#1 Purim

Tuesday, March 18, 2003

The holiday of Purim, involves a plot by wicked Haman against the Jews and his eventual defeat and demise through the efforts of Mordechai and Queen Esther. A minor holiday, Purim is historic in origin. It is celebrated with much joy and revelry. Traditionally, children and adults dress in costume and a carnival atmosphere prevails with parades and festivities. The Book of Esther is read and children twirl noise makers known as groggers to "blot out" Haman's name whenever it is read.

#3 RW---I have seen here or somewhere that Blixie's inspectors are ready to go in 3 hr. The problem is that Sammy just may want to jaw with them come departure time and they may not be able to make the plane. In which case we should put that one on Blixie' head. I do not think that Bush will let Sammy hold up the show with a hostage taking program.
