Cynthia McKinney attempts to liberate Gaza

Shit like this I couldn't even make up if I wanted to:

The yacht carrying former US Congresscritter and Green Party Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney tried to outmaneuver an Israeli navy gunboat off Gaza early Tuesday morning. The yacht rammed into the Israeli gunboat, which then turned it around and sent it back to Cyprus.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the boat ignored an Israeli radio order to turn back early Tuesday. He said the boat tried to outmaneuver the navy ship and crashed into it, lightly damaging both vessels. The navy then escorted the boat to the territorial waters of Cyprus.

For what it's worth, it was revealed the other day that Cynthia McKinney was right about how mad black people were shot and killed by white vigilantes in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. There was a big story about it in the Nation. I'm sure you fruits already caught that though.

I hardly ever do this, but I'll go ahead and say it: I was wrong for ever doubting Cynthia McKinney. Even though I wasn't questioning the fact that there was a mini race war post-Katrina so much as I was her making it one of the main talking points of her presidential campaign.

And she wonders why they never let her on TV.
