Yiddishical Utterances

Oy!!!


I have a strange, seemingly genetic disposition to utter these words. Is this a part of the Jewish genome? Perhaps this is true, as I can’t think of anything else to explain this genetic disorder. What is a worry to me is that this means that Judaism is more than just a religion, culture, or even ethnicity.

I call out to the god of Abraham, Issac and Jacob to explain this to me. I know I am not a god fearing, or even believing person, but there must be some explanation. That, or I just wish I was an old Jew in Brooklyn who works during the day as a shoemaker and at night as a Shecky Green impersonator. Stranger things have happened.

I did for a long period of time quote Walter Cronkite for no apparent reason. I just wanted to be trusted as a man. Isn’t that what women want? “And that’s the way it is” right?

Official Anouncements and stuff...

I am a certified man. One with a certificate (in the mail). Its true, no one can ever take this away. Hopefully this certificate will bring me more acclaim and work than my handy "fake MD" and "Bar Passed" certificate. I only got to sue myself for medical malpractice which i thought was very rude...

ANYWAYS...

For anyone who is actually reading this... anyone? anyone? I have become a certified agent of KAOS. Thats right, the god of order and all things good in the world (its very confusing I know). Now he permits me to perform my act of honoring him every friday morning from 6-9 am through the air and web waves. He is a trickster god, but a very predictable one as well, with a schedule and all the goodies.

So yeah, bullshit aside, I have a new show on KAOS

It starts this friday, give it a listen will ya?

I'll start posting show information if interested. Check it out at kaosradio.org. Thats an organization y'all.

Please, Please, Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Ridge Crushing Their Heads


First things first, I think this interview proves that Rachel Maddow is the best debater on television. She makes her points known, and challenges others, but doesn't lie, cheat, or intimidate in order to make her point. I think she should be applauded for this. Honestly.

Also, I must say, Tom Ridge, what's your problem? Why are you so scared of just admitting what you have already said? I know he says that the hullabalo about his book is taken out of context (that there was political pressure on him to raise the fabulously color coded terror alert system), but from what has been laid out, it seems hard to believe that.

If there was pressure to raise the terror alert based on politics, then we have an issue. That would be akin to using any other government agency or organization to aid a presidential administration. Hell, at least Nixon had his people do the Watergate break-in on their off hours. Also, this negates the entire purpose of their being such a system in the first place. The fact that he seemingly admitted this, and had strong feelings on it, in his book is a powerful statement, yet his unwillingness to follow along with the common understanding is more fascinating.

Is he blaming this issue on his PR? I understand the need to buy books, but to have on the cover of your book a statement that you don't seem to believe in is quite suspicious. He must not have a good enough ghost writer, or maybe his ghost writer knows more than Tom Ridge is will to let out. Either way, you should watch this interview:

Part 1

Part 2
