‪י״ד שבט תשס״ז * 2 February 2007: Frozen Food/Imbolc/Candlemas/Groundhog Day

Greetings.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Happy Tree Day”
  
• “Gaza Warfare”
  
• “Dems in 2008” (It must be noted that the last several presidents the US has had, both Democrats and Republicans, have been more interested in trying to force Israel into making “peace” with hostile Arabs than in encouraging actual peace. Let’s hope whoever wins the next election has the moral courage and the wisdom to break this stupid tradition.)
  
• “Optimism (1997)”
  
• “Tradition (1993)”
  
• “Chirac: 'No Big Deal'” and “Interview Unravels Chirac Doctrine”
  
• “Has the White House interfered on global warming reports? ”
  
• “Not One Thin Dime for Abbas”
  
• “Could Drug Ads Be Bad for Your Health?”
  
• “Clipping the Wings of 1918 Flu Virus Hints at Roots of Pandemics”
  
• “Raider elephants hit Thailand highway”
  
• “Models "too thin," say 4 in 5 consumers: global poll” (Maybe the fashion industry will take a hint now.)

Today’s weird thing is the LCARS Standards Development Board. Somebody please tell these people to spend their time and effort creating an LCARS theme for Mac OS X Enjoy, share the weirdness, Shabbath shalom, and happy Tu biShevat.
