Maybe there’s not as much difference as some conservatives think. As for the liberals? Who cares.

Got to be the world’s largest Chanukkah menorah–atop the Azrieli (Shalom) Center in Tel Aviv.

MORE: Lighting the fourth candle on Christmas Eve, Mr. B. said "Remember the Alamo!" Mrs. Charm told him not to be disrespectful, but I had to agree. It was sort of like the Alamo. Except the Maccabees won. For a while, anyway.

Beat me, rabbi, eight to the bar

Yes, it sounds masochistic. But it’s actually from a funny little number called Boogie Woogie Chanukkah.

Via Simply Jews.

Send in the clown

Stephen King-esque clown Al Franken, possible the most obnoxious Bush-hater of the past eight years (excepting only crockumentary filmmaker Michael Moore) seems to be headed for the U.S. Senate. Bleh.

Fawning into bankruptcy

Mark Steyn, whose America Alone is a delicious, if worrisome, read, sums up the fate of the newspaper industry pretty well: "…bland, anemic newspaperpersons turning out politically correct snooze sheets of torpid portentuosness…tongue-bath[s and] fawning [their] way into bankruptcy."

Sexual Harassment Co.

RocketBoom, an old favorite, was supposed to have died after the departure of, uh, Amanda Congdon, was it? Anyhow, it didn’t. This clip on the meme All Your Base Are Belong To Us is pretty funny.

Cotton Bowl-bound

Posted on December 22, 2008 | Comments Off on Cotton Bowl-bound

The first time I saw Jeven Snead in person was when Mr. Boy’s cub scout troop was invited to a Longhorns football practice back in 2006. Snead looked taller than Colt McCoy, to whom JS seemed doomed to play backup forever, and I got the feeling that, in line with the rumors of the time, he wouldn’t be satisfied with that for long. So I was not surprised when he jumped ship for Ole Miss. Nor, given his high school performance in Stephenville, that he’s done well there.
