Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
I stood in line 2.5 hours today to vote.
In Broward County.
Across the street from a HUGE Senior Citizen Condo Complex.
Loudmouth Blue-hairs in line yakking about how much they HATE Republicans and Romney.
Purple Shirted SEIU people hovering around.
A lone woman with a sign that said “PRAY TO END ABORTION” Was subjected to catcalls and insults.
And when I got my ballot, the word “REP” was printed on it and circled in red.
Then I went to a musical starring one of my High School Students, for a nice evening out. It turned out to be “WORKING” by Studs Terkel, and the only positive character in this anti-capitalism screed was a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!
I am NOT making this up.
(When my student’s dad asked me how I liked the production, I told him that the KIDS were fantastic, but the Play was depressing, negative, and mean spirited. He agreed. THEN, I discovered it was first performed in 1978....The Carter Years! That explained everything.)
