The views presented on this site in no way reflects those of my employer, family, friends, acquaintances or distant cousins as these generally fall into three categories: the smart ones that agree with me, those that tolerate me because of my wit, charm, great intellect and modesty, and those who think that I'm a raving wingnut who's one Kennedy away from going medieval on the next vegan moonbat that barks.
I do not do links for the sake of reciprocity. I link only to those sites that I read and I only read RSS feeds. Feel free to send me a link to your site and I'll take a look. If I like it, and if you have a feed, I'll add you to my blogroll.

Dr. Eugene Korn has resigned from his post as director of interfaith affairs for the Anti-Defamation League.
Rabbi Korn has come into focus lately for his sharp criticisms of Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ:
The film fails to depict even one Jew who is not a proto-Christian as opposing the execution or having any compassion for a brutalized and mutilated victim. Quite the contrary, it graphically depicts a huge Jewish mob and all Jewish authorities forcing an unwilling Pilate to execute Jesus
Many people were uncomfortable with how the ADL handled the apparent attack on the film and it is rumored that this is the reason for Korn's departure, although a closer look suggests that there were a wide range of issues involved.
Whatever the reason, this is a setback for in the Jewish organization's quest for stronger ties with other faiths.
