For pi lovers...

Are you serious?

In recent news, NYC Government approved allowing a mosque to be built two blocks from ground zero, the former World Trade Center. This seems like pouring salt on the wound.  I realize that it sounds racist if you are opposed to such a move because to do so indicates that all Muslims around the world and here in NY are complacent for the 9/11 attacks but seriously people have a little tact.  I am sorry to all the the peace loving, America loving Muslims out there, but this seems ridiculous.  Anyway, you can read about here.

something is very wrong here

1. Go to Google Translator 
2. Translate AIDS from English to Yiddish 
3. Copy that word back into the translation box
4. Translate that word from Yiddish to English
5. Now what?

on grammar

This is beautiful

Thank you Mor for posting this.  I think this an incredible story that is clearly far from over...

Happy Birthday to me...

Friday night, I made a 4 pound roast from Romanian, thanks mom. I had 6 incredible guests over for Shabbos Friday night and among the many things on the menu, this roast was the center of it all. Thank G-d for leftovers. Today, I brought leftovers to work and somehow they tasted better then coming out of the oven. I am not sure how, but today, the meat was so soft and juicy. Anyway, since I obviously could not take a picture Friday night as I took it out of the oven, below are the leftovers, gorgeous as they are...

 

"You Lied to Me, Jew Producer": Comedy Central Shocker

I would say that I cannot believe I am reading this, but of course I can. Hatred of Israel and antisemitism is sadly once again becoming mainstream. Recently Comedy Central launched a game on their website called: "I.S.R.A.E.L. Attack!" Please do not be fooled into thinking I.S.R.A.E.L. has anything to do with the geographical location. check out the Honest Reporting article
This is ample proof how skewed American satire has gotten. Making fun of Muslims is taboo, but Jews? What's the problem? Let's not for a second forget that this type of thing only adds to propaganda and the education of a new generation of impressionable youth. Any parent that lets their child go online and plays a video game like this is probably not going to sit down have and have a lesson on tolerance and racism.

FAIL

I was present when this was take...it actually exists.  Naming the FAIL is the tricky part...

Can't sleep? Maybe your head thinks it's daytime..

Thank you Yehuda Brum for posting this very interesting article about technology hurting our sleep patterns.
click here to check out the link.  Watching a movie or checking your email from your ipod, ipad, computer, etc. just before hitting the sack may in fact be inadvertently telling your mind that it is daytime and therefore keeping you up.  I strongly encourage you to read this article as it probably effects us all.

This is refreshing

If Gov Chris Christie is half as good as a Govorner as this speech, New Jersey has a great chance of new leadership. Yitz Glass found this video and it is amazing.
 
The speech seems to surreal it reminds me of a movie, hmm...

When you say "Kadhafi" I say...Human Right Council?

In recent news, the UN Human Rights Council has proven once again how absolutley pointless they are.
Libya has been elected to UN Human Rights Council.

Libya? Are you kidding me? What exactly is the litmus test for being a member of that council? I thought they were a council with the goal of preventing Human Rights violations? Did I get that wrong, or is the new focus to gather all of the world's greatest violators and charge them with the responsibility of enforcing human rights. It's as tactful as putting oil tycoons in charge of preventing global warming: a good joke around the office but nothing you would dare put into practice. The UN Human Rights Council has proved once again, they lack any sense of effectiveness and purpose.  The only good one can cite from this situation is that this serves as a prime example why any criticism coming out of the the HR Council lacks any legitimacy.

How funny is Lewis Black, let me count the ways...

Elie Klein posted this to Facebook. I didn't realize that Back in Black was back on the Daily Show.  What's great about it is that it forces Lewis Black in his unique comic style to keep his material clean.  Below is Elie's find and then one of my favorites from years ago.

This is what we are up against

Thank you for posting this Shella.  It is a little scary to think about the fact that right here in America we are surrounded by people who would like nothing more then for the Jewish people to be swept up in a second holocaust.  It also serves as a reminder that we must never allow ourselves to feel completely safe here in chutz l'aretz.  There is and has always been only one place a Jew can call home and that is Israel.

The Downfall-A Reenactment

The original trailer for The Downfall can be found below: Some of the bunker scene is in the trailer...


The next clip is a reenactment of the bunker scene which is the most famous scene in the movie.if you have never seen the entire scene, you may not appreciate is as well, but it's good...

Happy Mother's Day

Obama the Muslim? You decide...

This is probably about to get pulled from youtube:
