by (Parody News Service*) President Barack Obama has tonight for the first time hosted a Purim celebration at the White House.
Purim celebrates the successful efforts of Queen Esther and her Uncle Mordecai to save the Jews of the Persian Empire from “Haman’s plot to annihilate them, as recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purim . The traditional celebration includes dressing in costumes and drinking to the point where you cannot distinguish between the hero Mordecai and the villain Haman.
