George Bush Did The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Even Though He Doesn't Think It's "Presidential"
“I do not think it’s presidential for me to be splashed with ice water.”
George Bush did the ALS ice bucket challenge after being nominated by "several Americans," including his daughter, Jenna Bush Hager.
At first he said he just planned on writing a check to ALS because dousing oneself with a bucket of ice cold water is not presidential.
"I do not think it's presidential for me to be splashed with ice water."
Clearly his wife disagreed.
"OW!"

How Harvard Law Students Are Showing Support For Michael Brown And Ferguson
“Even though we are students at one of the most prestigious institutions in the world, we are still subject to the same prejudices and biases that possibly led to Michael Brown’s death.”
Harvard Black Law Students Association / Via Twitter: @Harvard_Law
Though most colleges haven't even started classes yet, that hasn't stopped those who are already on campus from raising their voices in solidarity with Michael Brown and the community of Ferguson, Mo.
Students at Howard University organized a picture for their incoming freshman class with their hands raised in the air, symbolizing Brown's alleged last words after he put his hands up at the officer saying "don't shoot."
Other schools like Morehouse and Spelman have since followed suit.
On Aug. 15, the Harvard Black Law Students Association posted a similar photo on social media with their hands raised, and also announced the launch of their #HandsUpDontShoot campaign. The students and alumni involved in making the photo collage made it clear that the picture is just the jumping off point of a much larger civil rights campaign that will focus on police brutality and how black Americans are treated by U.S. law enforcement.
"The reality is that even though we are students at one of the most prestigious institutions in the world, we are still subject to the same prejudices and biases that possibly led to Michael Brown's death," McKenzie Morris, president of the HBLSA, told BuzzFeed. "In the wake of the killings of unarmed victims Eric Garner, Ezell Ford, and now Michael Brown, there is no time like the present to get active."
Morris said students who are currently on Harvard's campus coordinated the photo, collected individual pictures from other students who weren't physically present, created a basic mission for their #HandsUpDontShoot campaign, and wrote a press release all within 24 hours. The HBLSA wants other friends, classmates, and peers outside of their organization to also get involved because "this problem is not a problem that only affects black Americans, but all Americans."
Harvard Black Law Students Association / Via Twitter: @HarvardBLSA
"We must utilize the resources available to us at Harvard Law School to ideally bring about change in more tangible ways," Morris said, "such as legislation reform and civil rights activism training."
She added, "If we don't address police brutality as a whole then unfortunate killings like Michael Brown's might continue. No matter their upbringing, socioeconomic level, or educational background, black Americans share the same fear when they walk down the streets of this country. This unfortunate incident could happen to any of us, so we felt the need to stand for a continued cause."
Students have started to brainstorm how to affect change for this national issue locally by working with city politicians and law enforcement. Morris said the HBLSA is hard at work so that as soon as everyone arrives back on campus to begin the semester, students can jump right in. Right now, some of their ideas include workshops, guest speakers, and lunch discussions.
"A few years ago we stood in solidarity for Trayvon Martin in a picture of hooded members of HBLSA," she said. "Sadly, we are still in the same position today. We are all fortunate to be students at Harvard Law School, and it is our responsibility to use our legal educations to speak up on issues that affect us all."
Morris added, "Raising awareness through a powerful picture is a good start, but there is so much more to be done."

UK Still Allowing Arms Exports To Israel Because The Resumption Of Hostilities Is Not "Significant"
The business secretary announced last week that the government would end arms exports if military hostilities started again.
Ahmed Zakot / Reuters
The government is still allowing companies to export arms to Israel, despite last week announcing that it would suspend licences if there was a return to military action in the Middle East.
After weeks of pressure from protesters, the government said last Tuesday it would suspend 12 export licences for "components which could be part of equipment used by the Israel Defence Forces in Gaza" if military action was to resume. The licences cover equipment that could be used for tanks, radar, and aircraft.
The announcement was made when Palestinian and Israeli officials had agreed to a temporary ceasefire but Tuesday saw a return to hostilities after rockets from Gaza landed in southern Israel.
But a government spokesperson told BuzzFeed that the licences have not yet been suspended. The spokesperson said: "We said we would suspend licenses if there was a significant resumption of hostilities.
"We are closely monitoring the situation. Our assessment so far is that the resumption of hostilities has been limited."
It is believed the government is keeping close contact with the British embassy in Israel and the Foreign Office to monitor the situation.

Hip-Hop's Top Tier Goes Silent On Ferguson
Superstars like Jay Z, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne — fitful allies in the fight for civil rights — may be suffering from outrage fatigue.
Ethan Miller / Via Reuters
Like most people who rap for a living, J. Cole, 29, never experienced the worst of Ferguson, Mo. He never smelled the awful musk of tear gas, or feared for his life in a McDonald's parking lot. His connection to Michael Brown, the unarmed 18-year-old slain in the St. Louis suburb by a police officer 10 days ago, stops at his brown skin and love of hip-hop. But still he wrote a song.
"Be Free," recorded and released less than a week after Brown's death, is a punch in the gut: all mournful keyboards and pained, cracking vocals. Cole sings as if the loss of Brown's life is personal and momentous, like his own humanity has been bound up, gagged, and set on the brink. The song's anguish manages to read as authentic, and it has resonated as such with many onlookers who have watched what's happening in Ferguson from live streams and Twitter feeds and struggled to find words.
"Are we all alone? Fighting on our own?" he pleads, in between real, heartbreaking audio excerpts of the testimony of Brown's friend, Dorian Johnson. "All we want to do is take the chains off, all we want to do is take the chains off, man."
Protest songs in the wake of a crisis, from Woody Guthrie and the Dust Bowl, to Creedence Clearwater Revival and Vietnam, are an American tradition. As an art form, they distill the anger and confusion of unjust circumstances into cathartic, relatable bursts: disaffection in digest. In hip-hop, protest songs have most often been concerned with civil rights — a logical function of a music that was invented and is still, mostly, ruled by historically disadvantaged people.
In the late '80s, Public Enemy and NWA defined themselves in part by raging against an earlier wave of police brutality against black people. In 2005, Lil Wayne and Mos Def recorded some of the most pointed and potent songs of their prolific careers in response to the Bush administration's indifference to Hurricane Katrina survivors. And in 2013, Jay Z made a habit of dedicating his song "Forever Young" to slain black teenager Trayvon Martin.
