At my Bar Mitzvah a group of us all brought bottles we’d lifted from our parent’s liquor cabinets, so it was half a bottle of one thing, a quarter bottle of another, a fifth of another random all combined into one horrible concoction. Which we still drank.

I was at a seder by an interfaith organization, so the guests were all religious leaders from different faiths. Most of the people were asking questions about the ceremony, what different seder plate items meant, etc. A group of the Christian leaders couldn’t talk about anything other than the last supper being a…

First off, great name, and second I love Pesach too. I’ve got brisket slow cooking at home as I type! And yes, the lack of fun in that picture is pathetic, I have never seen a group that needs 4 cups of wine more than them.

Oh good, so only 2 empty seats? That isn’t that bad, and if Elijah picks someone up at a previous house it works out pretty well.

I was in D.C for the inauguration in January ‘09, so glad I was able to take my daughter so she could experience that. Strangers hugging and crying, even the train ride in from Virginia (where we were staying) that morning was amazing because almost everyone was going to the inauguration. I have been blessed to have…

I know this is late but I just saw your comment and I’m such a political geek I had to respond. When you talked about crying, you meant ‘08? I’ve been involved in politics most of my life both volunteering and professionally and I never experienced anything like 2008. My whole family volunteered and I was lucky enough…

I was going to say Eliyahu gets to see fewer homes this year because he has to stay for thirds. Oh I hate when that happens, it happened to us the only year we ever hosted, which is also known as “The Pesach when everything went wrong.” It was hilariously bad; there was fire, an elected official was injured, it was an…

Congrats on the avoidance of burns this year. Did you make anything else cool?

I haven’t read the books but it was my understanding that the Walkers appeared less in them than the show, is that not true?

That’s what worries me. I like a healthy primary but we need the convention to be unifying, in stark contrast to what will hopefully be a shitshow on the other side.

Well, if you can think of a simpler way, I’d like to hear it.

I don’t think I would have felt compelled to say something if they had just gone with the neurotic or overbearing tropes, which are lazy but not as bad as this. But Cersei is selfish (even when it’s for her kids, it’s really for her), cruel, and extremely manipulative of her own children, and that’s just an offensive…

Not only does she seem content there, but we need her there. I would love her as President, but just as Democrats seem to focus on the White House too much in terms of electoral importance, we are always so eager to pull our best and brightest out of Congress where we really need them. I want her involved in Senate…

How exactly is Wendy Davis qualified? Other than that it’s a very good list, I would add Kathleen Sebelius, who is pretty darn qualified as well.

I’m sorry your mom is Cersei, but please don’t go with “most,” which is BS. I debated sending this but had to because that is seriously insulting. A lot of Jewish mothers, many of whom are on this site, are absolutely terrific.

I don’t think most of us are for keeping voices out of the process, honestly I’d love if all liberal voices joined the conversation, but people can’t always wait until election day to do it. It is tricky for some Democrats to have a candidate say “I don’t want to be a member of your Party/now I want to lead your…

Well first off go ahead and get him signed up to the right party! Second, if Clinton is our nominee, just plan to have your step daughter in November, that is the big vote to cast and a memory for a life time.

Revel in the moment, it’s wonderful. And remember, you can bring your step-daughter into the voting booth, my daughter says she’ll never forget helping me cast the vote for President Obama in ‘08. It’s so important to not only get them involved young, but to give them a sense of the moment.

I understand that the current optics make it appear sexist, but I don’t think it’s about sexism with him because I think he lectures and wags his fingers at whomever is on the other side of the conversation (that’s his reputation) which is its own problem. He does have funny moments and passionately cares about…
