So Obama's advisor defends a book about the power of the "Israel lobby" in U.S. politics. This is a problem, I guess, because there is no Israel lobby? Or Israel has no undue influence on U.S. politics? People get all up in arms, but it's OK, because there is no reason to question Obama's "pro-Israel bona fides."

But really, there's no lobby. Nothing to see here, folks.

The time sure does fly when your having fun. Sorry for all the trouble a few years back. I put my son in charge while I was on vacation and you know how he feels about you goys. I've been trying to get him to understand forgiveness, but its a tough sell.

Presidential Message: Ramadan, 2007

If it's 5768 AN it's like, what, 1428 AH?
