Today's Hoot

As always, there's lots of goodness at James Taranto's Best of the Web. He has an interesting contrast of the Easterbrook flap with the Arab American Institute hoedown for Democrat presidential candidates. I guess anti-Semitism depends on who said it.

Meanwhile, some of his better one liners:
You've gotta love Reuters. It headlines the story "Bush Tells Mahathir His Jew Remarks Are Wrong." His "Jew remarks"?
...
Hey, has anyone else noticed that you never see Osama bin Laden and Ted Kennedy in the same place at once?
...
Along similar lines, the Science Fiction Book Club-- logo: "50 years of great science fiction and fantasy"--is offering for sale Al Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them."
...
Canada's National Post reports that the Toronto Globe and Mail has published a ranking of Canadian universities that "awarded top marks to medical and law schools that do not exist."
