I Now Pronounce You Wife and Wife
An “anti-hate” group is hatin’ on Rep. Keith Ellison, saying he shouldn’t be on an anti-anti-Semitism task force. Shut the Bleep up. We’ll take all the anti-anti-Semitism folks out there, whatever their religions/nationalities/ backgrounds.
Well I guess selling pot is one (stupid and illegal) way for a Jew to get by in a bad economy… But really? Oy.
Jewish couple booted from cruise ship after fighting back against an anti-Semitic comment. Get ready for the legal papers!
Thanks to CNN for firing another anti-Semitic and stupid news pundit. R.I.P. Rick Sanchez.

An unscientific yet conservative analysis by the Forward found that about 13.5% of MacArthur recipients over the past decade are Jewish. Arthur Hu, a Seattle programmer who studies overachieving ethnic groups, used a less cautious method to land at 15% between 1981 and 1997. Jews comprise about 2.2% of America’s population. As it turns out, even within the umbrella of creativity, more Jewish MacArthur winners were in the sciences than in any other discipline.
To be sure, there are many Jewish MacArthur nonscientists. For example, in 1989 alone, Jewish poet Allen Grossman, Yiddishist Aaron Lansky, and historian Theodore Rosengarten won. But the more widely heralded brand of Jewish intelligence has been the hard sciences, where Jews have historically been more heavily overrepresented: Of medical Nobel Prize recipients, 27% have been Jewish; 20% of those in chemistry; and 26% of those in physics — numbers that dwarf literature’s 12% and the Nobel Peace Prize’s 9%. . .
Here is an excellent commentary from Jerusalem Post on Bill Clinton’s recent revelation about immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (The Russians) and the peace process:
