Jewish homecoming

Written by Al Barger
Published May 14, 2003

On this day in history, May 14, 1948, the Jews ended most of 2,000 years of exile from their homeland with the formal announcement of the creation of the modern state of Israel. Naturally, the United States was the first country to recognize their homecoming.

Welcome home. Just wish you had better neighbors.

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly and sometimes candidate Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at MoreThings.com, what with the paranoid religious visions and the Pentacostal music and visions of God and anarchy running amok and such. Somebody oughta call the cops to report his out of control freedom of conscience. Till they come to take him away somewhere where he can't hurt anyone else, you can check out his weekly column of NEW ALBUM RELEASES.
