'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'

So tired of this line of thinking. It is intellectual laziness and lands like thinly-veiled anti-Semitism in the ears of everyone who is actually in a position to stop the Israelis. Which is to say, the Israelis.

Todd doing interpretive dance dressed in a mylar unitard on the Bowie tribute tour was the experience of a lifetime. I went for the Belew. I stayed for the Todd lulz.

This reminds me that we live in a world where people actually listen to things John Podhoretz says. On top of every damn thing else.
