The Zeitgeist

A Whole Lot of New Humor and New Music. Click Over to Those Pages!

No lengthy Zeitgeist this week -- but check out the "Humor" and "Music" pages starting Tuesday the 17th for a whole lot of new posts. If you have a couple of minutes there are a couple of highly worthwhile articles that I heartily recommend. The first comes from the Tuesday, May 17th Wall Street Journal Opinion Pages -- former Jerusalem Post Editor Bret Stephens has written the definitive piece on the current propsects for peace between the Palestinian Arabs and Israel and the overall climate of deep anxiety being caused by the so-called "Arab Spring." Brilliant stuff:

The second piece come from Sunday's New York Post entitled "Wine, It's All In Your Head," showing that the most expensive bottle of wine may not be the best tasting or the most enjoyable. Surprising research reveals that even some experts can't tell the difference between pricey and inexpensive wines in blind tastings.
