Hocks about anything and everything

So I am playing around with Blogger and I screw up. I changed the layout of my page :-) Thank you thank you, if anyone notices this...and I managed to get my comments to show...But I lost the link to my guest book. You see I am not completely computer illiterate, but somewhat and therefore after not having blogged in such a long time, I lose out. So hope you all add your comments here and feel free to tell me how to add my guest book link here (which I forgot the link itself).

I was going to blog away, but I have lost the interest in the topic for now, so I will just sign off here. I don't think anyone is reading since the last post in the gb is awhile ago, and I have updated since.

So, for now, I bid you farewell and have a great Shabbos.

Why? Why? Why???

Okay, I am back with a vengeance. I have seen there are those who are looking for me and trying to figure out where I went, and what has happened to me! So I decided to find some time and hock away.

Always the Jews. Why are we always in the newspaper? Why? Why? Why? When something major happens somehow the other person who is not in the limelight, but the cause, is Jewish. Let me explain myself.

We all remember when President Clinton shenanigans made the paper? The person involved with him, Monica Lewinsky, was of course, Jewish. She wasn’t the main attraction back then. But still, her father was Jewish, that made her Jewish in the media’s eyes.

So what am I talking about now? Well, as some of you may know because you live in NJ, while most live out of NY metropolitan area…let me tell you. The Governor of New Jersey is stepping down from office because of his discretion with…and Israeli Jew. Let us not go into details the morals of the family man… how wrong it was what he has done. But let’s focus on his “partner in crime”. An Israeli man. A Jew. See. We are in the paper again. And again and again. And usually it is not for the good. Why is that? Why is Kushner in the paper? The top supporter of days schools in New Jersey?! Why why why?
Why are not so careful with what we do? Why do we let ourselves get caught? Or better yet, why do we do something that will get us in trouble and in the papers? A Jew who supports his schools (they are named after his family) and Jewish institutions. On the board of a major “yeshivish” college…and now that gets dragged into the media and being checked out. Do we really need the government checking our every step? Don’t we learn? Will we ever learn that we are never too safe and that when things are going smoothly…something will come along and shake us all up?

Why is the man denying things? Why was he given such powerful jobs that he was NOT qualified for? A job paying over 100 grand a year for something he didn’t have the credentials for? Why was he getting a paycheck for something he knew nothing about and never showed up for? Why was he friends with those mentioned above? Yet claiming he was coerced. What is going on here? Is there more than meets the eye? I am sure there is, and we just need to wait and see.
