Thomas Friedman makes the rounds
 Yesterday I heard three-time Pulitzer-winning NY Times columnist Thomas Friedman on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Disclaimer: I hate Thomas Friedman. He became "part of the story" when he suggested to the Saudi prince that he go public with his peace plan for the Middle East. He did make a good point, which I managed to hear through my seething hatred. In the Far East, the political leaders traded democracy for prosperity, and fifty years later, they have democracy too. (Is he talking about Singapore?) In the Middle East, the leaders traded democracy for fifty years of war with Israel. No prosperity. The Arab people, most of whom are under 30 (seventy percent!) are not happy about this. Makes sense.  [Scripting News]
dang! we missed a chance to hear Mr. Friedman speak at our local synagogue.
