I was going to post an item regarding the U.S. Attorney General, but I'll have to wait till she changes her last name.

This evening I came across an article at the Atlantic titled How American Jews Ruined Hanukkah. The title has now been changed to Hanukkah, Why?

I find it offensive to call a Jewish holday I celebrate silly. But I guess sensitivity training nowadays doesn't extend to not making offensive comments about things Jewish.
