I left a Facebook Status Message suggesting that AIG executives that take bonuses be shot for the crime of high treason and here are the many comments I’ve received. Feel free to leave your own here.
Alan Klein thinks AIG execs should be publicly humiliated, then shot in a public square for high treason. Oh, and then they should be dismembered.
CNBC’s host of “Mad Money” Jim Cramer — and the entire network — received a well-deserved beat down from member-of-the-tribe Jon Stewart on last night’s “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central.
Cramer was squirming as Stewart showed shocking clip after clip of the Mad Money maven being caught up in lies and in cheating investors and the SEC — all of which caused Cramer to backpedal relentlessly throughout the interview.
Some are congratulating Cramer for his appearance on The Daily Show. While it certainly took balls on Cramer’s part to appear (just to have ‘em cut off by Stewart), it does not make up for his transgressions nor those of his mother ship, CNBC.
Be sure to watch all three parts of the interview:
Putz is a Yiddish word that means penis. It is used to describe a fool or a jerk. It is the perfect word to describe The Pope, Benedict XVI.
He has decided to embrace a Holocaust-denying Bishop in order to, in his words, rehabilitate him. The Pope lifted the excommunication of Bishop Richard Williamson, an ultra-conservative, who recently said “there were no gas chambers” during the Holocaust, and, according to the Huffington Post, the bigoted Bishop recently went on Swedish state television with his outlandish anti-Semitic claims. In the TV interview he said that historical evidence is “is hugely against 6 million Jews having been deliberately gassed.”
Here’s the Williamson interview on YouTube:
Every major Jewish group is demanding that Pope Putz reverse his decision. You can make your voice heard by visiting the Simon Wiesenthal Center‘s Website. You can also visit the Anti-Defamation League for more information.
In this new series on ObsessiveJew.com we will explore a different Yiddish word each week.
This will either help you to expand your Yiddish vocabulary (though since this is a nearly dead language, that has almost no practical value), or vastly increase your ability to hurl insults at just about anyone for doing just about anything you don’t like (this has immense practical value!).
Our first word is Schmuck.
schmuck (also shmuck)
noun informal pejorative
A foolish or contemptibleperson. A dimwitted fool or an unwanted guest. A clumsy or stupid person; an oaf.
ORIGINlate 19th cent.: from Yiddish shmok ‘penis.’
Schmucku.com defines a schmuck’s behavior as ranging from “A schmuck’s behavior ranges from pesky and inconsiderate, to obnoxious and manipulative. A schmuck’s personality type ranges from jerk to bastard.”
One site even features a “Shmuck of the Month!” (The site’s most-recently featured schmuck is Joe Lieberman.)
Posting this from my iPhone 3G at 3:00 in the morning. No wonder I’m such a grouch lately in this suburb that goes to sleep too early. They call it the city of Los Angeles but it’s not a city by my definition.
More on that later.
Oh, and to the schmuck on eBay that committed to buy my 1st generation iPhone and then flaked: Screw you!!

In case you couldn’t figure it out
The KvetchFest at ObsessiveJew.com is the place to kvetch — or, as the Gentiles say, to complain. ObsessiveJew.com is a cornucopia of complaints born from the suffering of two very obsessive native New York Jews.
If you are are severely humor impaired, you may not realize that ObsessiveJew.com is a tongue-in-cheek Website.
ObsessiveJew.com is not intended to offend but if you can't figure that out for yourself then you should rent a clue (it's cheaper than buying)!
