"Crazy Aunt" Cynthia McKinney decided to board a yacht and try to sail to Gaza to help the militants. Israel did what any military would, by ramming the boat to keep them out. Needless to say, the 9/11 Truther and all-around nutcase McKinney wasn't very happy about their "aggressiveness."
While McKinney and other jihadists aren't happy about what Israel is doing, at least one group of people likes the offensive. Southern Israelis are glad that the Israeli military is finally sticking up for them. On the other side, Hamas is calling for "reservists" (anybody who can shoot or throw a rock) to fight against the Israeli military. Thousands of wannabe martyrs are signing up for their (probably young) virgins. Meanwhile, the Messiah is silent, as the world awaits his opinion. Some even think that he should talk to Hamas, although his campaign rhetoric made him sound like a supporter of Israel.
The IDF set up its own YouTube channel, including infrared videos from its aircraft showing bombings. Enough Hamas supporters had "flagged" the IDF videos that YouTube pulled them down.

In more bailout news, the Treasury Department has given GMAC (now a bank holding company) a $5 billion bailout, and will give GM another $1 billion to buy stock in GMAC. After doing that, now the bailout needs a bailout.
Blago has a press conference as we go to air this afternoon announcing his pick to replace Obama in the Senate. For those of you curious, it's former Illinois AG Roland Burris. Senate Democrats will refuse to seat him.
There have now been 18 murders in Macon for 2008. Wait, that's all?
Sarah Palin's daughter had a baby boy Sunday. Mother and baby are healthy. The Associated Press used the news as an opportunity to attack Governor Palin.
