War Room - Salon.com

With his ill-advised war in Iraq, George W. Bush has now created a situation in which one of his closest allies in the Middle East may decide to side with al-Qaida in Iraq — even though al-Qaida would like to see its government overthrown.

No exaggeration here. Apparently the Saudis have been hesitant to support the Sunni insurgency in Iraq because it was led by Al Qaeda, who also wants to see the Saudi monarchy go down in flames. But if the USA pulls out of Iraq the Saudis would side with Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Festivus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.
Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll?
Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born … a Festivus for the rest of us!
Cosmo Kramer: That must’ve been some kind of doll.
Frank Costanza: She was.

The extent of my christmas decorations at work is very limited. I have a poinsettia that I buy and kill every year.

But I think in recognition of other faiths, this year I will also put up an aluminim pole as a nod to Festivus.
