Hey, is Art Spiegelman in the house? Or some other cartoonist of semitic spirit? Anita Kunz, artist for this week’s New Yorker cover, does not qualify, regardless of her religious background. Maybe she went to shul as a child, who knows? No matter — she’s from Toronto; that must be her problem. In the New [...]
Read MoreIt looks like I’ll not be eating my cachucha (meaning hat, for those without the time to email “Ask a Mexican”). According to today’s Las Cruces Sun News, that Joint Terrorism Task Force report about Iraqis smuggled across the border, which I wrote about yesterday, is most likely utter mierda.

On August 24, 2006, Salon.com posted an opinion piece I wrote titled “Why I Need to See Child Porn.” Almost immediately afterward, New York Times lawyers, a personal lawyer of Eichenwald, and Eichenwald himself contacted Salon. Eichenwald said he had not looked at any material illegally, although my op-ed assumed he had, [...]
