Passover Pork
After over doing the inane comparison between livestock and holocaust victims, PETA invokes the voice of the one and only Joan Rivers, urging everyone to “pig out on pig” this coming Passover.
On its new voice mail message for the season, callers to the PETA hotline (888 Veg-Food) are greeted by the raspy has-been’s declaration: “This year, you can pig out at Passover—you can put some pork on your fork, and it’s kosher! I’m not talking about eating a dead pig—yuck!—I’m talking about fakin’ bacon, pseudo-sausage, pigless pork chops, and the wave of wonderful new mock meats in supermarkets everywhere.”
Die. Die. Yay, nu?
[That was harsh. —Ed.]

“I fear that the Zionist dream is doomed”
“The Zionist revolution has always rested on two pillars: a just path and an ethical leadership. Neither of these is operative any longer. The Israeli nation today rests on a scaffolding of corruption, and on foundations of oppression and injustice. As such, the end of the Zionist enterprise is already on our doorstep. There is a real chance that ours will be the last Zionist generation. There may yet be a Jewish state here, but it will be a different sort, strange and ugly.” —Avraham Burg

When Jews Cry Wolf
Here’s a sneak peek at my story on the York incident. It’s a little less biting than the original edit but still gets the point across…The final version will be up Sunday.
York spokeswoman Nancy White writes, “This is just amazing. Thank you so much for the first balanced, accurate article on this event.”

Corruption Eating ARMDI
An anonymous tipster brings word of scandal in the ranks at American Red Magen David for Israel (ARMDI).
The Los Angeles-based Chairman of the organization’s Western Region has hired his org a PR consultant. This consultant, beyond receiving a $7,000 monthly retainer, charges significant fees for any work he does, and apparently, if a different district wants to reuse his work—say a newspaper ad—they will be charged nominally as well, though this doesn’t seem to be stopping anyone from contracting his services. However, the kicker is that this PR consultant is the Chairman of the Western Region himself! Talk about nepotism!
Some board members are reeling from the corruption…
