Jimmy Carter to meet Hamas leader The former U.S. president who justifies Palestinian violence as a reaction to Israeli apartheid will meet with the head of the world's leading Middle Eastern terrorist organization in Syria this month.

In an unprecedented event that U.S. officials say displays poor judgment, Jimmy Carter will visit with Hamas Leader Khaled Meshal, who runs his violent operation from Damascus to avoid being arrested by the Israeli government. Known by the Arabic acronym for "Islamic Resistance Movement," Hamas is committed to eliminating Israel and replacing it with an Islamic state. It has repeatedly attacked Israel with suicide bombers and armed resistance to Israeli military occupation. (Via Judicial Watch)

Minnesota State Funded MadrassaEd Morissey: Minnesota doesn't have school vouchers, but we have a fairly strong charter-school presence. In fact, the Little Admiral attends a foreign-language immersion charter school which does a remarkable job with its students. Charter schools are public schools, however, and cannot offer religious-based curricula. As Katherine Kersten discovers, that applies to every religion but one, apparently. So much for separation of church and state. (Via Hot Air)

Pelosi's War Congress: The cowardly start more wars than the courageous. Nancy Pelosi's craven altering of House rules to kill off Colombia's trade pact brings that danger to the Andes. If war breaks out, her name will be on it. (Via IBD Editorials)

Clintonomics Debunked If doesn't matter whether Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee. At some point during the fall presidential debates, one of them will turn to John McCain and say something like this: "Senator McCain, we raised taxes in the 1990s and had one of the greatest economic booms in American history. Why not go back to those rates by repealing the Bush tax cuts?" (Via US News

Liberal talk radio's very bad week Steve Gill: Air America's rock-bottom ratings offer a valuable lesson: attempting to fill the left's void of ideas with F-words and ad hominem attacks will not fool the listeners for long. (Via Pajamas Media)

Clintonomics Debunked, If they are stupid enough to ask the answer is, The rich got richer and the poor worked 12 hours a day and had nothing or little to show for it. I lived through a lot of presidents and had less under Dimmy Carter and Slick than any other president in my 67 years. Any working person that will tell the truth has to say the same.

What about this school??

First Hebrew charter school in U.S.
HOLLYWOOD, Florida: The towering piles of books and summertime stream of construction workers give no hint, but this school is like no other.

It takes its name from a Jewish high priest. Its director is a rabbi. The food is kosher. Hebrew will be uttered throughout.

Oh, and it's a public school.
