GOP elects new majority leader

Ohio's John Boehner has been elected as the new Majority Leader. I thought it was too important so I am posting the link to the NJDC article on his views which run counter to Jewish values whether you are a Democrat or a Republican! Here are some of the issues that Rep. Boehner favors:
-For School Prayer and Amending the Constitution
-For Forced Religion in Anti-Poverty Programs
-100% Against a Woman's Right to Choose
-For Religious Employment Discrimination
-Against the Rule of Law in Ten Commandments Case
-Against Common-Sense Environmental Safeguards
-For More Religious Employment Discrimination
-Against Confronting Proselytizing at the Air Force Academy
-Led the Effort to Inject Religious Employment Discrimination into Head Start
-Pushed Ohio Schools to Embrace "Intelligent Design"


Gov. Tim Kaine has started the Moving Virginia Forward PAC.

Resh, a Mossad operative, writes his opinion about Steven Spielberg's Munich in The Forward.

Other than being somewhat overprotective of their children, what is a Jewish mother?
Actress-comedian Judy Gold kicks off her new one-woman show, "25 Questions for a Jewish Mother," with a question put to her by her own smothering Jewish mom. Gold plays an answering machine message in which the senior Gold — always quick to assume the worst — asks Judy, who is in her 40s, if the reason she has not picked up the phone is that she's fallen and hurt herself. And this is no isolated incident: When Gold was a teenager, her mother sent her to school attached to a ticking egg timer to ensure that her daughter made it home on time.
Seems like an interesting comedy.

In other news, my weekend has begun.
