JERUSALEM -- Sasha Boojor squirmed and struggled as black-clad masked men yanked him out of a cage and branded him with a hot iron.

No cooked human bones were found among the thousands of fragments...

The customs official shook his head and said, "Well that accounts...

Sen. Joseph Lieberman's Rabbi, Barry Freundel, may have opened up a can of worms when he told the Washington Post's Lloyd Grove earlier this week that he didn't think having a presidential candidate in his congregation would "affect my standing as a rabbi.” Acting in a personal capacity, Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman fired off a letter to Rabbi Freundel urging him to avail himself of the opportunity to educate the Orthodox Jewish pro-abortion Democrat on the just how far he's strayed from the fold. "You should be proud that you are the first Jewish rabbi in United States history...
