Line of the Day

The last candle of Hanukkah is lit tonight at sundown. It's been a week of mind-bending overindulgence. The boys have received a haul of gifts that makes me feel like the gifts I received as a youth were those of a pauper. I hope the boys don't learn to take the holiday for granted each year and learn the significance behind the festival.

Our president, George Bush, also seems to miss the historical significance of the holiday. It seems he was in Boca Raton, Florida at a local synogogue celebrating the holiday. Wonkette had an observation over Bush's observation of the holiday that was downright observant:

You wouldn't necessarily think a holiday that celebrates the victory of a small band of religious insurgents over an occupying foreign power would be one of Bush's favorites.

Ain't that the truth.
