I got a forward yesterday from someone I know who is pro-Israel to almost a rabid point. The forward was about how Dick Armey said something on CNN to the effect of "Israel is for the Jews, we should work to ensure that especially since there are a lot of Arab-friendly nations around that the Palestinians can go to," and how happy the Jewish community should be that a member of the American government publicly said something like that, supporting Israeli Jews. I am not so rabid about this despite my religious and cultural background. I liken what Armey said to what might happen if the government suddenly knocked on your door, told you they were taking your house and that there was plenty of land around that you could move to that afforded a similar situation. That's not the point. The point is that it's your home and you don't want to move, and you'll fight to defend it, though here in the States you'd probably resort to legal recourse rather than guerrilla warfare. I just wish they could all find a peaceful solution to the situation, and that this whole "well, they started it so we're going to hit them back by retribution" mentality would quit.

Apparently, our lovely president was warned a month ahead of September 11th that terrorists would attempt to hijack airplanes within the U.S. According to Ari Fleischer, Moron only thought this meant "hijackings in the traditional sense and not using planes as missiles." So? Shouldn't have that been enough to upgrade security? At what point does hijacking become okay? It's okay if it's a puddle-jumper but not a 767? Our president should've forwarded that warning onto the appropriate agencies so airport security would've been upgraded enough to prevent any kind of hijacking. Instead, he was off gallavanting on his Texas ranch.

Jack Black may be a freak of nature, but he's incredibly funny.
