Things I Learned from David Mamet in Sunday's Financial Times

• Liberals are evil.
• Criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic
• The British are really anti-Semitic
• T.E. Lawrence was really neat, though
• Liberals want Israel to give up Tel Aviv
• Barack Obama has bankrupted America (apparently all those huge Bush budget deficits had nothing to do with it)
• Barack Obama dismantled health care
• Barack Obama weakened America around the world (Bin Laden must be head-over-heels about that - oh, wait . . . )
• Sarah Palin is wonderful. "I am crazy about her." (After reading his FT interview, I think I can understand why.)

Special bonus item I learned about Chicago in this Sunday's Financial Times:

• $100,000 will buy a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment
