eing in the united states on the fourth of july one man told me when i returned to my seat the service complete we repaired to a small social hall which the group filled nicely and went at a spread of gefilte fish herring and other masterworks of our faith i stayed a while eating talking and left much more confident than i had been mid service yes the demographic slide is a true worry but when did the jews not face worries originally published in the sun times october 4 2009 posted by neil steinberg at 12 00 am 18 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday july 1 2026 ringing liberty out of a cracked bell you re familiar with the liberty bell right big bell with a crack in it on display in philadelphia long associated with the american revolution though there s no evidence it was rung at any significant event one of those confused quirks of history like george washington s mythic chopping down a cherry tree do you know what s written on the liberty bell i won t keep you in suspense proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof a line from leviticus 25 a passage that in some ways is about farming every seventh year is to be a sabbath the land will not be planted but lie fallow a smart agricultural practice essential before advanced fertilizers and every seventh sabbath 7 x 7 the 50th year would be a jubilee what was a jubilee big party lots of back patting maybe the hebrew word for jubilee yovel means ram s horn or trumpet the way news was blasted across the desert a cue taken in english jubilee is from the latin jubilo or shout of joy that s where we get jubilation they weren t shouting general self praise nor self assigned greatness but about something real something big the jubilee year was sort of a societal reset when all debts would be forgiven slaves freed seized lands returned a fresh start for those downtrodden by life it was about humbling the mighty not building them up further do not take advantage of each other leviticus urges not quite i feel comfortable saying the spirit we find afoot in the land today during our american quintuple jubilee the 250th anniversary of a country conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal no need to spell it out either you understood long ago or you never will to continue

