen. Leahy reminded us of something similar when he opposed a proposed ban on Palestinians by reminding Irish immigrants often were criminals at home. Meanwhile, per "Today's Papers" at Slate, I counter the latest transcript journalism, this time regarding Obama's signing statement policy. Some good WBC games, including upsets.
