Donklephant Open Thread

This will probably stay up for a day or so, unless another Donklephant blogger pushes it down. I’m taking a day off tomorrow, and not even thinking about blogging.

Say things!!!

Why is it that when a person leaves a blog comment that, most of the time, the person chooses to regurgitate somebody else’s opinion? The response is often the general consensus or ambiguous and fails to take a position. Worse yet is when a person uses a quote and weakly supports that quote.

Zing! Next comment please!

How many of the right whine blogsites are going to post the “accidental” shelling of the beach at Tel Aviv?

I recently stumbled on an interesting perspective on the middle east, Ã¢â‚¬Å“The Arab MindÃ¢â‚¬Â? by Raphael Patai. Depending on who is doing the talking it is either the ultimate tome on understanding Arabs or a worthless doorstop.

From what I’ve seen so far I leaning toward a positive assessment. It was recommend by one of the oil workers over on theoildrum website. So I Googled it and found a review/summary. I have a friend who spend several years in Egypt and it seems to mesh with what he experienced.

Next time I get an Amazon order together I think I’ll buy it.
