Meshugganeh Bush

George Bush is trying desperately to get a few things right before he leaves office. Unfortunately, sending a Christmas invitation to Jewish leaders was not one of them.

The president and the first lady invited leaders of America’s Jewish community for a Hanukkah reception at the White House next month - but raised more than a few eyebrows by putting a picture of a Christmas tree on the invitation.

The message reads that the couple “requests the pleasure of your company at a Hanukkah reception,” written beneath an image of a Clydesdale horse hauling a Christmas fir along the snow-dappled drive to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Bush still Toxic

Bush moves forward with 'buffer zone' changes

Bush administration officials paved the way Tuesday to revoke parts of a key water quality rule that environmental groups say could greatly limit mountaintop removal mining if it were properly enforced.

The White House and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency signed off on plans by the Interior Department to finalize coal industry-backed changes in a 25-year-old stream protection rule called "the buffer zone rule."

Approval by EPA and the White House Office of Management and Budget clears the way for Interior to publish the final rule well before Dec. 19, the deadline for it to take effect in time to make it tough for the Obama administration to repeal.

Odetta dies at 77

NEW YORK:

Odetta, folk singer and civil rights campaigner, has died before she could fulfill her wish to sing at Barack Obama's inauguration as president.

Odetta died on Tuesday of heart disease at Lenox Hill Hospital, said her manager of 12 years, Doug Yeager.

She was admitted to the hospital with kidney failure almost four weeks ago, four days after Mr Obama's election victory.
