Today is Purim – a day when Jews worldwide will shoot Vodka, dance in circles, and eat baked goods. OK, I tend to do that every week, but whatever. In some ways, I’m an overachieving Jew. In others, I’m most certainly underachieving. It’s all about balance, right?
So if you know a Jewish person, wish them a happy Purim; and if they’re hungover tomorrow, point and laugh. It’s what I would do and I’d expect nothing less from anyone else. I’d also dump a glass of water on your head – water I was chugging in a vain attempt to combat my hungoverness.
And just ‘cause I’m nice, I wrote “Purim” in Hebrew (cursive) for you. My Microsoft Paint talents are second to none.
In other news, PA demands apology from Libya's Gadhafi for calling Palestinians 'idiots.' Gadhafi also called the Israelis idiots, to which Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev responded: "It takes one to know one."

When I read the “PA demands apology,” I wondered why Pennsylvania would care about Arafat. I hate abbreviations. Also, a religious holiday centered around drinking? Are you sure you’re not Catholic? You'd fit in well.

"Jew Bling?" The Hip-hop Hasidics? Mazel Tof, unless that's inappropriate, in which case, happy Purim.
