May is Jewish American Heritage month, but also Asian and Pacific Islanders Heritage month. Neither group gets their own month! This is more evidence of hostility and racism against these two high achieving groups!

Trump’s fault! Orange Man bad....(what else?).....Racism!.....uh...microaggres...never mind.

If not for those Jooos!, Alexander Hamilton would not have survived childhood in the West Indies, and then where would the NY Post be, and we would have been short one Broadway play. If not for those Jooos!, what kind of a garment industry would we have. What would Hollyweird have done without Spielberg, Kubrik, Weinstein and Allen. If it weren’t for the Jooos! Trump would have had to say more nice things about Asians and Pacific islanders, and the former have consistently pi$$ed everyone off from Pearl Harbor to Covid-19, so now we have two minorities to left-handedly praise, so nobody can say we’re racists. Nyaah./just goofin’ some more.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I oppose the official Balkanization of Americans into different ethnic groups. Jewish Americans are just Americans.

So I would prefer this not to have occurred.

African Americans get a whole month to themselves. What about Hispanics? Huh? And all homos get is a week.

Well, here it is. So we must make merry sport of it. Does Ramadan count as Islamic month? It’s there anyway. They’re usually in a bad mood from the fasting. So why not brighten up their lunar cycle fasting month with a proclamation about how nifty they are.

We don’t need no stinking month. Reserve that stuff for the schvatzas and other assorted offended groups.

Funny when I think of great Americans who happen to be Jewish, the first that pop into my mind are Jonas Salk and Hyman Rickover.

Maybe Robert Oppenheimer, but I didn’t like his politics.

And Levi Strauss, just because nothing is more American than blue jeans.

Then there was Dolly Strauss, his widow. She got a whole play and a movie after her, and got to have Barbara Streisand play her, back when she was just an awesome singer, before she opened her mouth and started talking.

Don’t know, but there’s a great book entitled “How the Scot Irish Saved America” (or something real close to that).

My daughters read it in American History in Israel and then I read it. Fascinating.

I think this is it, but I remember the title differently:

https://www.amazon.com/Born-Fighting-Scots-Irish-Shaped-America/dp/0767916891

Maybe it’s been renamed, or they changed the name in the Hebrew version.

“Does Ramadan count as Islamic month?”

Oh yeah, I think that’s now.

So I retract my objection, and officially approve to Jewish American Heritage Month to coincide with Ramadan, just to watch heads explode.

I also ask NASA to project a large Start of David on the Moon in celebration.

Large Star of David merely projected? We gotta get somebody up there to carve it indelibly with a backhoe, and fill up the trench with some glitzy gold glitter!

Tacky! I don’t want to actually deface the Moon.

Just embellish for a bit.

And what about the Irish Irish? Paddy wagons were named after them, and all those signs saying “No Irish Need Apply” was not meant to exclude Davy Crocket. Speaking of which, when do they get their reparations? Eh? What? Do ye have a problem with the Irish, then? “Well, then here’s a few more for ya!”, as an Irish ex-cop turned lawyer once told me after I pi$$ed him off yet again. Who is it that gave binge drinking a bad name? Where did all the crooked party machines come from, if not for the Irish Irish? And without those, what would the DNC have done in the olden days before they discovered government handouts. What would comedy have been like without Jackey Gleason and Art Carney?

Never you mind. You started this. Now we’re going to have to run a billboard service up there. I can see it now. “Need a lawyer? Better call Saul!” and then and 800 number. We got a stereotype to uphold.

I was thinking Coca Cola or Pepsi ads.

Maybe some sort of booze.

“Break your Ramadan fast with some Chivas Regal!”

Which, mind you, would be much easier to change if it was some sort of laser projection.

True. Backhoes on the moon are not cost effective, and not nearly tacky enough. Should have a news chiron running underneath the ads, preferably by FNC.
