In the news

Too funny: Anchorwoman's chat accidentally broadcast live during Bush's Katrina speech
At least she was saying good things about her husband...

Not at all funny: Arabic T-shirt sparks airport row
I think there should be shirts with really patriotic pro-US statements but entirely in Arabic with no translation. Like "God Bless America" or "Democracy and freedom for all"* or "Stars and Stripes Forever." Or even funnier would be "Jesus loves me" or "Happy Rosh Ha Shannah" in Arabic. Middle-eastern-looking people should wear them to airports and see what happens. People who read this who know Arabic (you know who you are...there are at least two of you): I'm waiting for your translations.

Note: Thank you HDS for pointing out my mis-linked link. It's fixed now. Yeah, that other story wasn't so funny...I need an editor.

*not necessarily patriotic pro-US, but you get the idea
