NY Times: Make The Hasidim Walk To Wal-Mart 

In the social circles of the New York Times editorialists, it's OK to have one kid. Two is pushing the envelope. Three or more is déclassé, and a threat to the survival of the planet.

That being so, there's really no reason to let any car bigger than a Prius be built. Doing so just encourages the unenlightened to overbreed. And so it is that in its editorial of today, the Grey-but-barren Lady suggests that as a condition of the Detroit bailout, "Congress could consider demanding that Detroit simply phase out S.U.V.’s and vans by a certain date."

Great idea. Let the Mormons and others who take that "be fruitful and multiply" stuff seriously, like Hasidic Jews, walk to Wal-Mart or wherever else those kind of people go. Lincoln Center is right down the block. Frankly, we don't see the need for cars at all.

Hi Chaptzem:

Thanks for posting to my article at NewsBusters. Just wanted to be sure that you and your readers understood that I was mocking the NY Times, not endorsing their views. I am very close to Eli Silberstein, our Chabad rabbi here in Ithaca, NY, and by coincidence will be speaking at a dinner there this coming Monday for student leaders.

Regards,

Mark 'Mordecai' Finkelstein

 

Dear “Mordecai”
I think most of us got the sarcasm; very soon they will have banned ALL cars. I love Chabad too!
