Where's anti-semitism, borderline or otherwise?! It's just not there! Dude - you're not doing anyone any favours jumping up and down with the anti-semitism bullshit - save it for an occasion when it's actually true because if you don't, all you do is devalue the term and that's probably not a good idea. And really - the NYT is *vaguely* middle left, hardly the extreme left you imply. By international standards it's still pretty right-wing. And they're really not in the business of "smearing" the Jewish community - that's just conspiracy theory nuts.

Please mod the parent up - s/he's absolutely right. GP is confusing walled garden services with The Internet.

I love the fact that they use a random /. comment to market it - hilarious!

This still feels like a marketing exercise...

On the other hand, grass-fed (i.e. "traditionally" raised) meat tastes better than grain-fed meat exactly because it's grass-fed - distance to market makes no difference.

Just out of curiosity - are you willing to extend the same grace to Iran? Their neighbours are just as "nasty", arguably more so, and they face a very real threat from countries like Israel and the US. Are they allowed to acquire a nuclear capability because they're surrounded by assholes too or is it only the people we like who get to do that?

I know it was an easy laugh but just FYI few if any women in Iran wear the Burka (by which I mean have their face fully covered). On the whole they just wear a headscarf and a loosely fitted coat.

Maybe in the US. Here, in the socialist hell that is Europe, they're really fairly common.
