Actually I think you may be a bit envious of me, but I really don't care about that. It won't be the last time it happens, and you certainly are not the first.

AJ, only you seem to be annoyed by any reference to Jews. Paul's remarks were not at all offensive, nor were they meant to be. Same goes for any references I have ever made about Jews. Facts are not necessarily offensive unless you are caught doing something that you thought no one knew about. Using the word Jew in a sentence is done only for clarity of thought and certainly not to offend some very good people who have done wonders for our world. How could I, a musician, hate people such as George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and the countless other Jews who prolifically produced some of the finest work of modern time. What about Leonard Bernstein, Barbra Steisand, Barry Manilow, Victor Borge, and the rest of them? I happen to love all of them. Come to think of it, I even love that flamboyant Englishman, Sir Elton John. See, I even have tolerance for crazy Englishmen in spite of what they tried to do to America!

AJ, you are completely whacko with your suggestions.
