Our Google News Alert for “Bill Clinton weiner” has finally come through. On Saturday, Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York married some lady who used to work for Hillary Clinton. The gown was made by the bride’s “good friend Oscar de la Renta,” because of course he is and because everyone cares about who made [...]
The video after the jump is from yesterday, but, eh, nobody here was live-blogging it, so you chumps probably haven’t heard about it, so we could tell you it was from today and you’d never know! Anyway, watch an exquisitely bored Lindsey Graham ask Elena Kagan “where [she] was at on Christmas Day,” then watch [...]
Wednesday, June 23: The U.S. actually won the soccer — and should you be Latino, an elite progressive or a confused patriot, you must be consumed with joy! (Obama now has a guaranteed win in 2012, right?) If you didn’t fake a cold or schedule a visit from the plumber this morning and missed this [...]
Jack Abramoff! Remember that guy? Corrupt lobbyist something something Congressman A something something Filipina sex slaves blah blah golf junkets yadda yadda yadda WHATEVER, you can Google this business yourself, what do we look like, your personal political scandal historians? We’re all about the future, not the past, and in the future, Jack Abramoff, who [...]
Popular E.B. White periodical The New Yorker has a lengthy profile on our future president, popular New Yorker and teevee personality Mike Huckabee. Our Man from Hope opens up about Jews and gays and elitists, among other New Yorker readers, so certainly he would say nothing those groups would object to, right?
Every now and then, the New York Post shows a hint of its acidic headline genius of yore. This isn’t it, exactly, but the underused word “crone” is perfectly illustrated by a batty old lady cackling weirdly about sending the Jews “back [to] Poland, Germany.” Ugh. But at least the right wing will now purge [...]
You could see this one coming: “Helen Thomas announced Monday that she is retiring, effective immediately. Her decision came after her controversial comments about Israel and the Palestinians were captured on videotape and widely disseminated on the Internet.”
Actual overt anti-Semitic racist (and lesbian) Pat Buchanan, a featured pundit on a major news network, has written an awesome column today offering, among other things, his old-timey prejudiced take on that strange, recurring question that those of us who don’t believe in any of the major 1,000-3,000(?)-year-old desert ghost-man mythologies will never understand: what’s [...]
Star and Shamrock isn’t your bubbie’s kitchen. It hasn’t been sanctified by a Rabbi, it’s not going to bring about the Second Coming and it’s no Katz’s, Carnegie’s, or Eli’s (an actual Kosher Deli in DC). What is it then? It’s a pub/deli in the predominantly black Atlas District where maybe ten Jews actually live. [...]
Attention descendants of wandering Arameans everywhere: It’s Passover. Eight days of eating Matzah and longing to go number two in celebration of the virgin blood that Jews smeared on their doors and the subsequent death of lots of Egyptians. The Easter Bunny, as we understand it, survived unharmed. The world may be run by Jews, but [...]
Thursday, February 25: Tomorrow we’ll all watch Congress and the President fight to the death for health care reform, so why not cap off your evening talking about CBO scores, health insurance exchanges, and Peter Orszag at the Young Health Professionals Society Happy Hour? The fun starts at 6PM at Vapiano on M Street. [Young [...]
As the city tries to dig itself out from mountains of snow, and the DC Tweeter snowball people try to make sense of what that mean old officer did, what’s important is that everyone’s favorite holiday when Baby Jesus came into the world is just DAYS away. The city’s all frozen, Obama’s going to get health care [...]
Hanukkah, the ancient Hebrew celebration of Christmas, begins tomorrow night and lasts for eight glorious days. Hooray! There are many, many thing to do in DC to celebrate this holiday, and, like all things Jewish, the events all involve food and every possible scenario for Jews to get together and make babies.
Things DC has a lot of: Jews and burger joints (no specific relation known). Things DC does not have a lot of: Jewish Delis, by which we mean good places to get a sandwich. But now every denomination can be happy, because Taylor Gourmet, a gourmet deli and market, just opened in Mount Vernon Triangle [...]
