I just read your article on the jewish singles
scene, and I could not stop laughing. I just came home from a
JCC Manhattan Channukah event for singles and was feeling frustrated with
the evening to say the least. Although I am coming at it from the
female perspective, I completely understood your excellent rants.
This should not be this difficult!

Did you know that over 50% of the people who make up Pat
Buchanan's inner circle are Jews? Pat Buchanan is neither an
anti-Semite nor a racist. Pat Buchanan IS, however, a man who is
willing to think for himself and come to logical conclusions not matter
how unfashionable they may be.

Are you the guy who chews his tongue? Me too.
I am 41 and have never met or heard of anyone else who does it. It doesn't
worry me except I wonder if you can get cancer from it (one doctor raised
the issue; another said not to worry). Email me back and we can say more.

Loved your latest Wit Memo on the Wolfgang/Greenbaum
character. Very incisive. One small nitpick: misspelling of one of
my favorite authors (and seemingly one of yours): Philip Roth has only
one "L."

I was surprised when my husband, Hy Greenbaum, told me there were all
kinds of articles on the e-net about our son, Britt
(Davis Hawke). It seems to me that publicity, good or bad, it
what individuals like my son crave. In spite of my efforts to raise
him "TO DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU", somewhere
along the line, possibly in elementary school, where children not only
teased him about being Jewish, but also threw him across chairs, destroyed
his homework, etc...........not to mention the time his 4th grade teacher
told him to "shut up and sit down" when he was presenting his family tree
full of my ancestry (Chief Justice John Marshall, Thomas Jefferson (they
were cousins) and many other famous forefathers of our country),
Britt learned to be ashamed of his father's ancestry through his interactions
with other people. Although I knew about the abuse he was being subjected
to in elementary school, there was little I could do ... [SNIP]
... TO WIT, perhaps you yourself had a few bad experiences, since
you too are hiding behind a computer screen poking fun at others and delighting
in it. . . .

Do you follow all of the purity laws in Deuteronomy
and Leviticus? There are quite a lot of them. Do you avoid contact
with menstruating women, for example? Just curious.

I just read your article about the Jewish Singles
scene in DC (I just did a search) ... you hit it on the money! Do you
live in DC area? Do you write professionally?

Mah shlomkha?!
I'm a Messianic Jew and understand what you mean about the "God
was kiddin'" excuses many Christians give when confronted with the
eternal nature of God's law. To put it truthfully, we Bible Christians
(except for the Brit Chaddasha and Kippot) are quite similar to religious
Jews in lifestyle: we eat only kosher foods, prepare on yom Shishi,
rest on shabbat (sundown to sundown, Bible style), and enjoy the laws that
God has blessed His people with for millennia.

On your list of Dubya nicknames you include
this entry: Columnist Ann Coulter - "Shrilly" Can you provide me
with a source, and/or the context of the usage of that nickname.

I have to be honest and say lately I have been so swamped I end up deleting
more often than finishing reading. Can you take me off the list?
