Odds & Sods #45: Hannukah Edition
Dec 4th, 2007 | By Ara | Category: Computers/Internet, Entertainment, George W. Bush, Politics, Video
- So Bush knowingly bucked the NIE. Are you surprised? Me neither.
- Google announces the “fastest rising U.S. search terms” and #1 on the list: iPhone. Tell the truth now — how many of these entries had you scratching your head, e.g., club penguin?
- Another thing about the NIE: should I care that a couple of years ago the intelligence community said Iran was going for broke on their nuke program — and now this assessment contradicts that one?
- Welcome back Wolfie. Are you bringing your girlfriend with you this time?
- Is Amy Winehouse for real, or does she just have, you know, a really good press agent?
- The words “Miss California” and “strips” have collided in the same HuffPo headline. Coincidence? We report — you decide!
- Lewis Black takes on this year’s political outrages. Fun!
- Just in time for Christmas: Jack Chick has the Shocking History of the Mormon Church!
- Oh, baby! No. 1 Ohio State doesn’t stand a chance against No. 2 LSU in the BCS title game. Mark — you goin down!
- Although it’s a minor Jewish holiday really, we can say without much doubt that, without Hannukah, there would have been no Christmas.

Apparently, Bush is claiming that he only learned of the new intelligence assessment last week. So, is he a liar or a fool? The only possible answer is “yes.”
I missed the press conference this morning so I’ll have to make a guess: he said that the NIE confirms his contention that wearethisclose to WWIII.
Right?
Well, duh. Otherwise Iran might get the knowledge to make a bomb. What a miserable asshole.
