"Strait of Hormuz Incident": There was almost a huge showdown at sea when US warships received a transmission from Iranian gunboats saying, "I'm coming at you! You will explode in two minutes!" Poorly worded, but still pretty scary. Jon attempted to translate the Iranian side of the transmission by dragging in hapless Aasif Mandvi. Even though Mandvi and Dorito-munching Rob Riggle were only onscreen for, like, two minutes, it was still nice to see correspondents sticking around.

In some less angry news, President Bush and his new BFFs, Israeli President Peres and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, had a nice vacay together. Of course, no vacation is complete without severe ass-kissing and a little girl singing a foreign version of "Over the Rainbow" while distributing roses. By the way, I've learned that I will always laugh just a little too hard whenever Jon does that stupid high-pitched "Hellooo!" or, in this case, "Shalooom!" Oh, it gets me every time.
