An Amusing Quiz and Other Links
I'm actually going out on a date with my wife tonight -- it's been too long -- so I thought I'd offer up a quick link to someone else's interesting reading and take the night off.
Here a few sample questions from the satirical Political Beliefs Assessment Test:
A few more amusing posts that are worthy of attention:
Meryl Yourish has the story of how the Palestinian Foreign Minister from the "anti-Corruption Party" (Hamas) just happened to have $450,000 stolen from his Kuwait hotel room. Oops. I'm sure that used to happen to Arafat all the time. No big deal.
Soccer Dad notices that Palestinian PM Haniyeh is rolling out quite a nice spread for cabinet meeting refreshment breaks, considering how broke the Hamas-led PA is telling the world they are. Soccer Dad also notes the telling photographic juxtaposition of Haniyeh's jovial catering next to Israeli funerals.
Pillage Idiot has the fake-but-accurate version of a Dan Rather interview with CIA leaker Mary McCarthy.
Chainik Hocker has a giant scoop of Anarchy Ice Cream.
Just when you thought the Seder was over, Daled Amos has the story of how he found Bin Laden's horseradish tree.
The Elder of Ziyon exposes Palestinian Camouflauge training. I suppose it works great against color blind enemies.
If you really, really liked this -- or even really, really hated it -- there's lots more:
