The paper today had several articles about Israel's 60th birthday. Even though I know the date May 14th as well as I know July 4th, I couldn't figure out why the articles were in the paper today. Yom Ha'atzmaut was last week.
Really, it took a few minutes before I remembered that a) today is May 14th and b) Yom Ha'atzmaut is celebrated on the 5th of Iyar and not the 14th of May.
Now it all makes sense...
Observations and confabulations (you decide which is which)

Oh my God- I had the same reaction! When I saw that President Bush was in Israel today to celebrate the 60th anniversary I thought, well, he doesn't get very much right, so this just must be another example.
