Posted in: More action needed on gay rights, groups say
there are some Jewish groups that want to radicalize the presidency in support of each and every leftist policy; and there are others who oppose his policies on every issue from health care to negotiations wih Korea. and then there are those Jewish groups who realize that they totally diffuse their influence and credibility as Jewish organizations if they weigh in on every issue under the sun; to those who exercise some restraint, a hearty Yashar Koach!!

Jews don't send a heart - they send kishka
Posted in: NYU suspends pro-Gazan students following protest
the irony of the whole thing is that the only reason any of these students care a bit about Gaza is that Israel has become a proxy for anti-Americanism. It's an easy target; and you can let loose a bit of your pent-up antisemitism in the bargain.
Posted in: What kind of meat do Jewish food activists eat?
This is a group of the most self-absorbed, spoiled, and delusional effetes ever assembled. They bow to every possible PC blather - local foods, etc. having nothing to do with anything ethical other than the romance of a past which never existed. They fly in a shoichet with absolutely no experience only because he may share their self-professed idealism. The kosher meat business isn't pretty; it's messy both in physical terms and in the sense that it has a fine line to walk between profitability, legitimacy, and kashrut. It's wonderful to play grown-up for a day and kill 3 goats for chulent, or to play kill-the-turkey on dress-up day; those are activities for seventh-graders, not for adults. If these guys think they can recreate a kosher food business that will deliver reasonably priced kosher meat to the vast array of consumers throughout the country, let them show us a business plan; otherwise, go back to your granola sandwiches and wait until you go home to mommy for a bowl of chicken soup

Posted in: Y.U. acknowledges $110 million hit in Madoff scandal
No institution of higher learning has been so careless with its resources and so trusting of hotshot money men who spread around a few bucks as donations and then turn around and steal 100 times as much through schemes. YU has never adopted the proper "chinese wall" strategy to ensure that board members and others in authority are devoid of conflicts-of-interests. There must be a complete revolution in the way YU acts along all fiscal areas - accountability, transparency, and independent review of all expenditures, investments, and director relationships.
Posted in: To save cash, Yoffie raises possibility of merging Reform, Conservative shuls
A real proposal - merge the duplicative offices, staffs, mailing lists, fund-raising and spending efforts of the two movements. The administrative efforts of maintaining two "brands", each of which is a force for spending more money on fewer users or members would be the real way to save.

Posted in: Franken recount victory leaves Senate without Jewish GOPers
07/02/09 04:08 AM
what's more amazing is that Franken is the third Jewish holder of the same Senate seat. It's like there's a senate seat from Minnesota reserved for a New York Jew. It's even more amazing is that in neighboring Wisconsin which has fewer Jews than polar bears, there are 2 Jewish Senators. It's like being a Senator is the new occupation of choice - I guess the hours are better than obstetrician or even Chazzan.
