Hyperbole

Excerpt from Bionic Mosquito:

The solution for America?  Secession.  Take the election map from last year, by county.  Let’s start with that. There is no other peaceful solution.

In the meantime, if the kooks on the far left and the kooks on the far right want to fight it out, I have a solution that will satisfy the kooks and me: organize the next protest in an area within two miles of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.  There are so relatively few of you that I think you will all fit in this space.  Bring death and destruction to everything within your path – re-enact Sherman’s march.

If you happen to catch a few liberal arts professors at every college and university while you are on your way between your hometown and DC for this showdown, I won’t complain.

Not every thought should be affirmed.

Want to Learn Modern Hebrew Easily?

A young Yeshiva man asked me how he could possibly marry and live in Israel when his Hebrew was so weak. In fact, his proficiency at Hebrew was not bad, but it wasn’t “Israeli”.

I will repeat what I told him:

If you don’t live in Israel, simply learn Derech Hashem by Ramchal. Skip the quotes (made of different versions of Hebrew, etc.). Derech Hashem is better than Mesillas Yesharim, which has far more quotes. And you stay in the Beis Medrash.

For demotic, ethnic Hebrew, find certain kinds of speakers on Kol Halashon. I’m not going to mention specific names. Ask your Israeli friends.

Spend many, many hours on this.