impressive production of the elephant man at the theatre building on belmont avenue in a big top setting with sawdust on the floor one line particularly moved me carried on a card by one of the circus girls who came out between acts art is nothing as to nature that said art can still enhance nature whether it is hanging enormous chihuly glassworks at the garfield park conservatory in 2001 or as the chicago botanic garden did for its 50th anniversary inviting artists to create site specific works such as patrick dougherty s rookery which was so marvelous they kept it for a second year this year features giant bubbles or to be more precise evanescent by atelier sisu a sydney based art and design studio founded by peruvian sculptor renzo b larriviere and australian spatial architect zara pasfield it was installed june 6 the rainbow spheres were not created particularly for the botanic garden but have been seen in 22 cities across 12 countries from auckland new zealand to toronto canada they fit in nicely of course we go to the garden a lot and while we say that it is different every time we visit with the giant orbs it s really different or as the great irish writer brendan behan once said a change is as good as a rest the word evanescent as you may know means according to my oed that which quickly vanishes or passes away having no permanence in this case the show is up until sept 20 which will be here quickly enough as summer fleets too posted by neil steinberg at 12 00 am 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday june 29 2026 technology gives women upper hand in abortion battle technology is a friend to women oh it helps men too with its laser levels and helix 5 fishfinders but society places particular burdens on women through the constraints of religion and marriage the treadmill of family obligation technology levels the field a bit with its way of swinging open the cage door advances we think of as benign today like the bicycle were revolutionary for women when introduced allowing them a path out of the house unchaperoned mobility and a reason to wear pants all in one fell swoop particularly medical technology for centuries the prospect of pregnancy went arm in arm with the harangues of moralists until chicago s own g d searle released enovid the first birth control pill in 1960 and suddenly women could do what they want instead of what they re told spoiler alert they wanted to have sex without worrying about babies there s an entrancing book on the subject the birth of the pill how four crusaders reinvented sex and launched a revolution by my pal jonathan eig he gives a great early history of the battle to wrest control over women s bodies from pious men spotlighting margaret sanger who popularized the term birth control and opened the first clinic in 1916 later shut down by police since even a pamphlet describing contraception was considered obscene and illegal to send through the united states mail we are steadily sliding back toward those days moralists have hitched their wagon to would be totalitarians with restricting the right of a woman to control her own body and the babies hereby saved being the central plum used to rationalize depriving everybody male and female of all sorts of other basic rights such as the ability to cast a ballot unhindered four years ago the trump packed supreme court reversed roe v wade the 1973 ruling that made abortion legal throughout this country thirteen states promptly banned it even in cases of rape or incest the same religious zealots in a lather because a 12 year old might check out judy blume s forever from the public library would force her to have a baby and what was the result of banning abortion for 40 of american women the practice is way up 21 since 2020 because of our old friend medical technology in the form of the ru 486 a two drug regimen that is safe effective and can be sent through the mail you would think this failure might humble those hot to impose their religion upon others which is what banning abortion is the enforcement of christian morality through law but nothing humbles them and now some on the anti abortion crowd are considering this exciting next step charging women who have abortions with murder this hasn t yet been done for two reasons first because the whole killing babies bit is just a religious construct like santa claus rhetoric used because it works so effectively the tell the giveaway is that while doctors can be prosecuted for performing abortions and friends for driving the women to clinics the actual murderess herself putting this supposed crime in motion is generally left alone to continue reading click here posted by neil steinberg at 12 00 am 38 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday june 28 2026 flashback 1999 we need some cartoonists who can draw straight t he gay pride parade is today which is a relief normally there is quite a bit of advance hoopla and this year was so quiet i began to worry the lbgtq crowd had gone to ground hunkering down to ride out the grim no end in sight night of rights shredding oppression inflicted upon the united states by our republican friends as the above paragraph pretty well sums up my thinking on the topic rather than grind something out on a beautiful saturday that really called for a long walk in the chicago botanical garden followed by an even longer nap i reached into my cupboard of oldies and dug out this it s interesting for several reasons first notice that i never even mention the tv show featuring the out of the closet character tinky winky that s how famous they were i d written about their mesmeric influence on my children the year before second it s satire i m writing in the voice of the keyhole peering moralists trusting my readers to be in on the joke i wouldn t do that nowadays when it can be hard to tell whether someone posting an opinion is sharing what they assume will be read as an exaggerated ludicrous mockery or just sharing how they actually feel anyway thought you might like this happy pride so jerry falwell thinks tinky winky is gay well of course he is aren t all beloved childhood characters gay batman and robin what was that about what was going on with them youthful ward dick grayson indeed obviously gay tinky winky fred flintstone and barney rubble gay the lone ranger and tonto gay teenage mutant ninja turtles gay gay gay gay i won t even start with bert and ernie on sesame street whose blatant and undeniable gayness was well documented five years ago by the rev joseph chambers a north carolina pentecostal minister who blew the whistle on the pair s unnatural arrangement they re two grown men sharing a house and a bedroom he said in his radio telecast they share clothes they eat and cook together they vacation together and they have effeminate characteristics heck using that standard what comic character isn t gay listen to mickey mouse speak lately obvious and whom does he pal around with goofy donald duck not exactly what you would call he men don t for a moment be swayed by the surface glibness of the response by the children s television workshop to chambers timely and helpful observations about the sesame street sodomites bert and ernie have no sexual orientation they re cloth puppets puh leeze people such as ourselves intelligent people who have the sophistication to uncover the vast global united nations conspiracy to undermine our country and sap it of its vital bodily fluids are not duped easily by such sophistries granted tinky winky as falwell points out is more over the top than most with his red patent leather purse triangular symbol of gay acceptance stuck to his head and purple color that actually was new to me falwell explains that purple is the gay pride color who knew i thought it was the rainbow goodness if purple helps make tinky winky gay then what about barney the purple dinosaur he must be really really gay not only is he purple but he hangs around kids and his first name is barney exactly the same first name as openly gay congressman barney frank how clear do they have to make it before we are willing to see the more i study the evidence the more i realize that this conspiracy has been going on for years i grew up on bugs bunny now who was bugs really a single male without wife or family a bachelor prone to witty quips sort of an oscar wilde type really often wearing women s clothes dressing up like carmen miranda with fruit on his head and lipstick to foil elmer fudd elmer fudd good lord are we blind the lisping fudd i don t buy that speech impediment cover story for an instant is a living catalog of the personality traits that southern ministers associate with gayness so bugs bunny and elmer fudd are obviously a feuding gay couple a veritable la cage aux folles of the cartoon world it s amazing any of us grew to maturity with our precious heterosexuality intact now i will admit that not every single children s character is gay some are merely satanic how anybody could watch even five minutes of the big comfy couch and not be overwhelmed by the images of sex and devil worship is a mystery you have loonette this clown girl lounging about on her sofa of indolence talking to a doll molly who acts like a living person the dead that live shades of unnaturalism in nearly every show loonette fails to please molly so obviously her master so clearly a beelzebub figure and has to try to soothe her doll s inflamed feelings because this is a family newspaper i cannot fully analyze the major bedhead character other than to mention his form revealing costume and the lubricity of his name bedhead major bed head it couldn t be any clearer if they named him mister hot sex on the sofa right now with satan what i would like to propose are some new children s shows that are not gay when you see how easily it could be done you ll realize how brainwashed we have been mr normal s workhouse enjoy processing insurance claims with joe normal who talks sports with his office mates bill pete and steve all have families children are home where they belong rev mike dagger maverick minister karate kicks and bible verses fly as father dagger manly and unashamed of it teaches his sunday school class a new lesson each week by pounding the daylights out of drug dealers liquor salesmen and any other wrongdoers spot the friendly ball spot avoids the pitfalls of most affectionate children s characters by being a simple beachball he doesn t talk doesn t sing but children love him anyway and learn important lessons like cooperation by tossing him around i could easily fly to los angeles right now and make big money by selling these ideas to television but i m not too much is at stake i m offering them freely to whoever wants them in the hopes of salvaging our beloved way of life

27 2026 sunlit leaf god these computer systems are maddening so thursday night my apple imac asks me in a little box in the upper right corner of the screen if i want to download the new version of the tahoe software sure why not what do i have to fear with my smokin new computer bought this year keep all the fixes and security patches up to date i hardly thought about it this morning i wake up

could take them by what right is this the future high tech creeps in the back door and rearranges your pantry you d think human agency could make it happen and maybe it can because i dealt with a variety of robots on apple support walking me through useless stuff i d already gone through it drove me crazy that i couldn t make it work at times it seemed so close i didn t spend the day doing it but i thought about what to do a lot i m a solver a figure it outer and when things won t solve it preys on my mind okay big deal so i ll use the cloud instead of photo shrug and move on rub your
