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
Crosses Honor Fallen Soldiers of All Faiths
We took the family to Santa Monica Pier on Sunday and our six year old son proved to be smarter than a Supreme Court Justice!
It is so beautiful to walk along the beach and observe all the excitement along the boardwalk and pier. As always, we had a great time in Santa Monica.
For the last [...]
NASA Spending Millions To Find Water On The Moon
Am I missing something?
Normally I stay out of politics. But I think this issue transcends politics.
Friday October 9, 2009 at approximately 7:31 AM EST NASA is going to bomb the moon. This is an exercise designed to confirm or deny the existence of water on the moon. Video of the anticipated explosion is below.
The cost [...]
Today’s Sign The Apocalypse Is Upon Us
Yesterday morning I received a blogging gift.
Sometimes there is just not much to write and that’s every bloggers worst nightmare. I had a few things that were on my mind that I wished to share but none of those ideas fermented into anything worth posting.
I love blogging and I think it is important to supply [...]
Authentic Judaism and Authentic Charity
This post is really two Public Service Announcements.
Please read both and if you are able to help in any way possible, it is much appreciated.
One great thing about blogging is the opportunity to connect with other people for the sake of an important cause. Today, I present you with two important causes.
Brett Favre, Treason and Teshuva
This week’s big sports news involved my favorite athlete to hate, Brett Favre.
I mentioned Favre a while back in a post about immaturity and athletes. Back then, I was contrasting the complimentary way in which Favre is recognized for his youthful exuberance and the way athletes who act immaturely and hold out for money or [...]
Have You Been Invited To A Brachos Party Or An Amen Party?
This post has been cross-posted to DovBear – more discussion there.
The newswires have been full reporting the massive scandal in NY / NJ the last few days. There is a strong correlation between the scandal and something prevalent in contemporary Orthodox Jewish society.
You may think you are far from a money-laundering, tax evading, kidney-dealing, FBI [...]
How Many Is Too Many?
This post has been cross-posted to DovBear – more discussion there.
An article on Ynet.com featured on VIN caught my ire this afternoon.
The writer, a woman, calls upon all Orthodox Jews to reject “the evil feminists” of Kolech and “have as many children as possible, as soon as possible”. For there is no [...]
Shame on Gizmodo | Shame on Us Too
One of my favorite gadget blogs ran a discpicable headline for a post yesterday. Gizmodo is a great blog when it comes to getting information, reviews and opinions on the latest technology and gadgets. Unfortunately, yesterday they disgraced their reputation with a pretty offensive headline.
The headline garnered enough attention that they ultimately changed it to [...]
Misleading Charity Campaign
A Religious charity in Israel has embarked on what I and many others feel to be a misleadeing charity campaign.
Promises 0f safety from danger, special perks and privileges and out of context quotes from great Rabbis permeate the campaign.
I wrote all ab0ut in on DovBear. You can check it out by clicking below.
I Am So Disturbed
UPDATE: Friday morning 6/25/09 I updated the post to more accurately reflect the protagonist’s personality.
I am so disturbed right now.
My wife and I have a summer camp for pre-school children in Monsey NY. That is why we left Los Angeles / Venice for the summer. We don’t own our own camp grounds so during the year [...]
Atheists and Believers LA Times Smackdown
“Flamewar” is a prolonged exchange of deliberately hostile messages over the Internet. – Wikipedia
Last week I blogged about the battle of the wings. The political Left Wing and the Right Wing are battling it out to the death.
The vitriol and hyperbole on both sides is so disproportionate with reality. Left wingers are not communists and [...]
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 [...]
Disturbing Poll of the Day
Look, I enjoy sports. (Go Lakers). But this is getting ridiculous!
Nearly 48 thousand people have voted (as of this posting) on the current poll in ESPN.com that asks the following query:
Who do you know more about?
- Potential First Round Picks in the NFL Draft
- People in your office/class
I am surprised by the results.
Your Unique Voice and A Kafkaesque Experience
Last week, Facebook disabled my account. No explanation, no reason, no apology, just gone.
There are terms that each member of Facebook agrees to abide by and I have not violated any of those terms. I have emailed Facebook asking for an explanation or at the very least an acknowledgement that my account has been disabled. [...]
Do Not Send Your Money To Nigeria!
I just found this on the NY Times website. Citibank is my bank. I love their service and they have a great online banking website. Unfortunately there are people who run the bank who may have brains the size of peanuts (not very big).
We all get emails that try to elicit our personal information. The [...]
Comments On America's Standard of Living
Today I read about the declining standard of living in our country. Salaries are coming down, more and more people are getting laid off and credit is harder to find.
“Rampant consumerism” will be a necessary casualty of the current economy. That is a good thing.
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 [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen, A Moment of Silence for… A Moment of Silence
Yes. It is true. The Moment of Silence in Public Schools in Illinois is unconstitutional. Let’s take a moment of silence to remember the moment of silence.
A total of 18 states have similar statutes in their legislation giving students a moment of silence or prayer during school time.
In 1969 the Illinois legislature passed the following [...]
Winners and Losers | A New Yorker Cartoon (and I get it, and it is funny!)
Thanks to The Seinfeld Episode: The Cartoon whenever I see The New Yorker magazine I check to see if the cartoons are actually funny. One of my professors mentioned a New Yorker article last night about inaugural addresses so I went to check it out online. This cartoon was inset in a completely different article [...]
Breaking News! Ad@lf Hitl&r Campbell Update
A few weeks ago I commented on the idiots who named their children Adolf Hitler Campbell and Aryan Nation Campbell. They had a problem getting a birthday cake. Awwww, too bad.
Now they have a new problem on their hands. They will need to be invited by the authorities for the next birthday party. It seems [...]
All About Manners
This NY Times article written by a pediatrician follows the usual course of “today’s generation has bad manners, but it is not a new problem, it has always been this way… etc.”. The doctor recommends a book called Miss Manners’ Guide to Rearing Perfect Children. Great title by the way. Perfect? Really? Where do I [...]
Adolf Hitler Campbell can't get a birthday cake
Here’s a good one…
We just named our baby and honestly a lot of thought goes into it!
This family decided a good name for their bundle of sweetness and joy is ADOLF HITLER Campbell! Imagine this kid going through life with a name like that!
Sometimes you wonder if these people even think about what they are [...]
