Sidwell Friends’s surprising Pearl Harbor Day menu (Japanese food for the Obamas)
WaPo ^ | 12/6/11 | The Reliable Source

A lunch that will live in infamy? That’s what at least one parent at elite Sidwell Friends (yes, Sasha and Malia’s school!) wondered upon seeing what the school cafeteria listed as its “Pearl Harbor Day” menu Wednesday: A heavily Japanese-inspired lineup, including teriyaki chicken and edamame (as well as more generically Asian delicacies like tofu, fried rice, fortune cookies and “oriental noodle salad”). A school rep told us this was just a fluke — not a meal intended to commemorate the 1941 Japanese attack on U.S. forces: The contractor that prepares school lunches randomly assigned an Asian menu to Dec. 7, and the subcontractor that prints the calendars automatically marked Wednesday at Pearl Harbor Day. “It was completely coincidental,” said Ellis Turner, associate head of the school.

completely random? Because no one GAFF anymore about what Dec 7th means to some Americans?

Halal menu for 9-11.
And sauerkraut on D-day.

I think a rice ball and old leather is more fitting.

This assumes the person who made the menu even knew Dec 7th which I highly doubt.

...and, THAT is the really scarey part.

"completely coincidental"

Sure it is. And 0bama rubbing his nose with his middle finger is likewise "completely coincidental."

All I know about Japan is if you want to get their attention you gotta drop the big one. Twice.

All Hussein knows about them is that we dropped the big one on them, twice, and we must be horrible sadistic bastards for that one.

One year, at my frat in college, we held Kamikaze Night on Pearl Harbor Day. Believe it or not, the house band for the night was named “Jimmy Chang And The Japanese Dive Bombers” ...

That may be true, but Tokyo Rose was operating under duress. She was acquitted in Nuremburg after the war, unlike Lord Haw-Haw, who did some hard time.

I bet that a lot of Japanese people would be embarrassed by this. Remember last summer when 0bama wanted to apologize for Hiroshima. It was the Japanese who said no, do not apologize. They don’t want to pull scabs off of old wounds, like the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March, the Railway of Death, etc. etc.

I agree. This is more likely the case that the contractor who selected the date and the meal has never even heard of Pearl Harbor or the USS Arizona or the significance of December 7th. In a few years the same will occur with 9-11. Snooki on the other hand...

‘Lord Haw-Haw, who did some hard time.’

If by ‘hard time’ you mean at the end of a hangman’s noose, then you are correct. He was executed ASAP.

He was hanged. Hard time at the end of a rope.
