They Dare Not Speak Its Name

Jewdar is as opposed to "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" as the next guy…unless the next guys are Admiral Mike Mullen and Sec. of Defense Robert Gates. Is it just Jewdar, or does this picture suggest that there’s something about these guys that they’re not telling?

JD Salinger Dead at 91

Great, now nobody gets me.

Jewdar vs. President Obama

As of last week, Jewdar has officially joined the anti-Obama crowd. For a long time, we were satisfied that, even though not much seemed to be getting done, what could you expect, given the ginormous mess Obama had inherited. Then, beginning a couple of months ago, we decided that ginormous mess or not, Obama was...

Alexander the (Not) Great

The fast-paced world of new media often leads eager beaver online journalistos to write hastily in order to beat the competition. Sometimes, though, it’s good to take a moment for consideration. When Jewdar first read that Seinfeld alum Jason Alexander was joining the ranks of Kirstie Allie and Valerie Bertinelli (above, with Alexander) as a...

Meeting of the Minds

We have no idea what this is all about, but for those of you who have ever wondered what would happen if the Lubavitcher Rebbe and Theodore Herzl planned a kiddush together, remember, if you can will it, it is no dream.

Chinese, Japanese. . .

The new Karate Kid flick doesn't know the difference.

Backward: Authenticity and the Jewish Paper of Record

Don’t get us wrong. Jewdar has been subscribing to The Forward for a long time. There’s no shortage of good stuff in there that you can’t get anywhere else (apparently, paying your writers a living wage brings results, Josh Neuman). But whether it was the dropping of JJ Goldberg from the masthead or whether there’s...

Jewdar’s Christmas Tradition

As a member of the Jew-controlled media, we’re supposed to be on the front lines in the war against Christmas, and most of the time, we’re okay with that. But even we in the Jewdar home are not completely immune to the allure of the season, and thus, we find ourselves every Christmas eve with...

Hey Bartender, Give Me a Vodka Gentile!

Every now and then something comes across the Jewdar desk that leaves us flummoxed. Latest on the list isKabbalah Vodka. According to what we’ve been able to ascertain, a Russian company called "EZ Protocols" has come out with a line of premium vodka in ten different bottles, each bearing the name of one of the...

Top Ten Reasons for the Disappearance of the Auschwitz Sign

Update: The "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign has been recovered. Five men have been detained for the theft and it sounds like they stole it for financial reasons. Though an investigation is underway, it’s still unclear whether these men committed the world’s dumbest heist all on their own or were hired by some rich anti-Semitic weirdo....

Tootsie Rolls Go Kosher

Oh, foolish gentiles. Don’t you realize that the only reason to abandon the true path of Torah and Mitzvos is to partake of your tasty treyf treats? If all your pagan delicacies were kosher, nothing would tempt us from the path. Well, you’ve given us Nutter Butters, Vitarroz Guava Paste, and Mentos (okay, only in...

The Invention of Shlomo Sand

As Humor Editor of America’s Longest Running Jewish Sight Gag, Jewdar is not unaccustomed to being accused of providing ammunition to the enemies of Israel, the Jewish people and good taste in general. In those rare occasions where such charges have any basis (okay, so maybe the last one isn’t so rare), we can sleep...
