Funny, Even Josh Stein Won't Return My Emails


Moshe Dayan: To aim and hit, you need one eye only, and one good finger.

  • This is the funniest thing you'll watch today OR MAYBE EVER. More so if you're Jewish and/or have seen the movie Juno, which I haven't but I caught the preview so I think I "get" it. Written by Comedy Central-connected people which gives it mountains and molehills of cred.

  • More video: TJC asks, Are Dreadlocks the New Peyos?

  • I'm a big fan of Jewcy's Michael Weiss (maybe not as much as Joey Kurtzman but definitely more then Eli Valley). Here he takes on Mamet.

  • Of course, they're all dudes and don't come close to the admiration I hold for Alicia Jo Rabins. Her "Girls in Trouble" Song Cycle at the Jewish Museum on Sunday will be the highlight of your week, if you choose to go.

  • Nextbook goes batty for Bernard Malamud. Rachel Donadio investigates why he is overshadowed by Bellow and Roth (oddly she doesn't ask Eli Valley who I think would know!) and Joe Hill conjures up a conversation with Malamud's famed Jewbird. (I didn't understand a word I just copied-and-pasted.)

  • David Kelsey talking about Big Aish, population studies and Jewish males. Don't all click at once.

  • Israel Air Force flying over Auschwitz. Sorry, my mom sent me this link. (That Sderot PowerPoint was from her too.) Apparently she's now on the Scare-The-Over-60-Jew email network.
