Reg,

Scrivener’s error as to your BP.

Either that or get to the hospital NOW!

Enco,

Conflation and confabulation to my consternation and indignation. Prove me wrong and i will belong to the bloodthirsty and the strong.

As it is nobody beats the whiz. Make it fizz. Let logic ring through all the land. Rational man knows he can. We ain’t rational though…MAN!

And i forgot to link the article. I also lost my glasses and keys today so that is major minor.

Speaking of Koreans…check out this bad boy of nutritional innovation. Fish gelatin sounds gefiltefishish.

Cow muscle and fat stem cells sounds like that vaunted fatty corned beef sandwich.

No need to order pork fried rice any longer. Where is the beef? It is IN THE RICE.

And aint that nice?

Before I comment on this, let me just say a-rat-is-not-a-pig-is-not-a-dog-is-not-a-boy. Man, The Rational Animal is not the same as a hooved, four-legged, four-stomached primitive-brained ruminant, raising livestock is not equivalent to child abuse, spouse abuse, chattel slavery, or the Holocaust. If anybody thinks otherwise, and thinks they are…[Read more]

“And yet, you seem to rely on a parallel—and equally nonsensical—construction when it comes to attitudes toward Jews.” If i was a robot or wokester i might have relied on it. Instead i questioned it.

I would not be so sure it tells nothing. Certainly in context if we know a person and their linguistic speech patterns it might betray bigotry or…[Read more]

@ Unseen

No idea why you continue to misconstrue/misunderstand.

Let me try again.

There is a common perception that when a person says something like the following it means they are a bigot…I can’t believe you are accusing me of hating Balhoonians! Some of my best friends are Balhoonians.

I have questioned the validity of that so called…[Read more]

Simon i don’t want to be associated with any political parties. I always considered myself far more liberal than conservative. But seeing the progressives in action sickens me.

I think minorities always need to be hip to racism. It seems like the conservatives at Fox like to have Blacks to show how fair minded they are. Racism from the left…[Read more]

Not enough fat on that corned beef sandwich. Man i am gonna love having lab meat although the plant based is getting better and better.

You misunderstood me i think. I am questioning the tell for bigotry. It seems to me that having friends of a particular ethnicity might well indicate no racial animus. It is certainly not dispositive of the issue…[Read more]

‘Some of my best friends are black.’

That is a tell for bigotry. But i am not sure it is typically the case. Seems to me genuine friendship is an indication of lack of bigotry against a particular ethnic group. I have however seen in college how White bigots dated Black girls because they thought them inferior and there was some weird sexual…[Read more]

Agreed on no lettuce, tomato or ketchup. I would limit it to mustard. If you add Russian it is like a reuben. But the corned beef in good NY Jewish delis is not neat; it’s overflowing the sides and very fatty. Holy fuck it is a gustatory gasm.

Enco,

Gefilte fish is not as disgusting as one might suspect. It is not good by any means but it is not retchworthy.

There is lots of good Jewish food. Jewish deli meats on Jewish rye to die for. And with the discoveries about processed meats that to die for line works two ways. Matzoh ball soup is good. Chicken soup is good. knishes are good.…[Read more]

After a day on the trail anything edible tastes like manna from the spaghetti monster.

It is the simple things that make life worthwhile. If your body is capable then use it. Get outside and into the outdoors away from it all. Sit by a fire in the dark and experience the wonder of our existence.

Do Jews like gefilte fish?

Do Kenyans like ugali? Do Germans like schnitzel? Do Irish like corned beef and cabbage?

Funny how the two jars of gefilte fish in my local market just keep gathering dust. Forget supply and demand. Dropping the price of the jar is not gonna move this product. You couldn’t give it away to starving Palestinians. I…[Read more]

Bagels is not a fair test. Sure bagels are Jewy food. But there is a universalism and cosmopolitan appeal that renders the test meaningless. If you are accused of being a Jew hater you can only be untarnished or tarnished depending on perspective by eating a disgusting gefilte fish with horseradish. Grin and bear it Jew hater.

Speaking of bagels…[Read more]

Enco,

Even if our economy were a great deal stronger it would not alter the landscape of good and bad fortune. Tragedy, abandonment, destitution, mental issues et. al. cause the greatest vulnerabilities and suffering.

So i ask what kind of a civilization do we want? Whatever our political leanings is it treason to modify political ideology to…[Read more]

Enco,

Whether your prognostications/assessments as to the American economy are accurate does not change the reality of so many who suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous vicissitudes.

Should we help the needy or let them suffer and die?
