1 Ṭeveth 5769: Ḥanukkah, day 7/Kwanzaa/Pledge of Allegiance Day/Card Playing Day

Greetings.

Worthy cause of the day: “Tell Congress: HUNGER HURTS Hard-Working Families!”

Today’s news and commentary:

• “The robbery & murder behind the story of Hanukka”
  
• “The 'realist' fantasy”: Interesting political perspective.
  
• “Gaza War: 4 Media Myths to Be Wary Of”
  
• “MP3 player guides rescuers to lost tourists”: No, I am not making this up.
  
• “7 (Stupid) People Who Sued the Scientific Method”
  
• “NYC man sells bubbly calendars for popping fans”
  

Today’s weird thing is Servo Squirter, a computer-controlled do-it-yourself project which should be useful if your computer is ever attacked by the Wicked Witch of the West. Enjoy, share the weirdness, happy new month, and happy Ḥanukkah.
