This one goes out to my landsmen in Newport Beach, which may well be the very capital of Jewish Republicanism — its Mecca, so to speak.
You are being tweaked. And it’s really, really funny.
The website Yiddish Curses for Republican Jews has elbowed its way onto the scene and it’s making a splash like you wouldn’t believe. It’s a curse generator — one to which you can contribute, if you think you’re enough of a wit — that deploys the deadly Yiddish wit that forms the substrate for 48.3% of all American comedy at the machers who just don’t get it. Let me spin the wheel a few times so you can enjoy!
“May your grandchildren baptize you after you’re dead.”
Oy!
“May you have a rare disease and need an operation that only one surgeon in the world, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine, is able to perform. And may he be unable to perform it because he doesn’t take your insurance. And may that Nobel Laureate be your son.”
Oy-oy-OY!
“May your son the doctor introduce you to his fiancée, Bristol Palin.”
GEVALT!
“May you spend your whole life supporting and voting for and sending money to Israel, and may you one day be actually forced to move there.”
That’s not funny. OK, yes it is. We’re just not supposed to make those sorts of jokes in front of the goyim.
Growing up a Jew in Orange County taught me one thing for sure: most people who read this aren’t going to appreciate it. Therefore, this is your weekend Open Thread. (P.S.: people on suspension, of which there is only one and he shall here be unnamed, don’t even bother trying to comment on this one.)
One more thing: if anyone wants to come up with an Orange County Curse Generator, that could be a mitzvah!
LOL!!!
And — they have a Facebook page!
“May you have a rare disease and need an operation that only one surgeon in the world, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine, is able to perform. And may he be unable to perform it because he doesn’t take your insurance. And may that Nobel Laureate be your son.” MY FAVORITE!!!!
I’m partial to this beautiful example of a Yiddish “I wish you wonderful things that turn out to be terrible” curse:
Here’s a double-gevalt!
Current new favorite (one might have to be Jewish to appreciate this one fully):
“May you be reunited in the world to come with your ancestors, who were all socialist garment workers.”
I understand this like you understand astrology.
But I’ve given you two nice illustrations! Oh well, I’ll keep trine.
Let me take a shot at this….
May you have a Venus/ Jupiter conjunction in your second house. And may that house be in foreclosure.
It’s a start — but it could be more Jewish! Let me prescribe watching a daily half-hour of videos from Shelley Berman and Shecky Green.
…..and may that house be in the Fairfax District.
NAHHWW YER TAWKIN’!!!!
“.. people on suspension, of which there is only one and he shall here be unnamed (Fiala), don’t even bother trying to comment on this one.)”
Fiala – Fiala – Fiala
I think it’s best that he keep his distance for his own protection.
Now if you were Jewish, I might curse you with “May you someday be in need of every single social program you would like to eliminate.” But you ain’t!
I have grandchildren who are 1/4th Jewish, whom I love very much. Does that count?
Not really — but if you really want to be cursed, I’ll see what I can do! (And mazel tov on the grandkids.)
*So, Jim Righeimer…..drunk or sober….wide eyed or busytailed……funny. Mr. Mayor pro tem………can’t wait to see next weeks Council Meeting.
Speaking of Riggy – this blog is a no-show & awol & suspiciously silent on the CMPD (et al) union thugery concerning a false report of DUI on the councilman.

Is that what you would call “spiking” a legitimate news story? I think so.
sounds of crickets chirping ……………

oh wow! ……… Vern Made a COMMENT! Like being buried in the second section page 13 of The Old Gray Lady. The story deserves an article Vern – not a frickin’ COMMENT! 30 Riggy related articles in your blog category – but not this one ……..
Send us one! Be the change you want to see in the OJB!
Are you offering to pay for our sending a reporter? That’s really nice of you, if so! (Seriously, for most Costa Mesa stories, one should just go read The Pot Stirrer. Most of the time, we can serve our readers by just calling attention to what is written about the City in the Bubbling Cauldron. I haven’t really been following the story. “Riggy is loudly complaining” is “dog bites man.”)
By the way, I’ve noticed that we also provide pretty paltry coverage of Rancho Santa Margarita and Lake Forest. Perhaps you could criticize us for not deploying our volunteer efforts there as well! Crickets!
Greg – Nope, I don’t buy what you are peddeling. You have an archive caregory of Jim Righeimer – I stopped counting at 30 articles in that category.
I hereby formally accuse the OJ Blog of spiking the union thuggery story of a false DUI report against Riggy for the purpose of downplaying a story that would put the CMPD and other CM employee unions in a bad light.
Expect service of official docs this afternoon.
Karmas a bitch ain’t it Jim?
*Costa Mesa is becoming a can of worms……
