I found myself faced with an incredible challenge yesterday, it was a lull at work and the chef offered to pay for starbucks if I’d drive. I wish she would have said “lets get something at starbucks” and not offered to pay, because starbucks is gross. However, in order to stay true to my cheap, penny pinching, hook nosed heeb – mesorah I had to oblige and figure out what I could get at Starbucks that wasn’t water, even their water tastes over roasted (burnt, for all of you folks who don’t know taste guava, honeysuckle, leather, and citrus when you drink coffee) So I went on to the kosher starbucks website to see what’s actually kosher at starbucks, because I find most people will keep strict kosher, but when it comes to actually making sure something is kosher in a starbucks or bar, they suddenly become too pussy to figure it out.

For all of you who don’t know, I wrote a post last week that was based on the quote of someone in a closed Off The Derech community on Facebook.

This is such a darned good video, it’s funny and it’s just quite interesting because this shows some good old right wing hypocrisy. Now before you jump down my pants, those darned liberals are hypocrites too.

Orthodox Jews in Israel celebrated a new app that works on kosher phones, the app is designed to warn drivers when they are coming upon a gay mob. Many unfortunate incidents happen in Israel when the Ultra-Orthodox happen upon gay mobs, so someone bright enough to create an app to warn of such abominations is being called a hero by many Charedim today. The app also warns drivers when they are accidentally driving into a gay neighborhood and gives them options as to how to escape the tumah (impurity) quickly without having to don bags.
