Oriflamme

I do not want you to follow me or anyone else; if you are looking for a Moses to lead you out of this capitalist wilderness, you will stay right where you are. I would not lead you into the promised land if I could, because if I lead you in, some one else would lead you out. You must use your heads as well as your hands, and get yourself out of your present condition. -Eugene V. Debs 1910.

Trickle down religionomics

Passover is such a boon.

My great hope is one day to by chometz one day and walk in and claim some of it. Jews have to sell or dispose of all their leavened bread for 7 or 8 days during the holiday. Sometimes they sell some of it to a gentile and buy it back after the holiday is over. Check ebay. But the sale is somewhat legitimate, and I think within reason you can claim your chometz, but I wouldn't suggest being anti-semetic. I wouldn't eat a ton and would be willing to pay a little extra. I don't drink so I wouldn't hit the really expensive stuff. But I'd just love to pay say $3.50 for a house full of chometz including some breakfast cereal, and then have myself a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles. Maybe I'd discuss the Pascal lamb and whether a frog plague is really possible in today's world.

And I'd love to walk in somewhere for a good holiday dinner. Since at least some families set an extra place for Elijah, and then assume that weary travelers who come to their door might be Elijah, I might try that out too. But if I had to speak Hebrew, then I guess all bets would be off. That and asking for a good cheeseburger and it would be all over for me.

Well Easter is coming up too, so I feel kind of out of it this week. But maybe I'll right more on Eostre later. Right now I just started the DaVinci Code at long last.

Even better.

Once an orthodox friend and I came up with the all-time non kosher meal. I'll have to think about that again.

The frogs won't stand a chance in today's polluted world.
