Check out this video, the dean of Columbia University* clearly states that “if Hitler were alive today, he would be invited to speak at Columbia.” How did such a dimwitted baboon get to be dean at an Ivy League university?
He tries to make himself out to be I’m-Mr.-Openness-in-a-world-of-ideas: “I know what Hitler believes is despicable, but if he is willing to take questions from Columbia students then sure, he can speak here.” (I paraphrased because I don’t have the stomach to look at his idiotic talking face again to get the quote right.)
Doesn’t the brainless turd dean realize that he is legitimizing Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s Jew-hating message by giving him a platform to speak from at prestigious Columbia University?
What an idiot – but what would you expect from the dean of the school who gave tenure to Edward Said? (Remember him – he was the professor who went to Lebanon and threw rocks at Israelis – my hero.)
Visit this Facebook group or go here if you want to join the protest on Monday in New York.
*Actually, he is the acting dean of the School of International and Public Affairs.

I have already mentioned this once before - it is very important for Jewish people to eat kreplach today (Erev Yom Kippur) - very good for your soul. Read this old post for details. Your next chance to reap the benefits of this important spiritual exercise is Wednesday, October 3.
Listen to this great MP3 to learn more about Yom Kippur.

This judge is my hero. He sentences people busted for playing their music too loud with an hour of Barry Manilow. “I can’t laugh, I can’t sing, I am finding it hard to do anything” – I would feel that way too if I had to listen to Barry for one hour straight.
Most violators found the first few minutes funny. As time wore on with Karen Carpenter, Barry Manilow and Barney songs, they weren’t laughing anymore.
Extremely profound – prison, fines – why slap an offender on the wrist when you can subject him to the same pain he causes others?
The offenders were usually blasting rap - what would happen if they cranked Barry in this judge’s town? An hour of snoop dog?

The hype is that anti-Semitism is alive and well in central Florida. During Rosh Hashanah services the cops were called to do something about the illegally parked cars. According to eyewitnesses, the cops were rude, aggressive and eager to bust some heads (or at least send some Jews to the clink).
I heard through the grapevine that the neighbors call the police every Shabbos to complain about the “Jews gathering to pray.” According to the news report, a student was arrested. Eyewitnesses say the real story is:
A girl mumbled, “Thanks for ruining our new year” while passing by a police officer. He replied, “what did you say?” and grabbed her by the arm, twisting it behind her back and pushing her against the police car. A boy (the student referred to in the news report) stepped in and said, “you can’t do that, if you take her, take me too.” The cop released the girl and arrested the boy instead.
Is this a real case of new-age-Southern Jew-lynching or just a community stressed about the holiday traffic? I don’t know, but everyone needs to chill out - Rosh Hashanah only happens once a year and if Shabbos traffic is overwhelming, maybe everyone can chip in and help the shul build a parking lot.

Look at this – the Jewish people have a new ambassador – Esther Ritchie (better know by her pre-tshuva name Madonna).
Esther is in Israel for a Kabbalah conference along with other notable Jewish spokespeople and including movie star Demi Moore and her husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, Rosie O’Donnell, fashion designer Donna Karan and of course Esther’s film director husband Guy Ritchie.
While in Israel, Esther met with Israeli President Shimon Peres and presented him with an autographed copy of the “Book of Splendor.”
“You don’t know how popular the Book of Splendor is among Hollywood actors,” Yediot [an Israeli newspaper] quoted Madonna [Esther] as telling Peres. “Everyone I meet talks to me only about that. I am an ambassador for Judaism.”
Isn’t this great?

I hate to sound like a broken record – but what happened to all that great global warming they have been promising? Boston is freezing and it is August! (There was “smoke” coming out of my mouth when I was walking to shul this morning and everything).
Look what it is like in NYC – it was only 59° yesterday.
I am dreaming of the pleasant December day, when I can take my towel down to the banks of the Charles for a mid-afternoon dip. Drive your car and spray more deodorant – we need to warm this planet up!

When professional athletes reach a certain age, they acknowledge (even if somewhat begrudgingly) that they are past their prime and that it is time to move on. Not so with aging rock stars – they just keep on going, prancing around like teenagers and wearing lipstick and eyeliner. There is nothing wrong with old musicians – in some genres age is actually an asset, adds an air of maturity and sophistication – but in rock n roll some of these old hags can be downright pathetic.
One rocker breaking this trend and aging gracefully is Eddie Van Halen. Check out this clip of Van Halen from back in the day:
You Really Got Me
Eddie was the man – young, long hair, thin – he had it all (true, Dave’s moves do look a little silly - but this was very cool back then).
Now look at this:
Eruption
Eddie is a middle-aged rocker now – but notice, he is not jumping around like a goofball – he is acting the part of a senior statesman of rock n roll, tastefully displaying his talents in a musical display of bravado. He is still the king on guitar and he is clearly still a virtuoso – and isn’t that just how it should be?
I think there are more then a few rockers out there who could learn a thing or two from Eddie – leave the theatrics for the youngsters.

This guy is so obviously Jewish.
[Daveed Gartenstein-Ross] began to examine his own spiritual identity after experiencing a couple of brushes with death caused by illness. “That kind of thing can cause spiritual discomfort and make you reevaluate what it is that you’re living for,” he told CNN. A college friend introduced him to Islam and he was intrigued by its peaceful message. “Islam was a very simple faith and as I learned more and more about it, it seemed more and more fascinating to me,” he said.
Obviously, the best place for a nice Jewish boy to find Spirituality is Islam.
He experimented with a radical form of Islam that eventually led him to shun music, reject women’s rights and even refuse to touch dogs because he believed this was “according to God’s will.”
Just as obvious – no Jew could “just be a Muslim,” he had to be a radical one.
And when Islam doesn’t do it, what next?
A year later, he converted to Christianity and was eventually baptized in the Baptist church.
Dude, just be Jewish – it is ok – we won’t make fun of you, really.

Check this out - it is me (the “Jew”) dancing with an Arab in the west bank. Saving the world one dance at a time. Maybe I should start a new group - Boogie Without Borders or something like that - any suggestions?

Still another video “script.”
Men, your wife needs to talk.
When she talks, she speaks out her feelings – she sees that you understand her, validate her emotions, and this makes her feel better – it makes her feel very good about you and your relationship.
When she starts talking, she will probably be emotional, and you are probably somehow the cause of her troubles. She will launch into a tirade, filled with wild exaggerations, seemingly directed at you.
Because you are a thickheaded half-monkey (i.e. the typical male), your giant (yet fragile) ego will be bruised, you will get defensive, and your most natural instinct will be to speak up and defend yourself.
WATCH OUT – this is a trap!
Keep your mouth shut, at all costs, don’t say anything – anything you do or say can and WILL be used against you.
Let her talk. Smile, be concerned, empathetic, understanding – and listen to her. Let her know you are listening by saying “Umm” “Uh huh” “Oh really” “Did she really say that?” “I am sorry, that must have really upset you” at points along the way.
When she is done, she will feel good, she got it all out and she knows that you care and understand. She will thank you for being a great husband, a good listener, kind, understanding, and exactly what she needs.
Your only job is to sit on your hands, bite your tongue, let her talk, and don’t be a defensive, stupid male.
