      Sweetness and Light?


      I'm sorry that all you loyal readers and "commentors" think I'm too negative.  I don't mean to be, but I can't tell lies.  Sorry.  Things just aren't all that hunky dory in the Holy Land.

      Did you want me to say that it's good that the NRP made a deal with Bibi?  How could I say that, when I don't think so, especially when Ehud Barak will continue as Defense Minister, and he's celebrating that by destroying Jewish Homes and a synagogue.  Yes, technically, Olmert's still Prime Minister.  Ole Olmert has given the term "lame duck" new meaning.  Sorry, but I can't find anything good to say about it.

      And that Nazi-like picture by Oliphant, what nice Pollanna words can I say about it?

      Recently I posted on Shiloh Musings some pictures I took of Jerusalem.  Unfortunately, they're of the construction site.  Olmert's lightrail system.

      But, I do have some gorgeous pictures.  I took them this week up north.  I recommend that you take a look and you'll see what a great artist G-d is.  I'll just leave you with that thought.

      Chodesh Tov and Shabbat Shalom!
