24 ’Av 5767: Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Night

Greetings.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Olmert Explains”
  
• “Giving a Platform for Extremism?”
• “Right on!: Has Israel lost its soul?” (Is there some place all countries can deport their evil and incompetent politicians? Maybe an isolated Pacific island or Antarctica...)
  
• “Many Kids With Private Insurance Missing Vaccinations”
  
• “Laws to Ban Driving Under the Influence — of Texting?” (I am glad to hear that common sense is prevailing among the population of the US on this issue.)
  
• “Crocodile falls 12 floors in escape bid”
  
• “Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a baby, 4Real!” (And people think my idea of naming a kid מטטרון/Metatron is weird...)
  
• “Spain hauls in 8 tonnes of jellyfish”
  
• “Giant Lego man found in Dutch sea”
  

Today’s weird thing is the Geostationary Banana Over Texas. I have no clue what the point of this is other than “art”, but I bet the astronomers will not like it. Enjoy (or be puzzled or something) and share the weirdness.
