Well, this is stupid:

The founders of the Green Hanukkia campaign found that every candle that burns completely produces 15 grams of carbon dioxide. If an estimated one million Israeli households light for eight days, they said, it would do significant damage to the atmosphere.

I just got an email from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saying this is a great idea, but why stop with the candles? What, he asks, about the “people” that are lighting those Hanukkah candles? Thanks to the recent NIE, calculated as it was to neuter any hard liner approach with the Iranians, his wish for less Kosher carbon is probably considerably closer.

Updates on the Teddy bear jihad, care of Michelle Malkin here. Meanwhile, Investor’s Business Daily today asks if violence is integral to Islam (h/t LGF). And Jihad Watch offers a mathematical analysis of the controversy.

UPDATE at 12:17pm, 11/30/07:

…Imagine my surprise when I read this:

Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear “Muhammad.”

[...] They called for [the teacher's] execution, saying, “No tolerance: Execution,” and “Kill her, kill her by firing squad.”

It’s a regime-sanctioned protest, so it’s conceivable that this is more a reflection of a corrupt, morally bankrupt government than a corrupt, morally bankrupt culture and religion. But since Sudan is a Muslim thugocracy (see the CIA World Factbook), that’s a distinction without a difference.

And another thing… The teacher was charged with inciting religious hatred, which is funny because, you know, it makes it sound as though they need a reason to feel religious hatred. And I wonder if they understand that stories of Muslims acting like this tend to inspire religious hatred as well. If only they showed half as much outrage over suicide-bombers named Muhammad as they do over plush toys named Muhammad.

UPDATE at 2:28pm, 11/30/07: This post is getting longer than the Narrator prefers to have on the front page, so I’ll put the rest of my application for a death-fatwa beneath the fold.

Director Brian De Palma’s political snuff flick “Redacted” — a movie about American servicemen that rape a 14-year-old Iraqi then kill her family — has bombed. Everybody knows this, but I figured I’d just write it out here so in the weeks to come, when “Redacted” is forgotten except as an obituary to De Palm’s career, people will know what the hell this strip is referencing.

And speaking of willful suspension of disbelief, the administration hosted a conference in Annapolis this week, hoping that the Arab states and various terrorist enablers (but I repeat myself*) can build a lasting peace in the Middle East. The betting is that this will cause more harm than good. Meanwhile, showing their eagerness for peaceful coexistence, Palestinians are rioting over the conference. I’m sure we’re all shocked.
