| Popcorn at southern Gaza mosque |
| 2007-09-30 |
 Hamas and Fatah loyalists clashed Saturday at a mosque in the southern Gaza Strip, leaving nine people wounded in the latest flare-up of violence between the two factions, witnesses and medical officials said. The melee erupted after Hamas tried to replace an independent cleric at a mosque in the town of Khan Yunis with one of its own religious leaders, witnesses said. |

| #10 Great story, mom! Here's hoping some of the Paleos show such good sense and initiative. Stop laughing. Hope is often irrational. And no, I don't want to be any money on it. |

| #9 I know of one Hatfield that had some brains. One of the Hatfields' shirttail relatives had actually been to school. He learned a little arithmetic and a little about world events. He also saw that Devil Anse Hatfield was selling his land for peanuts to the mining companies to buy weapons, and at the tender age of 13, screwed his courage to the sticking place and told Devil Anse the Mining companies were cheating him. Devil Anse smacked him across the face and told him not to lecture his betters. The boy lit out on a flatboat down the Ohio and got as far away from the fight as he could. This young man eventually was my husband's great-grandfather. |

| #7 The Hatfields and the McCoys kept their battles in one small area. The Hatfields didn't demand the destruction of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. They didn't demand international aid to buy weapons. And they didn't strap explosives on and blow up a McCoy Ladies' tea party. |

| #5 Kind of makes the Hatfields vs the McCoys look like restrained, civilized diplomacy, although I can't thing of a more deserving group of people. Question: Am I a bad person for enjoying this so much? |

| #4 Thank goodness Barbara Skolaut is in charge of the industrial popcorn machine, and AutoBartender stocked the back room of the O Club to the ceiling with kernels, butter, and salt. |
