What matters is that he uses his money to help Democratic candidates and get out there and push his supporters to support her. He owes it to the party that his campaign is saying he’s now a lifetime member of, unless they were lying when they said that

Exactly! The prize is having the better option win.

You get doors opened for you, that seems pretty nice.

I too am mid-thirties and experience occasional “you kids today moments,” the transition is slow and subtle, and for me is triggered by people taking pictures of their food. (You’re not in Morocco eating something you find exotic, it’s just a sandwich!)

Nothing like people who say they’re opening themselves up but still make every new experience about them

The DJ turned off the mic and played music, a group came over to get rid of himand he left once police were mentioned. He tried to stop for food on the way out, which is what makes it perfect. Like, “I’m leaving, but just a couple veggie spring rolls really quick.” I believe the term is schnorrer.

No, my family was well behaved. Drunk, but well behaved. The worst I have ever heard of was a friend who had his Bar Mitzvah party interrupted by his estranged father who showed up uninvited. My friend was a convert and his dad was against the conversion, which he insisted on making clear when he grabbed the mic from…

El Al men’s room?

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?

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…
