Happy Shavuot to Debbie and all the Jewish readers here as well as those other readers who celebrates the holiday.

I wish I knew something witty and Yiddish to say here, but we will miss you Debbie Dear.

If I were to write a thesis for a masters degree in Political Science, I think I would title it: “The Ten Commandments As Written by the U.S. Congress.”

Those clods can take the simplest concepts and complicate them to the nth degree of absurdity.

Thou Shalt Not Steal. (Except as prescribed by the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. International collaboration by fixing the price of petroleum is fully exempt from this commandment.)

Thou Shalt Not Murder (except as prescribed by the executive order of the President of the United States. Murder shall not constitute the use of aerial bombardment by the U.S. Air Force by executive order without a declaration of war. Murder of Jews by Muslims is exempt. Murder of Israelis is exempt because everybody knows “they deserve it”.)

Thou shalt not commit Adultery (except when it involves young White House interns. Hollywood stars who support ultra-liberal causes are exempt.)

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor (except when it’s called “America’s Affordable Health Care Act”. False witness against thy neighbor does not apply to anti-Israel media coverage of The Jewish State.)

Know there is one Gd (except when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in California. In California, Gd can only be recognized when Gd interrupts you and says: “Do me a favor. Could you say ‘Gd’ instead of ‘Ma’am? It’s just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title.”)

I am the Lord your Gd who brought you out of the land of Egypt (except if you’re the President of the United States. In that case, go back to Egypt and tell them you’re sorry you left.)

Honor your Father and your Mother (That goes DOUBLE when forging your birth certificate to become President of the United States!)

Keep the Sabbath Holy (Every day is Sabbath if you can take vacation time on the American Taxpayers’ money!)

Thou shalt not worship any graven image (except when the graven image says “in Gd We Trust” or has some other commercial value.)

Do not take Gd’s name in vain (unless you’re singing “Gd Bless America” because you’re glad you’re at a commercial sporting event. Theatrical venues are exempt; Gd’s name may be taken in vain in theatrical venues because it has “artistic value”.)

Thou shalt not covet (except when engaging in “class warfare”. In this case, it is totally justified because nobody could have possibly obtained affluence without “cheating”.)

The thought has occurred to me that I have just started somebody’s “homework”. Oh well! I’m already gainfully employed and content. Let some other jerk steal my idea and make it their own.

Regards,

There is NO Santa Claus (aka TINSC)

Miss Schlussel, Et Alii:

“Chag Shavuot Sameach!”

Thank you for teaching us that holiday greeting.

Now, if ONLY I knew somebody I could say that to – – – ?

I normally stay up all night long EVERY night, one of the benefits of being an elderly retiree.

Chag shavuoth sameah.

There may not be a god, but at least we acknowledge the foundation of a civilized society.

Go easy on the cheesecake, eh?

Bless you, Debbie, today, on this wonderful Holiday and every day.
