The good news of the day, 11/7/15: China and Taiwan are not
going to war any time soon.
A Chinese site called "The Wok" has suggested that
China intends, instead, to surround Taiwan with a thousand islands that
suddenly pop up out of nowhere, throw in some soy sauce, and gobble it.
Then there's the bad news: give up your plan to vacation in
the divine Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik. Moshe Dayan, a great fan that
location, once intoned: better Sharm el-Sheik without peace than peace without Sharm
el-Sheik!
Since Dayan was never famed for humor, there's some conjecture
about whether he was kidding.
Besides, Dayan got to Sharm el-Sheik only by routing Egyptian
armies in his path and
conquering the whole Sinai peninsula. That's no longer an option, since the Sinai is now infested with the worst sort of Islamist terrorist (as compared to the nicer sort). This leaves us with neither Sharm el-Sheik or peace. Which is a downer.

Finally, the truly weird news: Trump is hosting SNL tonight.
I'm sure he'll fire and get fired many times. They'll
overuse the line, for sure. So what. It's still weird news.
