Readers,
This week's editorial content is provided by family members, friends, and houseguests, including pets.
Views on the week:
15 year-old male: White Supremacists are lame.
Unknown age, Rescue Pup: I know the golden retriever he shaved to get that hair!
17 year-old female: I forgot why I thought of 'undercuts' as a Nazi haircut until this week.
25 year-old male: what really struck me on a personal level is that I've never felt my Jewishness more. In my day to day life I feel like the "least Jew-y" Jew there is but realizing that there are folks out there (in our country no less!) who not only don't consider me white but truly hate me because of my breeding was a gut-punch. Made it very real.
20 year-old female: The mother [of Helen Heyer] saying that she would not want to speak to Trump.
20 year-old female: It feels like it's been, in my lifetime, the longest time that politics has been this public, complete domination of the culture. Even if you're less educated or don't follow/care what's going on, you know it's dominating every communication channel. And, the backlash against Tina Fey's Weekend Update thing is absurd. Why do people hate women?
54 year-old male: Why did it take actual Nazis for everyone to understand that Donald Trump is an asshole?
55 year old male: This just in: Steve Bannon to appear on Dancing With The Stars next season!
58 year-old female: I wish that citing Woody Allen wasn't so fraught. He used to seem so purely funny and smart, especially when it came to Nazis.
89+3/4 year-old female: I was reminded of a Nathan Englander short story where a husband and wife, no longer young, sit at a kitchen table calmly discussing who of their Christian friends would take them in if Jews were once again victimized.
54 year-old female, media veteran, newsletter curator, feminist, Jew: Why did I blow a 4-0 lead to lose my singles tennis final in an 8-6 tiebreaker?
In other news -- enjoy the eclipse! FWIW I just don't believe you need those special glasses. I distinctly remember, at 7 years old, my brother's bar mitzvah on March 7th, 1970, the day of the last total solar eclipse. Everyone went outside from the reception at the social hall of Temple Beth-El, in Great Neck, New York, to view it. There was much discussion that "we would all go blind." As far as I know, however, noone did.
Yes, I am wearing the rockin'-est '60's crocheted mini-dress that I would kill for today, and somehow before blow-out bars all the girls' hair looked great.
Onwards -- here is a variety of news about and by women in business, media, digital, politics, and pop culture to reflect on, as well.
Feel free to send me your thoughts about the week, and/or comments, questions, or stuff you think should go in next week's edition here. I have a bajillion pieces that I just don't have room for in the weekly edition, so you can follow me on Twitter to get a daily fix.
I am on Insta @LZSundayPaper. Classic ladies, iconic and inspirational, can be found there.

See you next week!

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.
