Aren't Orthodox Jewish men supposed to wear yarmulkes? Joe Lieberman sure as hell doesn't—or am I the only one who hasn't spotted it? Did Gore tell him off the record, "Look, it will be hard enough to get a Jew that close to the White House in this country--ditch the beanie?" Goodness knows, Lieberman can't utter a single sentence without dragging God in kicking and screaming, I'd be surprised if he agreed to that.

I dunno about the yarmulkes (maybe only on the sabbath?), but I'm wondering if Lieberman might alienate the black population in the upcoming election. Unfortunatly, alot of blacks are very anti-semitic.

Thanks for pointing me there, Izzy—good readin'!

I don't know WHO I'm going to vote for this year, now that Snoopy and Pat Paulsen are both dead. I certainly don't care for Bush, Gore OR their running mates, for various reasons. Is Alfred E. Newman running?
