Current mood: annoyed
We start with Spain - The Hilarion Gimeno school in Zaragoza has canceled Christmas over worries that it would offend non-catholic students. It's Christmas, how is that offensive? You get presents, Santa, a Christmas tree, and Christmas related school plays. That is about as harmless as you can get.
And then Russia - There is something strange going on in Russia. First a prominent Russian journalist, Anna Politkovskaya, is murdered for investigating government corruption, then an ex-KGB spy, Alexander Litvinenko, was fatally poisened, now former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar has been poisened. It sounds like to me that the FSB and Vladmir Putin are cleaning house and ridding themselves of political annoyances.
Finally, we have President Bush - The Iraq Study group released a report today with a whole list of recommendations on what the United States can do to fix the situation in Iraq and get ourselves out of that mess. The report flat out says that the options need to be all utilized and not picked apart piecemeal. Well, it seems that is exactly what they are doing. One of the main parts of the report state that the United States needs to talk with Iran and Syria to get their cooperation with Iraq. President Bush said again today that there is no way the U.S. will speak with either country.
President Bush, Today's Worst Person In The World!
