Entertainment through the "news"

It seems to me that while the news gets sadder and more frustrating, it also gets funnier.

Today's headline that cracked me up:

"Trouble finding 250 eligible prisoners hinders release"

(http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1183053079656&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull)

See, Olmert, in his infinite wisdom, agreed to try to release 250 Fatah Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails in an attempt to boost Abbas' standing in the West Bank.

But the one thing he did that made at least a tiny bit of sense was that he agreed to release only prisoners "without blood on their hands."

I guess he didn't take into consideration that:

A: Our soldiers are too busy dodging rocks and bullets to hunt down many people for car theft.

and

B: If someone is in Fatah, of COURSE he has blood on his hands, you dummy.

Duh.

Fatah is a terrorist organization, you big flippin' idiot. What are you thinking?

G-d, I hate stupid people. And even worse, I hate stupid people who end up in positions of political power.
