2. Jewcy.com is now a part of Jdub, the people who brought you Matisyahu.

3. The Health Bill made it out of committee. Everywhere I go people are talking about the importance of fixing healthcare. Well, the people who are talking are talking about fixing it, the people who are yelling. . . I have no idea what they are saying.
