Peace on Earth etc etc...

HAPPY CHANUKAH!

And the Obama White House has a video about how they made the WH Kitchen Kosher.

One of my medical school roommates mother kept a kosher kitchen...it requires two sets of plates and a lot of care.

And check the kosher okay on the side of prepared foods (similar to the Halal mark on many pre packaged foods here). Some of these food laws overlap, so many Muslims in the US used to check the kosher status to make sure there were no pork products in their food. Nowadays, however, there are enough Muslims in the US to add both marks.

Which always reminds me of this commercial:

Presumably he will release a Kwanza greeting later....and no, I don't celebrate Kwanza...we never celebrated it in the two African countries where I worked, because it was a holiday made up in the US to encourage African Americans of their heritage...

Or maybe it would be more accurate to say his impression of their heritage...because no one in Africa celebrates it...

Kwanza means "first" in Swahili but not in the languages or culture of west Africa, where most ancestors of American blacks originated... .. But since the average American doesn't know the difference between a Kikuyu or a non Bantu Luo, let alone that no American slave ever spoke Swahili, I think I'll just stay out of the fight.

(Hint: Obama's father was a Luo)

Another made up item:
Newt was right?!
