| An entertaining essay in The Forward by David Kaufmann wonders whether Bugs is Jewish. He doesn't advance the theory I've always had but that I've never seen any proof for: That the character was based at least in part on Milton Berle (real name: Milton Berlinger).

| I just got an advertisement emailed to me promoting the Web site: www.christiancarloans.com. The ad stated that the business was based on Christian lending principals. To which I wondered: Ok, does the New Testament have anything to say on interest rates? But, seriously folks, these guys might be on to something. How about a Christian estate |
