BEER OR HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL

I recently took a trip to Boston with my fiance. On Wednesday night, we met up for dinner and drinks with some old friends on the North End and as we stumbled past a strip of bars, I was surprised by a Holocaust memorial and its close proximity to the strip of bars. Standing inside the memorial, if I had a bowling ball- I could under-hand throw it at Hennessy's. It was difficult to focus on the memorial when I could see and hear drunken people all around me. I was furious with the city of Boston for allowing a memorial to be so inappropriately placed and deemed so meaningless.

I swallowed my anger and walked through this memorial, reading the many affecting quotes. There was one poignant quote about a Jewish woman who was a barber for a concentration camp and she was ordered to cut the Jews' hair and make them think they were only getting a haircut. In actuality, the Nazi's just wanted the Jews' hair before they put them inside the gas chambers thereafter. The memorial itself actually arose a smoke from the ground, making the quotes difficult to read but I'm unsure if they were as consequential as the painful images or the modern distractions.

As I exited through the memorial I realized the appropriateness of the memorial's obstruction. A holocaust memorial hidden and overlooked by a nightlife could not be more apropos and symbolic of the unseen Holocaust. If a person wants to understand the true pains of how Jews were taken away to camps, brutally murdered and all were concealed and overlooked- then yes the memorial's placement is brilliant. I doubt this was the intentions of the memorial, but kudos to whomever.

PALESTINE- The Economic Ayatollah

Fouad Amrin will finally have a place to live! No longer confined to isolation and loneliness, he is now liberated with a roof under over his head and enough money to purchase new garments and furnish his new stomping ground. Amrin, who stabbed a 15-year-old Israeli girl to death in 1992, was serving a life sentence but now released, will receive a brand new home and $7,000. Top that, Bob Barker!

Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian National Authority has devised a plan funded by the Palestinian Investment Fund to build houses for the released prisoners in the Gilad Schalit swap. The PIF’s objective is to stimulate the Palestinian economy by making vital investments. My question is how will building homes for murderers strengthen the Palestinian economy? It will surely provide shelter, rebound and perhaps means for further plots to eliminate Yids from this Earth, but I ask again- how will building homes for murderers strengthen the Palestinian economy? I do not consider myself an economist and by no means am I the master of marginal benefit strategy, but I will take a stab at this. Fouad Amrin, along with the other 1,026 prisoners released will be financially secure enough to purchase (a modest guess) 3 guns each from Al-Mel Gibson’s Gun Store.  Al-Mel Gibson will make $924,300 from these prisoners alone. How about all of the euphoria from this business on the up-and-up? Well, I’m sure 1,027 more (non-convicted) murderers might purchase 1 gun each (I don’t think they’d push their luck and buy 3). That’s another $308,100! Al-Mel Gibson and his family will be able to eat filet mignon every night for dinner!!!

Now why might Israel and other countries like the United States, Holland, Canada or Germany vote against Palestine to be accepted into UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)? This recent decision is a microcosm of many reasons why many nations do not like Palestine. The sad result is that UNESCO did accept Palestine into the organization last week. Even sadder news is that Palestine is seeking 16 other UN agency memberships. Here is some advice for the other 16 UN agencies for which Palestine will propose membership- Make your decision based on their strides for economic progression.

The Inexpensive Jewish life

Get out the calculator. Yesterday, Israel welcomed Ilan Grapel home in exchange for 25 Egyptian prisoners. Last week, 1,027 Palestinians and Israeli Arabs were released for Gilad Shalit’s freedom. Keep pressing the addition key. 100,000+ Jews are furious about these radical trades. Oda Tarbin, an Israeli currently being held in Egypt for 11 years and counting, will he be released for 10,000,000 Jew haters? Groups like Hamas or Hezballah do not want to see a Jewish state, but are the biggest haters of the Jews (press the equals sign…) the Jews?

College tuition for myself was roughly $5,000 a semester. I spent a summer interning in Los Angeles, a spring semester interning in New York City, took out thousands of dollars in student loans and graduated in four years, making the total cost (press the equals sign…) a college education.

“When someone asks his friend how he is and the friend says, ‘Not good’, this can be an opening for trouble. Because Gd says ‘You call this not good? I’ll show you what not good is. But if when his friend asks how he is, he answers brightly, ‘Good, thank Gd!’ even though things are really not so good, Gd says ‘This you call good? I’ll show you what good is!” – Siach Sarfey Kodesh 1-32

I will not complain because a Jewish life is priceless.

Dirty Dancing remake needs to be DIRTY!

Lionsgate is remaking the classic hip-thrusting feature film that crazed the eighties. Many fans are concerned if the film will stay in its classic form and ring true to the original. I say that this film MUST stray completely away from the classic and go in a new direction... MAKE IT DIRTY! And when I say dirty- I'm talking about absolute FILTH! I do not mean that Baby should be backed into a corner and the porno music should be cued. I mean, that this film needs to be taken at face value and made as absolutely unsanitary as possible! The director Kenny Ortega should throw mud on the couple while they're dancing the cha-cha- like a bunch of pigs rolling in their slop. Dump used coffee filters on the cast while they're doing the west-coast swing. Forget dance shoes. Let the splinters, bunions and athlete's foot rot away the camera-lense. You may be asking why? And the answer is because I'm sick of metaphors.


Am I right? - Because I think I'm right.
