Someone had a lot of time on their hands and spliced together this terrific video of George Bush singing U2’s hit song “Sunday, Bloody Sunday. Its pretty damn funny and weirdly catchy. Enjoy!

Israel is now fighting the Lebanese in the north and Palestinians in the south. I am very worried that it will attack Syria too very shortly and with America right next door in Iraq, who knows how ugly this is going to get. I’m glad my friend Mendy got back from Israel last night – I fear for and am very concerned about Yisroel right now.
Even though the WC is over, I’m still going to post about footie. If you love it like I do, or simply pay attention to Nike ads, you might know that Jogo Bonito means “beautiful game” in Portuguese. If you are a Brazil supporter, you may want to find out what your Brazillian name is for when you get your very own customized Brazillian football jersey. Yes, they did bow out of the tournament a tad earlier than most thought. They still rock, or should I say samba…

I’ve been on vacation but now I’m back. I just sent the following note to the junior Senator from NY:
Dear Senator Clinton:
I’m outraged that Congress has given itself $31,600 in raises in the past nine yearswhile those earning the minimum wage haven’t seen a single increase. I’m sick of Congress leaving working families behind while passing tax breaks for the richest Americans.
It’s time to get Republicans in Congress moving on raising the minimum wage. That’s why I strongly support your bill that ties any more raises for Congress to raises in the minimum wage.
Sincerely,
Jeff Lipson
She introduced a bill that would make sure Congress doesn’t get another raise in their own pay until those making the minimum wage get a raise too. Who knows, maybe someone in NYC will be able to make enough in one hour to not only buy a beer but leave a tip.
If you support this bill, go here and make your voice heard.
