"I may be only half human, but even I continue to mourn the wholesale slaughter of babies and their civilian parents in Gaza. I wonder at the depraved indifference -- or worse -- of some people to Israel's US-funded apartheid/genocide of the Palestinian people, and wonder how they can dismiss someone as 'uninformed' or 'deeply troubled' simply because their natural human empathy brings them to agree in this matter with Amnesty International, Richard Goldstone, Noam Chomsky, Norman Finklestein, Eric Alterman, Tony Judt, Howard Zinn, Roger Cohen, Michelle Goldberg, Adam Horowitz, Philip Weiss, Leon Wieseltier, Michael Walzer, Medea Benjamin, Naomi Klein, Rabbi Brant Rosen, Brit Tzedek v'Shalom, Ta'anit Tzedek, Jewish Voice for Peace, American Jews for a Just Peace, Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, Spencer Ackerman, Dana Goldstein, Hannah Schwarzschild, Alexander van Leer, Jane Fonda, Viggo Mortensen, Danny Glover, Julie Christie, Eve Ensler, Desmond Tutu, Jimmy Carter, Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, Brian Baird, Keith Ellison, Rush Holt, Donna Edwards, Sir Gerald Kaufman, and countless others. Perhaps I am mistaken, and it is not depraved indifference that prevents people from speaking out against Israel's US-funded crimes against humanity, but instead hypocrisy and careerism. AIPAC is ruthless and has demonstrated its propensity to destroy the political and/or show business careers of any in the US who dare to suggest Israel's policies are anything but infallible. Multibillionaire Israel chauvinists like media moguls Rupert Murdoch, New York Mayor-for-Life Generalissimo Michael Bloomberg, Sumner Redstone and others take a dim view of that. Since Redstone with his Viacom empire owns most media outlets available to comedy/variety acts such as Comedy Central, MTV, BET, Showtime, Paramount, CBS, and I am an aficionado of comic genius, I wonder how the late Bill Hicks, nonpareil compulsive truth teller and screamingly funny stand-up, would have fared in today's climate."

I'm scared, Morris...cats keep following me when I walk past Fulton Street
Abe, why did that blind man in the dark alley say 'Hello Lady' to me?
I'm tired of living in a goldfish bowl, Sheldon
It's called 'Downward Facing Flounder,' Manny, and maybe it will help?

Momma always told me to wear clean underwear in case I get gaffed in the lip and dragged on board a trawler.

That's how I like my men, Izzy: Firm, tender and with sliced onions and capers.
Mordy, any yutz knows the difference between "sable" the antelope and "sable" the smoked cod fish appetizer.
Yes, Leo, I would mind if you smoke salmon.
It's the sephardics that like butter and salt, Riffy. My family is always served with cream cheese.

It's easy for you to say, Sy, you're not the one with barnacles stuck to your ass...
This neighborhood used to be nice ... until all the crustaceans started moving in.
The plural of "larva" is "larvae" not "larvas," Fusilli you ignorant bastard.
We NEED to talk about it, Zalman...We haven't spawned since spring. Do you find my species unattractive? Or is it just me?

You seem quite calm, Artie. What if EMS CAN'T get the rest of the costume off and restore circulation to my legs without taking me to the St. Vincent's...like the time the double dong broke in me?

By the way, you need to get me back before high tide ends, or your dick falls off...

How would you like it, Gabe, if I ripped out your gastro-intestinal system and called it "deveining?"
Heshy, please, can we try Arizona or California this winter? I'm sick of all the rude New Yorkers that flock to the Gulfstream.
Would it kill you, Jake, to give me something bright and shiny that isn't attached to a hook and 200 pound test?
I've seen filets with more backbone than you, Irving.
It happened at Sheepshead Bay, and it was a very long time ago, Louie.
Whatever, Ronnie. I can always join a freak show. But you're a douchebag lawyer for life.

At least you can hide the fact that you are half Sasquatch by covering your tail and opposable thumbs on your feet with clothing and shoes. What am I supposed to do, put wheels on a bath tub and roll into work every day?

Can you believe it's been more than twenty-five years since "Splash!"...is Daryl Hannah even still alive?
...so when I asked for some rouille with my bouillabiasse the waiter said "You're soaking in it" and played me off with that dreadful keyboard cat...
"Just one, but she gets electrocuted because she's screwing in the lightbulb underwater."
"I'm getting tired of the same old routine, Yuvie. You read, I show you my tits, and morons propose clever captions and anti-captions until some deadline passes. How about we take a stance...end it right here and now...shake things up: LET'S GO ANAL TONIGHT!!!!"
