Update: Weiner runs for NYC Mayor

Former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner just can't be kept down, apparently. With the New York City Mayoral election this fall, the former Congressman has announced his intention to rise to the occasion and penetrate the Democratic primaries.

Despite his history, Anthony has many supporters in New York — especially amongst women who admit they're quite curious to see what he can do — although some men appear interested as well.

Of course, not everyone is so excited about the possibility of Anthony whipping out another campaign.  The former representative's last appearance was generally considered less than impressive—with a hard beginning that came to a disappointing, unsatisfying end.

That said, Weiner brings quite the sack of campaign funding with him, including at least two major nest eggs, so we will have to see once everything firms up. In the meantime however, the polls show a significant advantage for the other candidates including Representatives Johnson, Bone, and Vagina.

Jews in the News: Cochran wins Survivor

We're a little late on this one, but we really had no idea until reading Nate Bloom's always-informative column. Turns out last season's Survivor winner, the uber-nerdy John Cochran, is (half) Jewish. Hooray!

A Jewish sitcom?

We previously lamented the lack of Jewish sitcoms on American television... Could we have one next year?

These are the Goldbergs: Murray, Beverly, Barry, Erica, Adam, and Pops. Yep... these are Jews, and they will be on ABC next fall. Watch out, goyishe neighbors!

We give this show 6 months tops.
