  • Can you tell it’s a slow work day?

    Best news about Ann Coulter so far today (hey, the day is young, she could still get run over by a truck, which would eclipse this story): direct lift from the Subversive Cross Stitch blog: Seems that some truly subversive and possibly off-balance soul hand-delivered a card to Ms. Coulter’s mailbox in Florida and, according…

  • The Meaning of Chanukah

  • Things I hear while wearing a kippah, #1

    I’m thinking this is a good idea for a new website, but in the meantime, here’s my first entry: Last night, in the parking lot at Costco while putting my purchases in the car, a man who was in line with me stops and says, I’m glad… I’m glad you celebrate your Jew-ry. I think…
