With the Israeli Defense Forces now engaged on the ground in Gaza, now might be a good time to consider helping out. There are two organizations I’ve supported in the past and will support in the future.
American Friends of Magen David Adom provides support to the MDA (the Israeli version of the Red Cross.)
PizzaIDF does something directly for the troops of the IDF: delivers pizza to troops on the ground. I remember times in Korea, after a month or two on the DMZ, when I’d have cheerfully killed (OK, OK, maybe just maimed) for a hot slice of pizza and a cold Coke.
You can also specify pizza delivery to a family in Sderot, which has been on the receiving end of the Hamas rocket attacks.
Now, follow those links and give until it hurts.

It’s time for another edition of Name That Party

Instapundit cites a New York Times article on a serious allegation against congresscritter Charlie Rangel.
I note that Rangel’s party affiliation isn’t directly mentioned in the NYT article, though there’s a passing reference to “fellow Democrats” in the sixth paragraph.
Sure, sure, those of us “in the know,” politically, are well aware of Rangel’s party affiliation, but when a majority or those polled after the November election believed, contrary to fact, that Republicans controlled Congress, I think it’s reasonable to believe that a similar majority isn’t going to know upon which side of the aisle Rangel sits.
