The AP reports that India’s Prime Minister is whining about a specific clause in a treaty our President just signed with the world’s largest democracy.

In exchange for mangoes and a promise to help force Iran to abandon it’s weapons program, America will provide India with nuclear fuel and technology.

With 1.2 billion people, it’s gotta be the mangoes that they want, right? Actually, it’s that pesky promise to not help the world’s largest funder of terrorism, Iran.

This really surprises me! After all, wasn’t India an ally of ours during the Cold War? Oh. They weren’t?

This kinda reminds me of the time my mom gave me a .22 rifle in exchange for a crayon scribbled Christmas card, with one caveat: I can’t share it with the coked-out rapist who lived behind the gym at my school. Who made my mom the authority? I was right then, and India is right now!

Just in time for Christmas, a group of Polish legislators have sought to name Jesus as the honorary King of Poland.

Uh-Oh! Not everyone agrees. Everyone including influential Polish Bishop Tadeusz Pieronek.

Bishop Tadeusz Pieronk was quoted as saying it “sounds a bit like propaganda”. Once again, he proves to be a wise and strong leader. Like the time he stated anti-abortion politicians are “right” to not impose their beliefs on others.

Keep up the good work, BP!

Our beloved Speakerette of the House, Nancy Pelosi, told us recently she was sad that “President Bush continues to blame Iraqi insurgent violence on al Qaeda.”

Now the Deputy Leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is sad that the U.S. isn’t “negotiating with the real powers in Iraq”.

Interesting. I thought the real powers comprised of the Democratic party and the United Nations. You’d think with everything Kofi Kup Annan has done for Al-Qaeda, Al-Zawahiri wouldn’t steal his retirement limelight!

Sounds alot like my classmates when we graduate in 5 months.

The LA Times tells us about a grandmother who put her month-old grandson through the x-ray machine, riding the radiological wave on the fashionable TSA plastic grey buckets. Read about it here.

Thankfully, doctors report the child’s golden genetic code remains unharmed.
