Profile: Paul Giamatti

http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=1403

So, yes, today our website turns six years old. And yes, we actually forgot our fifth birthday last year (never again!). And yes, Giamatti has been in our queue for at least five years. He's been our internal joke for the last four. I'll guess we'll give to find a new one...

Also suggested by Miriam from Burbank, Jairo from Brazil, Caleb from California, Conrad from Perth, and David from Chicago.

Profile: Hurricane Isaac

Apparently, not the first Hurricane Isaac... Why do they keep recycling names?

Mushnick was in hot water earlier this year...

Profile: Philippe Kahn

Kahn was suggested by that TV ad that shows a bunch of Internet/mobile pioneers. The ad is for... I don't remember. So much for it being an effective ad.

Profile: Queen Elizabeth II

http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=1400

Don't believe it? Here's Elizabeth II to Duchess Charlotte (#45). Here's Charlotte all the way up to Madragana. And here's Madragana, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, possible great-great-great-grandfather, Jew.

Thanks for Michael from Hartford for alerting us.

Profile: Tim and Nina Zagat

http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=1397

This profile "pretty much wrote itself"  though some people might argue "the K score is way too high" we're still "happy to have the Zagats on the team."

Profile: Keri Russell

Suggestions from Michael from Hartford, Freda from Canada, and Zev from California, who writes "she is hot". Okay then!

Profile: Iser Kuperman

What's this? A Saturday profile? Yes, to make up for the one we lost Monday.

Profile: Fred Neulander

http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=1394

This profile, and actually several others both upcoming and since past, came from this very interesting tome. I read the book because I'm a James fan and I find such things interesting, but it turned out to be a fantastic source for all things Jew-y.

Anyway, in case you're concerned, James actually believes Neulander is innocent. Or, at the very least, that the evidence against the Rabbi is both slim and circumstantial (both the motive and the one witness are flimsy as all get out)—and therefore hard to justify giving someone a life sentence over.

Profile: Harvey Milk

http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=1391

We're probably not doing Milk justice, but he's been in our queue for the longest time. Suggestions by Rob from Seattle, Mats from Norway, Bruce from Cambdirge, IL, Kevin from Michigan, Jenny from San Francisco, and Esther from Canada.

What happened to the Jared Gillman profile?

Yesterday, we published the Jared Gillman profile. The youngster starred in Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom"; we enjoyed the movie and his performance, and thought he would make a good profile.

Today, we received three emails:

From: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@dmandtalent.com
To: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@jewornotjew.com
Please remove Jared Gilman from your site immediately. He is a minor, and legal action will be taken if you do not comply.

From: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@dmandtalent.com
To: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@jewornotjew.com
Jared Gilman is a minor. Please remove his information from your site. If you do not remove it immediately, there will be legal action taken.

From: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@icmpartners.com
To: XXXXXXXXXXXXX@jewornotjew.com
Is there any way to remove this from your website? Jared's family does not appreciate having their son's religion exploited online. Please let me know if you would consider removing Jared. He is only a child and we are all worried about this type of material. Thank you.

Now, we're not ones to give in to Internet bullies, but since that last email did ask nicely, we removed the profile. It's not like his potential Jewishness is hard to verify...
