It’s unlikely that a rabbi a priest and a minister would EVER walk into a bar together. ---

Excuse me, but given how “liberal” for the past forty years has been used as a perjorative meaning “Godless Communist baby-killing unAmerican adulterist,” applied to anyone even a smidgen to the left, and that’s on a _good_ day, having “conservative” be the shorthand label for “bat-shit insane” is all right by me. ---

What have I been saying these last years?? If it weren’t for Those Scary Muslims, Jews would be the scapegoats of Western civilization. I mean, even as late as, what, the 1950’s, Jewish people were perceived, especially by Old Money, as second-class citizens. Only since a larger percentage of Middle Eastern immigrants have shown up in the last half-century has the Upper Crust decided, “I guess we can let the Goldsteins in at the country club.” On the other hand, Tucker Carlson doesn’t read a lot of the memos. ---

Try using interpretive dance. Drawing isn’t for everyone. Among other idiocy, Nancy Mace has given herself a nickname: “National Nancy.” You can’t give yourself a nickname, dummy. ---
