Foreign Puppeteers, Virgin Mary Detectives and Private School Hypocrisy

Egypt pressures Hamas to accept truce with Israel. They say that too many people have died because of the recent war in Gaza. However, Hamas refuses to budge until Israel leaves the Gaza Strip. Surely, Hamas doesn't care about civilian casualties. They can do this forever. Hypothetically speaking, say Israel leaves tomorrow and Hamas is still around. How long before more rockets are launched back into Israel? Days? Weeks? How long before Israel goes back in? Any peace gained through this method would be temporary at best. Guerilla warfare with thousands of casualities isn't the solution either. More on this topic in a future column.

Meanwhile, the propaganda war continues.

As the United Nations neared a vote on a ceasefire plan orchestrated by Condi Rice, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert gets pissed at the language. According to a recent speech, he told his assistants "Get President Bush on the phone!". His assistants tell Olmert that Bush was in the middle of a speech in Philadelphia. Olmert says "I don't care. I need to talk to him now!" Bush got off of the podium and took the call. Bush immediately called Condi Rice and told her not to vote on the bill that she planned, coordinated and lobbied for; leaving her very embarrassed according to Olmert. Can someone explain to me why a foreign country is calling our shots? This is complete BS!!! Talk about puppets and puppeteers!!! However, it looks like it may change under an Obama administration. UPDATE: Condi Rice says that she was going to abstain all along. Okay. Say that's true. Olmert still called Bush and got him off of the stage in Philly. Bush still called Condi in an attempt to have her modify her vote. Again, I say this is horse squeeze.

Barack's Education Secretary tackles the No Child Left Behind act. Liberals always scream against vouchers for parents trapped in failing schools. However, as soon as they can afford to, they send their kids to private school. Why they don't use their own kids to "strengthen the public schools"? I guess their own kids' education is too important to roll the dice.

North Korea is determined to continue their nuclear program. Now, that's a surprise.

For those who continue to see the Virgin Mary in toast, cereal, clouds, salsa, open wounds etc., the Vatican wants you to be quiet until they can send their detectives to verify that it's actually the Virgin Mary. Hey, I'll save them some and say NO, that ain't her!! If you see the Virgin Mary in your oatmeal, you need to lay off of the shrooms.

Barack Obama appears to be in a hurry to remove several executive orders enacted by the previous administration.

Speaking of Obama, black men have become increasingly inspired by Obama's presidency.
