Because nothing says “Happy Mother's Day, Mom” quite like a solicitation from and a donation to Planned Parenthood.
Simply… Amazing.

Best line I've seen:
"Gee, that reminds me-- I need to send a donation to Hamas for Israel's 60th aniversary...."
Foxie, thanks for reminding. I'm scratching out a check right now to Hezbollah.
Dean, I know it’s off the subject but……………………
Ms Fier,
Your reference to this historic anniversary cannot go without comment. We cannot look at the conflict and the accomplishments of the Israel with anything but awe. Thank you for bringing it to the BwD table. Enclosed are the comments of Charles Krauthammer who said it better than I ever could, when asked to reflect on comments made by our VP.
CK: Well, it's an opportunity to stand back and reflect the vice president spoke about admiration and respect. We forget how miraculous the establishment of Israel is. It is the first time ever people have returned to their homeland after two millennia and established independence and sovereignty. Israel is the only place on earth where you have people living in the same land, worshipping the same God, and speaking the same language as they did 3,000 years ago. That just hasn't happened anywhere else.
And it is not just the restoration of sovereignty. For example, Israel revived Hebrew, which had been a dead language, like Latin, read and studied but not spoken. It's now the everyday language with a rich literature and poetry of 6 million people and thousands and millions around the world.
All of this has been accomplished by -- in 60 years. People, of course, they speak about the challenges and the clouds and the violence. Let's remember one fact. Sixty years ago, Israel declared independence and was invaded by five Arab states who sought to extinguish it and failed. Six months earlier, the UN had decided that the only fair way to end the British Mandate in Palestine was establishing an Arab state and Jewish state. The Jews accepted it and Arabs rejected it. That remains the central fact of this conflict. The Jews accepted it and the Arabs have rejected. Sixty years later, it remains the central issue. It's not about occupation or settlements or checkpoints. It's about will the Arabs ever accept a Jewish state, and if they do, peace is possible. In the absence of that, we're going to have only war and terror and bloodshed.

By the way, was "Irony" something you majored in at the Point? With a minor in sarcasm? Dude, how do you find these things?

PS, sorry for the non sequetor, Ms. fier got me started. I was just blown away at the media inattention of the significance of the anniversary.
'Dawg, thank you for that. I've been remiss in recognizing this anniversary, so the words from the 'Hammer are much appreciated.
Western Civilization, nation states, democracy, tolerance... catch it!
