About Me
- Name: Carl in Jerusalem
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Speaking of satire, Caroline Glick was sent the following limerick by a reader. Its so good it should be reposted here:
John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.
Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.
Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.
John's favourite rooster, Barry, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed Barry's bell hadn't rung at all!
When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing
pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover.
To John's amazement, Barry had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.
He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of Barry, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded Barry the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pullet Surprise as well. Clearly, Barry was a politician in the making.
Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
Vote carefully, the bells are not always audible.

NY Grampa and I thank you for the hat tip, Carl. He was determined to get it to work.
When SNL goes after The One at least 3 weeks in a row, that should be a wake-up call for those who voted for him. He is a dangerous joke, and the Israelis realized it well before the Americans, and so far, my fellow Americans, especially the Jews who are Democrats, seem to be clueless.
I fear for what it will take to wake them up, and I fear for Israel especially.
