Serving Bread

With Saddam Hussein’s execution, comes an end to an era. For many Iraqis, they had grown up and “adored” Saddam, and now they witness that some sort of justice has been served with the conviction and execution of the former leader. We do not often witness the death of such despots. We have seen brutal [...]

Merry Christmas All! “O Holy Night” is my favorite Christmas hymn: Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, For [...]

I am at a loss for words for being given the honor of “Man of the Year” by Time Magazine. There were so many important and notable people in 2006, yet Time thought that I deserved that award more than Muhammad Yunus of Grameen Bank (he deservedly won the Nobel Peace Prize) or Bono of [...]

A couple days ago, Rhoda and I excitedly went up to “The City” (San Francisco for all of you non-Northern California folk) to visit the FAO Schwartz store by Union Square.

I don’t know why, but in the last several years I feel like a “new” debate has come up in some circles regarding the issue of circumcision. For starters, I really don’t care whether parents decide to snip or not, but I am taken aback at how adament and militant the anti people can be [...]

Time Magazine published an article titled, “The Big Lie about the Middle East” by Lisa Beyer, in its most recent issue. Beyer brought to surface how easily the Palestinian issues can trump Arab politics and any problems within the Arab world. Though she does admit that Israel can contribute to some of the chaos in [...]

Apart from the Iraq Study Group, plenty of people have come out with their plans and opinions about Iraq. The Sunday talk shows are booking these guys by the dozen. As I was watching one of them this morning, my observations for months (or years) are finally confirmed. The only people who seem to have [...]

Most Americans probably bank with Bank of America. It is the largest commercial bank in the United States and the third largest company in the world (from Wikipedia). But did you know, that if you are saving through Bank of America, you are actually losing money. That’s right, your money is worth less today than [...]
