Which raises a question: Is it good for the Jews?
Apparently not.
So, to ask an old question:
Is this good for the Jews?
I’m of two minds.
On the one hand, whatever makes anti-Semites look ridiculous is good, and a Jewish anti-Semite is always good for a laugh.
On the other hand, remember Charlie Rangel’s deadly comment about George W. Bush: Â that he’d single-handedly destroyed the myth of white supremacy. Â If that loon had really turned out to be Jewish, it would have been much harder to maintain with a straight face the idea that Jews have some sort of genetic cognitive edge.
So on balance I’m glad to let the Aryans claim him.

Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

There goes Norman Podhoretz's new book- Why Are Jews Anti-Semites?
Yes, it's best he remain as God seems to have intended him.
Nothing like a good piece of psy-ops to start your week off right.
