On Becoming Jewish:
I. Obama’s foreign policy adviser, Tony Lake, was at NYU today, talking to students at the Bronfman Center about why he thinks the Democratic presidential hopeful is so great.

Here is a link with an audio excerpt

II. And here is Christopher Hitchens, explaining how he found out he was (technically speaking) Jewish. Watch the first installment.

Fairy muff.
Thank you (she said meekly)
