Jerry and AMEX, Together Again
Jerry Seinfeld will join forces with Superman once again to the fight the evils of unsponsored celebrity and plain old cash in American Express’ latest online adventure, coming May 20.

The Cat In the Kepa
Entertain the preschooler (or just someone with preschooler reading skills) in your life with Dr. Suess’s classic translated into Yiddish by Zackary Sholem Berger.

We try it: Forget Borders and amazon, with their big corporate vibe! Buy it from an independent bookseller and keep it in the tribe!
(Many apologies, Dr. We hear you rolling in you grave…)

Andy Kaufman reportedly died twenty years ago, but no one would put it past him to have faked the whole thing.

We’ll be waiting with a plate of latkes.
