* Jewish Friend: “You’re not a good Jew.”
Luke: “What do you mean? I study a page of Talmud every morning. I put on tefillin every morning…”
Friend: “But you hate to bargain.”
Luke: “It’s not how I was raised.”
Friend: “You’ve got to learn to love bargaining, to grind the s*** out of them and laugh, to be a good Jew.”
Amy: “But, Luke Ford, you love to argue a point — to the point where you may leave another person a twisted rag on the floor (not speaking personally, just want to say!…but I’ve witnessed this). I think this is the Judaism admission card.”
* What do Jews give each other on Hanukkah? “Insider stock tips. Untraceable.” (Chaim Amalek)
* I don’t like many people, but when I find someone I like, I tend to really like them, and then spend way too much time thinking about how much they like me back. I think it’s an Al Anon issue.
Published on Jul 1, 2013: “Father Tom is one of the best Al Anon speakers I have ever heard, he is very thought-provoking and extremely insightful. He always has a charming and beautiful way of relating the program of recovery to the audience. I always get something out of his shares and his story and it carries a powerful message.”
* “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.” George Orwell, 1984
* If anyone gives you trouble about your day laborers, say, “These aren’t laborers. These are the arborists who’ve taken care of my parents’ estate for years.”
* As a guide to contemporary life and, I suspect to life in 1962 (or 1931), To Kill A Mockingbird is epicly bad.
* I am watching To Kill A Mockingbird now and if there is one lesson to be learned from this most beloved of American classics, it is that white women have been abusing young black bucks with false accusations of rape for generations.
* White people of a certain age and political view LOVE this move/book To Kill A Mockingbird. It is all crazy…even for the past it purports to depict. No wonder they are warped. And who wrote this book? A White Christian woman. Not a Jew!
* The last time I watched Saturday Night Live live was in high school.
* A goy tells me: I’ve noticed some whites and white nationalists and trump supporters “reclaiming” the term “goy” the way homos use “queer” and blacks use… Kind of exciting!
* Racism fights the germs that cause bad breath.
* It seems to me that Assad is the best leader for Syria at the moment, just as Saddam Hussein was the best leader for Iraq and Qaddafi was the leader for Libya.
* It’s easy to see what’s going on if you put yourself in the position of those with the power to determine agendas. How would you act?
* Once you’ve known the warmth of your rebbe’s smile, no other life is possible for you. (Chaim Amalek)
* A friend was describing another friend in words I found a tad too close to home: “Town fool, no shame, no filter. Thinks he’s a martyr.”
* FFB: “If your Jewish filter was in place ten years ago, you could very well be today the president of YICC.”
* George Steiner: “Marxism is at bottom merely Judaism in a hurry.”
