Roundup: The Day Thus Far (Updated and Bumped)
Before we log off this morning, here's an index to the posts that are already available for reading. These posts have good news for the following people / organizations:
Hamas: the EU has caved, and will give the PA government money even though Hamas announced that they won't recognize Israel. Shameless terrorist-appeasing liars.
Terrorists: were freed / found out that they are likely to be freed in the near future. So far:18 Hamas MPs (freed); Samir Kuntar, who bashed in the skull of a little girl after forcing her to watch him murder her father (likely to be freed as part of a massive swap for the soldiers kidnapped by Hezbollah); 800 Palestinian security prisoners (likely to be freed for nothing, just a good will gesture... because generosity to terrorists is what all the cool kids are doing this morning, and Israelis want in on the action)
Math geeks: using only fundamental axioms, predict how long a 21 paragraph LA Times article can go without mentioning that Hamas has explicitly announced that they will still not recognize Israel even from within a unity government. Assume following two facts to be true (because they are true): (1) the whole article is about how the US won't fund the unity government, (2) the only reason that the US won't fund the unity government is because Hamas refuses to recognize Israel. [Answer: 18]
Anyone in Hezbollah who needs a weapon: Siniora blocked UN inspectors from the airport, so arms shipments have resumed. This move is in direct contradiction to the assurance that Annan gave Israel so that Israel would life their air blockade. It goes without saying that nobody cares.
Unemployed Jew-hating comedians: huge market for your services in Scotland.
Unemployed terrorist cronies: huge market for your services at the Guardian, attn: Blogging Dept. Only job requirement: must be capable of writing ledes so stupid that they literally warp the fabric of space and time.
Daily Kos lunatics: [summary redacted... just know in advance that the universe hates you and that there's nothing you can do about it]
By our clock it's just after 06:40 PST. We have to admit that, so far, today is turning out to be kind of a downer.
UPDATE (07:05 PST): We forgot one. Good news for... people who like giving land to terrorists.
