Welsh Rarebit is actually cheese on bread. So I think it's Kosher as long as you use Rye bread.

I'm there, too. I take solace in the fact that she's a continent away (not that proximity would get me past the obvious hurdles).

And, yes, that's a nice feather in TNC's cap. Surely moment to savor and if that sounds too meager, life doesn't deal out too many of those to anyone. Savor away !

How come I've never seen that Fried Chicken thing before?

I need to get out more. That's amazing.

I don't keep kosher, so I don't know. I'm pretty sure it's OK to watch Bugs Bunny cartoons, though.

Is Welsh rarebit (rabbit?) Kosher?

also...

so if someone calls you (paraphrased) inarticulate...as opposed to the qustionable praise of "you are so articulate" this must make you a "run of the mill" black person in their eyes...oh the horror

Oh, my, do I express myself that badly? I wasn't pissed off, nor did I feel disrespected. Just a bit...vexed, as one might be by references to 'misoginy', 'rasism' or 'homofobia'. For my part, I have to look it up almost every time I type 'feminism'...

I kind of like Jewrabbit, too. Except rabbit isn't kosher.

"Your post about the Jews is particularly offensive, as it relies on a stereotyped perception of the Jewish community and the manner in which it affects culture and public perception."

Talk about selfing. Guy either read just one sentence of that post, or has a mind-boggling lack of reading comprehension. Is it too late to sign up for the TNC Jewish bodyguard membership?

Congrats on the well-earned recognition.

I meant no disrespect. It's a typo in a comments thread. Where we were joking around. It's like me getting pissed every time someone in comments calls me Ta-Nehesi or THC.

We can't get through a thread without pissing someone off. Even a jokey one.

Jewrabbit! I told you guys this thread rules...

Nice. Looking at it again (it wasn't exactly clearly written, ironically), I realize that what the writer is really saying is, "I don't understand what you are saying, but I am offended by it." Like in the cartoons, man..

I feel like I'm in high school realizing a band I love just got popular.

Seriously, yes. I can't imagine how the people who were reading before Yglesias had him guest blog must feel.

I agree. Moreover, anti-semitism sounds like a clinical condition.

Btw: Judenhaas means Jewrabbit and rhymes with Nas (the rapper). Hass means hate and rhymes with cuss.

I always felt Anti-Semitic to be the latter-day, watered-down euphemism. To boot, it permits ethnic Semites to play deceptive wordgames. Call it what it is: Judenhaas.

When Rachel Maddow says "beautiful writer" she means "smokin' hottie". In a dignified, supportive, nurturing lesbian-friend-praising-her-straight-bud way, of course.

When XXXXXXX says, "rarely read but often find incohesive monetary fashion," (s)he means "superfine smokin' hottie I can't even write sentences no more!"

I mean that, by the way, for all you guys. Jews, too...

OK, I hate to rain on things here, and god knows you're not the only offender, even in this thread, but could I most respectfully and affectionately ask one thing of you?

It's spelled 'anti-semitic'. Hyphen more or less optional, as is a capital 's'.
