CELL-PHONE DIPLOMACY ON MIDEAST
A ringing cellphone distracted Palestinian negotiator Ahmed Abed Rabbo while he was making a speech on the status of East Jerusalem at an international peace conference held in Morocco Dec. 16. After the phone was turned off, Mr. Abed Rabbo found that he could not remember what he was talking about. "The ring tone was one of those songs from the Eddie Vedder soundtrack to "Into the Wild," said Abed Rabbo. "I really loved that movie."
Embarrassingly, Israeli negotiator Ehud Reve then found himself unable to recall his nation's position on the Palestinian right of return. Mr. Reve apologized for forgetting to set his phone to vibrate, and said that Mr. Vedder was one of his favorite artists. After several hours of intense talks, the two sides issued a joint resolution honoring the former Pearl Jam frontman.
"This shows why the two sides need to get past their differences of political position and focus on their common human qualities," said US President-elect Claudia Zirconium in a statement issued Dec. 19.

Don't know if this is one of those Onion type things but I thought it was funny (except the bit about it saying "former" pearl jam frontman?!)
He sure is popular in the middle east!

I hope this "former" thing doesn't set off panic...it was just a mistake.
TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT will certainly produce many unusual, even weird, news events – but we're not going to wait around for them to actually occur. Here's a look back at the year that's about to begin:
