• NY Times on Jerualem’s pride rally. Jewschool contributor Ashan, aka David Sheen, is quoted in this SF Chronicle piece. Did you hear Lupolianski got stoned by hariedim? Harry has great photos of the rally here.
• Incidentally, some of the same guys rioting in Mea Shearim apparently like to bugger each other at the mikveh. My new word for this phenomenon is Foleyosis. As in, the Jewish immediate past chairman of the Republican Party, Ken Mehlman, may be suffering from a bad case of Foleyosis.
• Jay-Z and Russell’s new commercials “will ask viewers, ‘What’s hot? Respect for people. What’s not hot? Hating people for their color or religion.’ And they will explain that ‘anti-Semitism is a long word for racism.’”
• Pop Occulture examines Scarlett Johansson’s sexual proclivities, or lack thereof. I’m reminded of…
• Jackie Mason has lost his suit against Jews for Jesus, in which he sought to end their use of his name and likeness on one of their brochures. Bad for the Jews, good for my case with Manischewitz.
• Seattle Times: “The summer camp featured in the documentary Jesus Camp, which includes scenes with disgraced preacher Ted Haggard, will shut down for at least several years because of negative reaction sparked by the film, according to the camp’s director.”
• WashPo: “Democrats Win Bigger Share of Religious Vote”
• I’m only posting this because I want to give others an opportunity be as creatively mean-spirited as I: Jumpcut is inviting users to remix Matisyahu’s new video. Oh the possibilities… Ten points if you can work in this clip. You can view the original Hallmark commerical — er, I mean, his new video — here.
• The “Darfur is a Zionist Conspiracy” conspiracy theories David Kelsey foretold are getting more involved and more intense.
