Okay, so while this may be trivial (Yahoo! always tells me trivial things when I get online; it's what they do best), I thought that this would qualify to make Rachael Ray and Fox News Bajoobaheads No. 2. Here's the story:
2) Aside from the fact that the Israeli government's part of the whole Palestinian-Israeli Conflict part is bloodier anyway (how would you feel if someone just up and kicked you off your home and then bulldozed your house and killed your relatives and then imprisoned you and whoever else was left? Probably not too happy), the keffiyeh while often associated with Palestinian groups is not limited to them (although it has become closely associated by Westerners, often ignorant of the Middle East, to Palestinian independence).
3) A jihad is not supposed to be violent. It's simply a personal quest. For example, a student might be on a jihad to do very well in school. That's all it is. You can chill out now, Westerners.
4) Rachael Ray's stylist claims that the keffiyeh was picked for the outfit. There was an article a while back about how Westerners are now using the keffiyeh in fashion without understanding its meaning and thus upsetting people because they have trivialized what it means for Arabs, especially Palestinian groups. So basically, Westerners stop ignoring important issues that need to be resolved peacefully by trivializing them (aka totally NOT helping) and Rachael Ray, get a brain. GaaAH.
5) Fox News....'nuff said (see part 2 about the Israeli government being the by far more aggressive side).
6) Here's what Stephen Colbert has to say about this:
Rachael Ray's scarf sends blogosphere nuts1) We all know that Rachael Ray is stupid anyway. As for Whoopi Golberg, she went downhill fast and is looking for some attention.
Buzz of the day: A Dunkin' Donuts ad featuring Rachael Ray wearing a scarf that looks like a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men, has been yanked. "The keffiyeh has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad," said conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, fueling the controversy.
Dunkin' says in a statement that the scarf was "selected by (Ray's) stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial."
The View gals raced to Ray's defense today in a long opening chat:
Joy: "Companies should have a little more integrity."
Whoopi, who was most outraged: "It flags Rachael to businesses ... as someone you might not be able to trust."
Elisabeth: "This is the best advertising they could get.

For crying out loud, we are in midst of several crises in this country, namely healthcare, economy, education, employment, banking and mortgage fiascoes and Fox is worried how we sell doughnuts. Grow Up Fox! Your days of shallowness and fear-mongering will be over soon, when you won't have an administration use you for their propaganda. Who knows you may like to get into selling doughnuts yourselves? Just a thought really.
I agree with anom. here. FOX has to stop turning things away from the more pertinent issues within this country. Just keep telling yourself "only a few more months 'till we're free."
nah, FOX will still be around forever, regardless of who's in the White House...but that's what NPR is for.
