Missed me! Missed me! Now you gotta kiss me!

What an odd week it has been.

An Al Qaida wanna be terrorist group, with really bad aim, launched several missiles at U.S. amphibious assault ships. They missed, hit Israel instead, and killed one Palestinian.

Jews are pulling out of the Gaza strip. The Israeli Army, after boot kicking fellow countrymen from their previously State sponsored homes, are mowing down the vacated structures at Palestine request. (See Rachel? CAT machines destroy Jewish homes too.) Gaza has a 60% unemployment rate, but apparently Palestine has the bucks to build brand spanking new homes that haven't been exposed to Israeli cooties. The news footage from Gaza this week has been heart wrenching, but it is the first tangible progress in a LONG time. Would it be too much to ask that peace talks resume?

The mother of a soldier killed serving in Iraq is protesting the war by sitting on a lawn chair outside President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch. The media flocks to the scene like it's an actual story. The lady isn't even on a hunger strike. Meanwhile, back at her place, an embarrassed husband files for divorce.

Blago's order to pharmacists requiring them to fill birth control prescriptions is about to become law. Yup. The law states that those pharmacies that carry birth control and the "morning after pill" must dispense it. Er, okay. So a pro-life pharmacist who doesn't believe women should be having fruitless sex simply won't carry birth control in their inventory? Works for me. And how is this such a big change from before? Small, individually owned pro-life pharmacies won't carry the offending drugs. Pro-life pharmacists working for big chains will say, "Sorry, all out." Nonetheless, look for this faux Blago victory to be touted in upcoming re-election ads. Puke.

Because his constituents"begged" LaHood won't be running for Gov after all. Well, only if you define "begged" as constituents not contributing money to his campaign. I admit, I admire LaHood's ability to turn lemons into lemonade. Personally, I define "lemonade" as the ability to spew total bullshit with a straight face.

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the weekend.
