"The lack of objectivity, as far as foreign nations are concerned, is notorious. From one day to another, another nation is made out to be utterly depraved and fiendish, while one's own nation stands for everything that is good and noble. Every action of the enemy is judged by one standard - every action of oneself by another. Even good deeds by the enemy are considered a sign of particular devilishness, meant to deceive us and the world, while our bad deeds are necessary and justified by our noble goals which they serve."
[Erich Fromm]

This week in Calvert, Maryland a woman was choking on a piece of food when her dog saved her life by jumping up and down on her chest, causing the food to be dislodged. The woman says the dog performed the Heimlich maneuver. Sure. Hey, why not? Our next door neighbor’s pitbull performed a vasectomy on the mailman!

It's easy to advocate an indefinite military occupation while sitting at home, yelling at liberals over the internet - especially when your taxes haven‘t been raised to pay for it, yet.
CHEESES! I’ve spent brief periods of my working life in management and I hated it. I don’t have the emotional disposition to be a prick every minute of every day. Jack, on the other hand, has spent 25 years in management. Jack insists,
“When firing an employee you should do it on a Friday and use the ‘Knock, knock’ method. Call them into your office late Friday afternoon and say ‘Knock, knock.’ Curious, he or she will reply ‘Who`s there?’ and then you say ‘Not you anymore, pack your shit. You`re fucking fired.’
I find levity alleviates what can often be a tense situation and helps the employee transition to a life of day time TV watching.”
Jack also says, “The best way to break up with a woman is to be honest with her and tell that your wife found out about your relationship and she demanded that you end it. Most of the time your new ex girlfriend will really appreciate the honesty. If not, fuck her, you weren`t the one dating a married man.”

Just ahead of Passover, Da Rev has set up 4 cups of wine and is prepared to recline as The STAND-UP presents - that Upper West Side icon (and he doesn’t even LIVE there!) our friend Shecky - in the *SKIN section, after the current events babble!
Da Rev: WOW! Now the race for president in 2008 could become even more diverse. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg may run as an independent - giving us a black a woman and a midget Jew to choose from.

Fred Thompson was offered the part of Leonidas in the movie 300; he turned it down after learning that he was not allowed to use his own spear.
Mitt Romney is the perfect presidential candidate. How can anyone claim to be more knowledgeable than him when he's been on both sides of every issue?

Alberto “Seedy” Gonzales faced demands to resign when e-mails surfaced showing he had long meetings about U.S. attorney firings, after he had publicly denied any knowledge of them. This steady drip is torture on him. What goes around comes around.
Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado called for A-G Gonzalez to be deported!

The National Review called for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign. All of the signs say go. His assistant Monica Goodling just took the Fifth Amendment, and in Washington it's never a good idea to throw a Monica under the desk.
Seedy Gonzales' aide Monica Goodling refused Monday to testify in the Senate against her boss. The nation sat up. The last time anyone named Monica refused to testify, we were treated to a political scandal with adult language and partial nudity.
The House Judiciary Committee authorized subpoenas last week to summon the president's aides to testify in the Justice Department scandal. It's shaping up just like Watergate. Pat Leahy gets to be Sam Irvin, Karl Rove gets to be H.R. Haldeman, and Fred Thompson is just three surgical procedures away from being Fred Thompson.
Tom DeLay confessed to womanizing in his new book, but he accused Newt Gingrich of weak leadership as Speaker because Newt was an adulterer, as was Newt's replacement Bob Livingston. No wonder drug costs are so high. The price of Viagra now includes the pill, the drinks, the room and the Republican majority in Congress.
Pope Benedict said that hell is a place where sinners really do burn in everlasting life. He complained that no one is paying enough attention to hell lately. Sinners have so many cable options you can't get anybody to focus on anything.
The U.S. Senate approved the Iraq war funding bill and its one-year timeline to exit. The war is like a drunken redneck sneaking up behind a mountain lion and then having sex with it. The only thing scarier than going in is pulling out.
Russia ordered home their nuclear technicians from Iran because Iran won't pay its bills. It's unbelievable that they can't pay their bills when gas is three dollars a gallon. Their theocracy can't balance a budget any better than ours.

