Has the White House traveled back in time and space to the Mad Men era? To a place in time where women are 2nd class citizens and were refused equal opportunities?
Most people would say, “of course not”. But there are those who disagree.
Just ask Terry O’Neill the president for the National Organizatin of Women (NOW) [...]

Mad Men Era Lives On in the White House
President Obama’s New Hardware: Nobel Peace Prize
Wow, two semi-political posts in a row. For a non-partisan blog that is a lot.
But once again, it would be impossible to ignore this elephant in the room.
Optimistic at best presumptuous at worse, President Obama’s recent Nobel Peace Prize award really pushes the envelope of credibilty.
Rabbi Zelik Epstein, Of Blessed Memory
Yesterday, the Jewish world lost a spiritual giant (good article worth reading). Rabbi Zelik Epstein, Rosh Yeshiva of Shaar Hatorah in Queens passed away. He was 97.
R’ Zelik was a relic of the past. He studied Torah in Europe with some the greatest Torah scholars of recent American Jewry, including Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and Rabbi [...]

Human Beings Are Social Beings
I have had my critiques of David Brooks from the NY Times.
But today, I think he got it right. Really right. Like, 100% right.
He was asked about the “Big Three”. No, not GM, Ford, Chrysler. No, not Harvard, Yale, Princeton. Not, Clemenceau, Wilson, George either.
The new Big Three is Guns, Gays and Abortion.
Green Post
Green.
It used to be an innocent color. Now, it means so much more.
Previously, I talked about the Torah approach to Earth Day. Today, I am going to take a brief dip into Green Politics. Normally, I steer clear of politics. One exception was when I wrote about Political Discrimination. Now that technology gives us the [...]
Political Discrimination
Yesterday I wrote about tolerance. Democracy is built on tolerance. We are each entitled to our opinions and are not subject to discrimination based on our political beliefs.
We all love democracy. It sure beats the alternatives.
One major benefit to democracy is the right to voice your opinion anonymously in a vote. That is how we [...]
