Everyone is talking about Steven Slater, the flight attendant who cursed at a passenger, grabbed two beers, and slid down the escape slide, which may be the best resignation ever. In fact he’s so good at quitting, they’re thinking about making him the next governor of Alaska.- Jimmy Kimmel

Passing The Buck
Christopher Crowley,
USAID director in Iraq, said the push for Iraqis to take over the U.S. victims
aid program is part of a general trend for all American assistance programs
here. The U.S. is "seeking a larger contribution from the (Iraqi) government to
these programs so they will become more sustainable as time goes on," he said.
But the move is rankling some Iraqis. Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has
criticized the U.S. for rushing to cut ties to Iraq, saying: "Their message to
us is:
'Solve your problems quickly so that we can withdraw quickly.'"

Imam Outreach
The imam behind
controversial plans for a mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks is being
sent by the State Department on a religious outreach trip to the Middle East,
officials said Tuesday, in a move that drew criticism from conservative
lawmakers..."We have a long-term relationship with him," Crowley told reporters,
noting that Rauf had visited Bahrain, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates and
Qatar
in 2007 and went to Egypt last January as part of an exchange program run by the
State Department's Office of International Information Programs.

Gibbs Unapologetic To Lefties
White House press
secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday he might have said things differently when
he lashed out at liberals he called the "professional left" and suggested some
of them should be drug tested.
But he told his daily White house briefing that
he's certainly not
leaving his job over the remark, as at least one Democratic congressman has
suggested.

The
annual Perseid meteor shower is already putting on an excellent show, and the
celestial fireworks have yet to peak. The main event is tonight. Meanwhile, a
delightfully tight configuration of planets graces the evening sky.
Rarely has there been a better time to go out, look up and enjoy easy-to-watch
cosmic spectacles.
Across the Northern Hemisphere, the best time to watch the Perseid meteor shower
will be tonight through the pre-dawn hours local time Friday, regardless of
where you live. Weather permitting, patient sky watchers could see a shooting
star every minute or so. Photo/NASA
Peace.
