In case you needed more evi­dence that it is bet­ter to marry ear­lier rather then endure the Bat­tle of the Sexes, here comes a study show­ing that men who live longer with­out a mate end up not, well, liv­ing longer Continue reading

May 29th, 2010 · No Comments · Culture, Food, Health, Israel, Personal, The Middle East

JERUSALEM — In my prior post on per­sonal time-management, I men­tioned how to cook good meals quickly and cheaply. Then, I was inspired to show­case some of my recent cook­ing exper­i­ments. Feel free to try them out, and let me know what you think! Well, my first one is not exactly home­made — but one can […]

Future of Social Security

May 12th, 2010 · 15 Comments · Conservative Pundits, Culture, Economics, Europe, Finance, Health, Law, Politics, Religion

The West­ern world prides itself on many of its inven­tions and inno­va­tions — advanced tech­nol­ogy that has improved the lives of peo­ple through­out the world and the idea of government-ruled-by-the-people are just two of many. Per­haps most sig­nif­i­cantly, the West also found a way, for the first time in human his­tory, to ensure that the […]

The Problem of Pedophilia

April 18th, 2010 · No Comments · Christianity, Civil Liberties, Health, Law, Personal, Politics, Religion

Today, many stones are being thrown – includ­ing by yours truly – over the issue of pedophilia. Pri­mar­ily, the Catholic Church gets the bulk of them. As a Catholic “sheep” (as my crit­ics would have it) and thus one who “lives” in this glass house to some degree, I should be more wary, I suppose, […]

Jesus Was a Socialist

March 25th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Bible, Christianity, Culture, Economics, Health, Humor, Israel, Judaism, Law, Liberal Pundits, Politics

Frum Satire has a guest post by Frum Punk that points out the hypocrisy of many reli­gious peo­ple who oppose health-care reform in the United States. Even if you are not Jew­ish, I am sure that Chris­tians and other reli­gious peo­ple can see his points as well. The clar­i­fi­ca­tions in brack­ets are mine. “Frum” is […]

Health-Care Reform

March 22nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Business, Economics, Europe, Finance, Health, Law, Personal, Politics

If there is one thing I hate in pol­i­tics, it is intel­lec­tual dis­hon­esty — whether it comes from Democ­rats or Repub­li­cans, lib­er­als or con­ser­v­a­tives. As I watch the cur­rent cov­er­age of the health-care reform debate on C-Span online, I can­not help but shake my head. I know that the floors of par­lia­ments and tele­vi­sion talk-shows […]

I was sick…

March 4th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Christianity, Health, Politics

I felt this expla­na­tion of the U.S. health care debate was fairly objec­tive; though, I admit that accord­ing to Wikipedia, the pub­lisher leans left. Regard­less, I have a few thoughts on health care: pri­vate insur­ance com­pa­nies seek to max­i­mize prof­its at employ­ers’ expense; employ­ers seek to max­i­mize prof­its at employ­ees’ expense; doc­tors seek to maximize […]

Another Housing-Bust

February 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Business, Economics, Finance, Health, Law, Politics

Don’t let the GDP growth of 5.7 per­cent in the last quar­ter of 2009 fool you even though the sta­tis­tic means that the reces­sion is offi­cially over. (A reces­sion is two con­sec­u­tive quar­ters of neg­a­tive eco­nomic growth.) Besides, gov­ern­ment sta­tis­tics may be mis­lead­ing — or even wrong — as Karl Den­ninger cites in a review […]
