Millions of babies, the Holocaust, and gender segregation. It’s the weekend!

January 31, 2010

I spent this Saturday morning being told I was the byproduct of a silent Holocaust, so my weekend went really well. It started when our friends had a baby, which, amongst other things, caused my mom to shift into overdrive: Our friends just had a very cute baby girl and they invited us to the Hebrew naming ceremony at an Orthodox-ish synagogue.  I immediately sensed that this would be a bad experience from the minute we walked in and I ...

Today on Facebook, I was lamenting my life, as usual: This comes from my rigorous economic analysis of the recent MTV phenomenon Jersey Shore, which I have been studying every Thursday night at 10:00 pm EST.   The cast members, who, in real life, were working at jobs such as assistant gym manger (The Situation),  a DJ (Pauly D) and a receptionist (Snookie), are now earning a reported $10,000 per appearance, plus security and transportation. Meanwhile, the only thing I get ...
