I’ve had an amusing stroll through the rightwing neighborhoods of the online Shtetl, where the bilious hatred for the president mixes with the humorous conviction that he secretly hates Israel, and I would like to propose a bet for anyone who wants it. If Obama wins less than, oh, 70 percent of the American Jewish vote in 2012, I buy you dinner at Sammy’s Roumanian. (He won 78 percent of it in 2008.) If he wins that or more, you buy me dinner there. Let’s see who has the courage of his or her convictions.

My physical therapist, a Jew by marriage and resident of Israel, tells me that some 70% of Israelis are not happy with the present government.

Damn. I have to preview everything nowadays.
i mean, i’d like to take the bet just so i can get dinner at sammy’s roumanian. that place is fucking amazing. as it happens, when ketel one is frozen in a big block of ice, you don’t really notice how much you drink until you get the bill. i went there for a bachelor party and we all ended up paying like 225/person for dinner. worth every dime though, which is something that literally can’t be said for any other restaurant that costs that much.
Hey, youre at war with Isreal, dontcha know?
