    Coffee was 5 cents and

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    When comedians were actually funny.
    Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, Robin Williams, Jay Leno, Steve Martin. Even as recent as Seinfeld.
    When SNL was funny.
