Monday: Take Us to the River. Toss Us in the Water.

• More of the Same: US removes funding and political ban on PA gov't.

• Yeah, Right: "The drivers of violence in Gaza are clearly external. When all Palestinians can vote for sovereign rule, peace will be within reach." -- The aptly named Karma Nabulsi, blathering in The Guardian
• Eunuchs Run the Schools: "A fifth-grade promotion ceremony in Rancho Palos Verdes turned into a free-speech battleground Thursday, when students were asked to remove weapons from toys that had been placed on mortarboard caps because of the school's zero-tolerance policy for weapons on campus." (Sparks from the Anvil)
• "I am both Muslim and Christian": Hard to say what should be more ashamed, Seattle or the Episcopal Church, but my money's on Seattle. The Church has had no shame for decades now. Proof? "Redding's bishop, the Rt. Rev. Vincent Warner, says he accepts Redding as an Episcopal priest and a Muslim, and that he finds the interfaith possibilities exciting." Exciting indeed. I waiting for the moment the Muslim within pronounces Jihad on the Christian within, and requires her to decapitate herself.
• Check in with the Muslim Episcopals first, please: " Suicide Bomb Teams Sent to U.S., Europe" A Pakistani journalist was invited to attend and take pictures as some 300 recruits, including boys as young as 12, were supposedly sent off on their suicide missions.
• On Second Thought, Please Visit the UN on Your Way: "UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that the slaughter in Darfur was triggered by global climate change."
• After which, pick up Mike Nifong who'll have some time on his hands: "Judge Boots Nifong From Office, Names Special Prosecutor."
