Thursday SNB

And the SNB stands for Snark News Briefs, not Sinuses Now Broken (the reason I’ve been low on posts lately; damn those allergies and sinuses).

The Obama administration: Let’s threaten our ally some more! Let’s see. This is Netanyahu’s “moment of truth.” Netanyahu’s decision will “greatly influence ties” with America. It’s a “pivotal moment” for Bibi. And what, pray tell, is the most important decision that Benjamin Netanyahu will ever make in his life? Whether or not to freeze settlements. Because it’s not like Iran is trying to get nuclear weapons or anything like that. Once again: 78% of American Jews voted for this administration. It’s on your heads.

The rescue will be Tweeted: Some moron jumps off a Carnival cruise ship, gets rescued by a Disney cruise ship crew, and the rescue was Tweeted. I’m sure someday someone’s going to write a graduate thesis about this, but I find it interesting only because the idiot survived.

Manson follower gets the same choice she gave Sharon Tate: Susan Atkins, one of the Manson followers who murdered Sharon Tate, is dying of cancer and wanted to be released so she could die outside of prison. She was refused. Good for the prison. Atkins didn’t allow Tate to choose where she would die. Sounds about right to me.