Hooters in Israel
U.S. restaurant chain Hooters, known for waitresses in low-cut blouses and short skirts, will open its first branch in Tel Aviv this summer. In a landmark agreement, Arab terrorists and ultra Orthodox Jews have both agreed to bomb the restaurant within two weeks of its opening.

Hooters Restaurants announced plans to open their first restaurant in Israel. The waitresses can serve drinks, but the burgers and ribs and wings have to be brought to your table by male waiters. It's not kosher to mix dairy and meat.

SHECKY, TODAY...
SHECKY: Greetings Ladies and Germs!
OY! I’m up for a terrific part in a new TV series. Yes. COMING TO USA Network in the Fall of 2007 - NYPD JEW: New York's Finest AND New York's Frumest! I’m testing for the part of the rabbi - so I’ve been hittin’ the books. Go ahead ask me something. Let me try out my rabbi shtick, OK?
Q) Is Cybersex allowed in Judaism?
Rabbi: You bet it is, as long as its though a sheet. Hmmm… doesn’t sound like OnlySimchas.com! Remember to always clear your history cache if you live with your mother.
(Never go out with someone you meet in a pet lovers online chat room…)
Q) How do I get a girl to fall in love with me?
Rabbi: That is very simple kasha to answer, and I'm glad you asked me, as I do marriage counseling on the side (as well as catering, call me). There is really no psak halacha on this inyun. However, in the Teshuvas Hagaonim it brings down that the key is to be an eved Hashem, well that, and lose some serious serious weight.
Q) Can you feel the Love tonight?
Rabbi: Ahvas Hashem, like a good suit lining, should always be felt.
Q) Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
Rabbi: Ah, holy zmiroys! According to our Tradition, (great soups, no?), the rainbow guarantees that Hakadosh Baruch Hu will never destroy the world again, but to address the larger question:
Do male frogs have an issur of Kol Isha? 100%!

SHECKY: Welcome to our Pesach-Murder Mystery Dinner and Ligerie Party where everyone will get a chance to portray one of the CLUE suspects. So far we got:
Mrs. Leibowitz at the shabbos table with the candlesticks.
The Mikveh lady in the prep room with the hat pin.
Bubby Meise in the kitchen with the gefilte fish.
Beryl at the Matzoh factory with the oven paddle.
Mr. Schwartz in the Shochtois (slaughterhouse) with the Chalaf (shochet's knife)
Morrie on Erev Yom Kippur schlogging koporos. (an unfortunate holiday accident)
Mr. Horowitz in the mikveh with the newly toveled knife.
Mr. Schapiro in the Sukkah with the Lulav.
The Rosh Yeshiva in the Beis Midrash with the Vilna Shas.
And finally…
HaKadosh Baruch Hu in the parking lot with the lightning bolt.
My brother Larry took his Passover lunch to eat outside in the park. He sat down on a bench and began eating. A little while later a blind man came by and sat down next to him. Feeling neighborly, the Larry passed a sheet of matzoh to the blind man. The blind man handled the matzoh for a few minutes, looked puzzled, and finally exclaimed, "Who wrote this shit?"

Speaking of matzoh. You will always have matzoh left over after Pesach. You won't want to eat any more of it by then and you won't be able to bring yourself to throw it out.
Having eaten 12-month-old matzoh back in 1981, you know better than to save it for next year. And so, may I offer the Ten Things To Do With Leftover Matzah Farfel:
1. Organic kitty litter
2. Garden mulch
3. Add water, make a facial
4. Ecological packing material
5. Resurface the driveway
6. Donate to Kindergarten for papier mache projects
7. Use in lieu of oatmeal bath for kids with chicken pox
8. Throw at weddings
9. Growing medium for strep test
10.Revenge on geese for leaving goose poop on your lawn
Got it?
