¡NO PASARÁN!: Today Is George Bush’s Birthday (George Turns 23).

Today George Bush will be celebrating his birthday. Some will protest and say, that’s not true, the former president‘s birthday was July 6. But we’re not talking about the same person, apparently. Nor about his father. Because this George Bush turns only 23 today.

The George Bush I have in mind is not the one whose full name is George Walker Bush, nor the one whose full name is George Herbert Walker Bush, but the one whose full name is George Bush Abdul Kader Faris Abed El-Hussein (no relation to Saddam). And this George Bush was born in Baghdad on July 11, 2003.

Here’s what happened:

According to the @israelpolice statement:

The tour group, including Rep. @RoKhanna, entered a designated Closed Military Zone (CMZ) in Judea & Samaria, a restricted area where civilian entry is illegal for safety and security reasons.

IDF forces stopped them. Police arrived,…

The FA always seems like such a good idea until the FO, and maybe there could have been a little more FO in this case.

THAT GAY CRUISE SHIP DENIED ENTRY INTO TURKEY? Egypt Just Said ‘No’ Too:

I bet Gaza could use the tourist dollars, and apparently a lot of the aid money was looted by Hamas, and fancy nightclubs are springing up on the Strip.

That was my first thought when I read that the Egyptians had followed the Turkish example of denying entry to the Virgin cruise ship hosting a gay-themed cruise.

The Gay cruise that got rejected from Turkey is now being denied entry into… Egypt…

Are people this oblivious about the Middle East and gay rights there?

Funny thing the only country they would prob have fun in is Israel… if only they could their biases aside and go. pic.twitter.com/VXRfgttRbk

What were they thinking, scheduling a gay cruise to visit Muslim countries? It’s not that Egypt or Turkey is exactly a craphole—both have been centers of civilization at times, and neither is crushingly poor in the way that Conan O’Brien’s and Anderson Cooper’s favorite vacation destination, Haiti, is.

Are we certain of who Egypt and Turkey are angry with here?

What if the countries denying entry aren’t homophobic they’re just scared of Patti LuPone https://t.co/lUJe8WgAug

What will happen to the ship if no nation lets them in?

What if no country takes them in? What if they are forced to spend the rest of their lives on a gay cruise, sailing the oceans without end like some sort of eternal gay ghost pirate ship? https://t.co/lSscDgy9hk

Actually, there is one Middle Eastern country that will happily let them in. Curiously, that destination doesn’t seem to be on the ship’s itinerary:
