Verizon: Can you hear us now?

this is not the change i was looking for

“How is Mordechai’s Verizon petition on Change.org doing?” is a question exactly no one is asking, but oh my god I just watched The Daily Show, and that ad played back to back to back and it has to stop. Maybe I should…

I’m gettin too old for this shit, Penn edition

How-Fracking-Works-feature

As you might imagine, I’m not an enormous fan of fracking - though I am an enormous fan of fracking puns. So when Donna from Jews Against Hydrofracking asked me to raise awareness about the issue at Hillel, I agreed – even though everyone’s pretty much out the door by this time of year, and also I haven’t done this … Read more

Shotgun Bar Mitzvah – spooky scary?

I spent this past weekend in Highland Park, NJ, celebrating the Bat Mitzvah of my cousin. She read the Torah beautifully, then gave a sophisticated and enthusiastic speech – in short, the experience reminded me nothing of the last Bar/t* Mitzvah I attended. *because that looks terrible, the ceremony will heretofore be referred to as … Read more
