Both John McCain and Sarah Palin have clear ties to the far right John Birch Society organization. McCain used to attend John Birch Society meetings in the Phoenix, Arizona area and is well known to local John Birch Society members in that area's chapter. And Sarah Palin has been featured in the John Birch Society publication, THE NEW AMERICAN Magazine before. Both McCain and Palin may even be full fledged dues paying members of the John Birch Society as well.

Is it self-delusion? Is Sarah Palin in shock? How can she continue to lie about obvious facts... everyone knows she's lying -- except Sarah it would seem.

For this week at least, John McCain is all about Changing Direction from what Bush has done.. yesirree. Next week? It's anyone's guess. This drama of watching John McCain flail about like a fish out of water is amusing. John McCain is in a full-blown panic, erratically shifting from one approach to another, seemingly just one half-baked, "campaign suspension" away from a total meltdown.

Without any Sons of David left, there could not be a Jewish Messiah, so the fact that the holocaust failed as the Final Solution, IS good news.
You're right though. I think the Globe meant "whoopee!".
It reminds me of the FBI's "expert" interpretation of David Koresh's 7 Seals as seven "arf! arf!" seals, instead of wax ones used to SEAL royal documents. Ugh.

To be fair, the word "celebrate" does not necessarily denote a happy occasion. The latin root roughly translates as "to honor" or "solemnize" in great numbers. Such a meaning would be entirely appropriate for Yom Hashoah.
To today's ears, however, we do tend to attach a more joyous meaning to the word, and use words such as "observe" and "commemorate" for more solemn occasions. What the Herald writer had in mind, I have no idea.

To quote them
If someone had bothered to proofread the sentence they would have caught the mistake shown in bold. After all shouldn't a reporter for the Boston Herald at least remember the movie Schindler's List

Sabba Hillel,
And that type went across at least three sets of eyes before publication. Maybe many, many more.

My local paper consistantly mis-identifies photographs of public figures and puts "Linda Chavez" under any number of African faces (never white). About three times a year since the Reagan years. It's true! I'm collecting the next one. (I'd have had a cool web page by now.)

Well what do you know, it Patriots Day in Massachusetts. How 'bout that? Too bad it isn't a national holiday.

Well, bD, his name certainly sounds Jewish. Isn't that good enough to start pigeonholing?
