I found this to be hilarious:
US Seeks Mideast Deal Next Year

Yeah, y’know, that problem they’ve been having over there for the last, oh, I dunno, 12 hundred years or so? Oh it’s longer? Well, whatever, we’re just gonna let it go until ’08. Cuz we figure, y’know, could take care of it now, but then we’ll just be bored from like February until April next year.

But then it’s baseball season, and we DEFINITELY wanna get it cleared up by then…
