Although I still think there is time ... with 30-some days left before the General Election ... for the electorate to strike the blow that will help the people take back this country from the maniacs who are running it right now, there are days when the silliness just disappoints.
My rabbi told this story at Rosh Hashana services on Tuesday: A frail 80-year-old mother is celebrating her birthday and her three sons each give her a present. Harry gives her a new house. Harvey gives her a new car and driver. And Bernie gives her a huge parrot that can recite the entire Torah. A week later, she calls her three sons together and says: “Harry, thanks for the nice house, but I only live in one room. Harvey, thanks for the nice car, but I can’t stand the driver. Bernie, thanks for giving your mother something she could really enjoy. That chicken was delicious.”- Tom Friedman, NY Times
Let's hope we don't all have to go back to raising chickens.
