“Thank you, thank you very much, I’ll be here all week, and don’t forget to tip your wait-person. Unless of course she is a woman, in which case you may whip her with a car antenna if she dishonors you.”
I truly wonder how seriously America takes this man. The left seems to be ignoring him. How does this make left leaning Jews feel?
I don’t know any Jew that doesn’t connect with his culture if not his religion. (Jeff can correct me if I am wrong)
Jewish heritage is an intregal part of who they are. I can’t see the left leaning Jews in this country ignoring this or allowing the Democrats to do so. Do they also recognize that it is the Republicans who seem to be the ones shocked and dismayed by the statments and actions of this insane leader of Iran?
First time in a while watching any (live) late night TV and I catch just the one joke from Leno’s monologue:
Iran’s President is serious about attacking the west, but it’s not all bad. A voiced-over clip is then run of him giving a speech announcing that all the west will burn in nuclear fire except for one lucky person… Reese Witherspoon! Cue supercrazyexcited award show footage of Witherspoon.
Silly? Yes.
Funny? Good as Leno’s jokes go.
Appropriate? That seems to be the tough question, I guess. Will jokes like this be inappropriate after they verifiably have the bomb? After they nuke Israel? After they nuke a part of Europe?

It has always amazed me the number of Jews that vote for Democrats. I think Lieberman is the only Democrat in the party who cares a whit whether Israel survives. They must have inherited the FDR syndrom.
Did anyone actually read the article all the way through?
It is almost a dead-on satire of all of the inherent problems with an organization like the United Nations. From committees to referrals to veto powers, to making their caae before a tribunal, etc., etc., etc.
Meanwhile a guy who has repeatedly stated his desire to see another country wiped off the map, goes about his daily business of acquiring nuclear weapons.
Yeah refer him to a committee, that’ll scare him. And of course, they can’t even get the votes to do that…

Are Jews a religion, an ethnicity, a people, a nation, a culture?
The most accurate answer is all of the above. And that confuses both Jews and non-Jews because there is no other major modern group that falls into all these categories. […]
One can become a Jew solely by affirmation of the Jewish religion (just as one can become a Christian by affirmation of Christianity) or solely by being born to a Jewish parent (originally the father, through most of Jewish history the mother, in Reform Judaism today the father or the mother).
That is why there can be atheist and secular Jews—just as there can be atheist and secular Americans even though the country’s values are Judeo-Christian. But that is also why any person in the world, no matter what race, ethnicity or religion his or her parents are, can become a member of the Jewish people through religious conversion.
That is also why there can be self-hating Jews—people born Jewish who devote their lives to harming the Jewish people—because no one born a Jew can be read out of the Jewish people. It’s probably a good thing. But not always.

I dunno. Will the force of the blast be enough to shatter the 3-feet thick hard plastic shells of their cocoons?
I think some of these people won’t realize something’s wrong until the flesh starts dripping off their bones. Q.v., Sarah Connor’s dream sequence in “Terminator 2”.
Nuclear war seems to be a game with first-mover advantage. I don’t see any reason to play this diplomatic opera through, let’s just get makin’ with the fallout. ‘Course, I’m a cynical, nihilistic, panphobic bastard. It’s cathartic.
I shouldn’t comment on a person’s appearance, but his eyes are really close to together. He may be retarded or something. He has sharp weasel like features. I’m sure I saw him spreading pixie dust on the tilt-a-wirl at the county fair last summer.
Everyone is assuming that Israel will take out the Iranian bomb with a first strike – what if France did instead? I know about the whole French surrender thing, but the truth is that France is pretty hard-assed when they feel the need. So, what if?
Who would be more astonished? The right, which would now have to cheer something done by the French gov’t, or the left, which would be outraged by the same?
I suspect France woke up at least a bit after the riots and the discovery of the bomb factories &c. The idea of the same kind of people with the bomb and delivery systems “suggesting” that France change its policies vis a vis Muslims and Sharia vs. enforced secularism likely has them thinking. As Jay noted, the French can be pretty hard-assed when they want to be. Perhaps they’re finally getting over WWI and the losses they suffered and are ready to take a stand.
Stop.

Jeff, still using a Mac? Check out Comic Life if you haven’t already. I’ve never used it myself, but it creates a similar effect.

– Well my cup runneth over then Darleen…..Coming from a half goyem half jooooish family I get to do GUILT AND SHAME!
Please. My friends who were raised Jewish and Catholic seem to feel they cornered the market on guilt.
Try being born into a Methodist family.
Try killing your parents with an axe.
That gives you the guilts, for sure.

All jokes are appropriate at all times.
All reactions to themâ€â€not so.
“Father, why can’t we go to Tel Aviv?”
“Because it is still too radioactive after Iran bombed it before you were born.”
“Father, what’s Iran?”
Nothing’s changed, I still love you
Oh, I still love you–only slightly only slightly less than I used to.

The mind boggles.
To be honest, I wouldn’t want any European power ready to kick my rear. They’d make the US look like wimps. They don’t have the restraint we do.

Not me, but YMMV.
Seeing the word ‘axe’ that close to parents flogs my heart into overdrive and the grin nearly wraps ‘round my head.
