The Bwog
Lee C. illuminates

menorahMaybe they were just there for the latkes and cider, or the Columbia Marching Band playing Chanukah songs, but the promise of a Prezbo appearance may have drawn the substantial crowd at tonight's concluding menorah lighting. Rabbi Yonah Blum greeted Lee C. with praise and a Chanukah gift, and after Prezbo said a few words about religious tolerance and mounted the ladder with his lantern-lighting blowtorch, the ceremony concluded.

The strains of Hava Nagila followed this Gentile bwogger back to her labors, Hershey's kiss gelt in hand.

Didn't you know? He's a godless Atheist Secular Progressive. He's only at the menorah lighting because he couldn't book a timeslot with the Moslems for their seasonal flag-burning ceremony, since the only religious services he'll attend are those that are either anti-American or anti-Christian.

"Godless Atheist Secular Progressive" is kind of a complement. Now run along; there are nooses for you to hang on good people's doors, you prick.

Bollinger is not Jewish. But for heaven's sake, why can't he ever get credit for a nice gesture? Why does everyone have to respond with resentment and bigotry?

I didn't realize that it was American to attack someone for their religious views.

I didn't realize that the Yule Log ceremony is a tradition of anti-Christian extraction. Count me among the few.
