Dear Subscribers,
Bernie? I guess it's Bernie. I mean, let's see what happens next Tuesday but…Bernie? Really? After all this?
I don't know that I have much else to say.
But one thing I will now say is that it's really hard to believe that both the top as well as one other major presidential contender are…Jewish! Is it taboo to talk about that? I don't think we hear about it as much as as we do, ceaselessly, about whether a woman can win, or the sad fact that there are no remaining candidates of color.
If elected, will Bernie light a big menorah on the White House lawn in December? Will he shout "Oy vey, you could start World War 3!"? at the Peace Talks? Should Chuck Todd have asked to trade bar mitzvah photos with Mayor Mike's instead of asking him "should you exist?"
Here's your weekly dose of other reporters' excellent work, covering the most important, thought-provoking news about women in politics (albeit they're dropping like flies), business, media, crime, health, sports, the arts, and pop culture. Hand-picked by me, for you, each week.
Send me comments, along with articles, photos, or videos you think I need to see here. If you are not already, click here to become a subscriber.

We think that culture comes high and low, not much in between. Our audience is vast and not gender-driven. Every week we expect to deliver at least one good laugh.
