Politics Buzz Please watch all seven minutes and eleven seconds of this. It will bring you much joy.
Food Buzz Eagle-eyed super-chef Tom Colicchio spotted this sign recently in Chinatown. It's what the holidays are all about.
Culture Buzz The Wodka Vodka company removed this billboard, put up earlier this week in New York City, after a very predictable public outcry. Oh, wait…I just got it! Jews are cheap! Ha ha ha ha! Unless you're one of those people who are offended by hurtful stereotypes that should be denounced by everyone, I don't see what the big deal was.
FOX attempts to smear #occupywallstreet with a little help from David Brooks at the New York Times.
Politics Buzz Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul used to publish a libertarian newsletter in the '80s and '90s. They were not, shall we say, sane. From those newsletters, here are some racist/homophobic/anti-semitic musings on everything from AIDS to Hate Whitey Day (aka Martin Luther King Jr. Day). Paul says he didn't write any of the following quotes, but they all appeared under his name. Yiiiiiikes.
Culture Buzz Archie Comics recently announced that their openly gay character, Kevin Keller, will be getting married. Fox News online readers, true to form, showed tact and compassion in their responses. UPDATE: They did not show either of those things in their responses. There is unfortunately much more over at Bleeding Cool. And what do cleft palates have to do with anything?
Culture Buzz Rabbis in Jerusalem (who apparently have their own justice system!) ruled that the spirit of secular lawyer who insulted judges 20 years ago has transferred into wandering dog's body so they sentenced the poor tramp to death by stoning. Luckily, the dog managed to escape before the bungling clergyman could carry out their holy punishment. (via ynetnews.com)
The chosen people from Temple Judea use the power of Glee covers to promote their shul. Hold on to that feeling, Jewish people.
Things I now know about Louis CK: He hates Sarah Palin, the shift button can suck his balls, and he loves Jews.

The original poster for Edge of Darkness was moody and dark, but lacked the nuanced racial overtones that someone like Mel Gibson brings to a project.
“Empire State of Mind” gets the Jewish makeover it was so desperately asking for. Featuring a white guy rapping and Rachel Dratch! The best!
The tribe has spoken, and 2009's “The Hanukkah Song” is going Gaga. We all knew Natalie Portman was one of God's chosen people, but Sean Paul???
Gaga ain't Jewish, so leave it to Chevonne to turn Hanukkah into eight filthy nights. If Jews ever needed a sexy, afro'ed human version of a Muppet, we've found her. (via)
This is like a real-life vaguely racist version of National Treasure. (Which is just a crappy version of The Da Vinci Code, which is already pretty terrible.)
Albeit a tad late, Jewz finally get the LOL treatment, sans cheesburgers. Bubbe had enough trouble trying to play the Sarah Silverman video. Comprehending Internetspeak might just send her straight to the nursing home.
