There's an unintentionally hilarious piece of editing in a news story headlined "Netanyahu Urges Pope to Speak Out Against Iran" in today's New York Times. I say "editing" because it can only have been done by the hand of an editor - I can't believe any reporter would have written the sentence in bold below.

You have to read the whole piece, very short, to see what he is talking about but it is hilarious.

We should be grateful according to the quote that Israel isn’t threatened to be wiped off mat daily.

Funny

Ping!!!

Fine little piece in the (London) Telegraph showing why they call it the New York Slimes.

Thanks for the ping!

There's stupidity... and then there's Liberal stupidity.

Self-destructiveness really, but of the kind that frequently gets innocent people killed.

Thanks for the ping. It would be hilarious were it not so sick.

In the past? He’s never STOPPED hoping Israel would fall into the sea.

Gotta love the first comment below the story:

Well, it is the NYT, the newspaper whose three largest reader demographics are parrots, puppies and dead fish.
