3 millionth tourist and other news

3 millionth tourist arrives in Israel.

Pastor Jomber Araujo Vladislav, leading a group of 120 evangelical pilgrims from Brazil, was welcomed by Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov and other state officials at the airport in a special ceremony.
Unfortunately for the pastor, he was also randomly selected for a special set of security checks. After the ordeal, the good pastor said "I may never return to Israel" adding, however, that this cloud has a silver lining. "The checks were so thorough that I don't need to visit a dentist, an internist and a proctologist for years to come," he explained.

Culture minister Limor Livnat: No one will shut my mouth. Don't we know it, Limor... so many years the whole country is trying... But maybe now British Petroleum, with their recent experience...

Holocaust-denying bishop threatened with expulsion. From Vatican bowling team, they forgot to add.

UK to check Islamic schools after Sharia claim. The checks are already over, no Zionists detected.

WikiLeaks: New release 7 times size of Iraq logs. Reached an agreement with Google: readers will be paid per page.

Speaking of profiling, Obamalot has found a way to become even more unpopular: considering exempting Muslim women (especially those who wear Burkas) from airport scanners and groin gropes.

I am not sure one can blame Obama for the TSA shenanigans. After all, it started with his predecessor, and then TSA has ways to grow on you...

Dick, you should not believe everything Fox News broadcasts.
Snoopy, nice to see that Israel does not exclude special guests such as the 3 millionth tourist from their security checks. (dry humor)

Yeah. Our security has to show its muscles too from time to time...

You really have a thing for Fox News, eh, David? Want to see them banned, like Sen. Rockefeller has suggested?

Dick Stanley said...

Two years in power now, Obamalot is hardly helpless. Same party as the permanent bureaucracy, which runs TSA, after all. But it's always easier for a prez to blame his predecessor.

No Dick, I do not want Fox News banned, that would be unAmerican, I just want them ignored.
