To Jews everywhere, I hope you had a safe and easy fast. Another Yom Kippur has come and gone. May you all be inscribed in the book of life. While the world is now at war, perhaps one day there will be a true, real, lasting peace. Amen.

This is the story of Alessandra.
Last night with Alessandra was about thirty minutes that will most likely never be repeated. Even being next to her in real life is most likely not going to happen. Yet life is about experiences, memories, and the people who create both of them for us. Even in the worst place on Earth, there can be some good.

EXPENDABLES 2 ALPHA MALE FRIDAY
Today is Testosterone Alpha Male Friday.
Take the bad guys, blow (redacted) up, and shove the American flag up their hide until they go to the toilet red, white, and blue. Then pull their trousers down, and either hang the flag from their blankety-blanks or take a cattle prod and brand a tattoo of Uncle Sam on their hides.
To paraphrase a famous NFL quarterback after a Super Bowl loss, we need to take the bad guys and hand them their hides on a platter and make sure the tray is bent.
It’s time for Expendables 2!

LAFF-A-LYMPICS 2012–The Yogies, Scoobies, and Rottens
London 2012–From Laff-A-Lympics to Dangermouse
While many adults find the Olympics boring because they are, children ignore the Olympics because they are not in cartoon form.
Bring back the “Laff-A-Lympics.”

George Jefferson up in the sky with Weezie
Sherman Hemsley has permanently left the building. George Jefferson is now reunited with his beloved Weezie, having moved on up to that deluxe apartment in the sky.
Mr. Hemsley also did a very controversial skit with Howard Stern that contained several uses of the n-word. Yet even that skit was funny because of what it was lampooning. A few weeks earlier Ted Danson and Whoopie Goldberg came out on stage in blackface and did a skit involving the n-word that was widely panned.
Because they were both politically liberal, they were given a pass. Hemsley and Stern disagreed. Hemsley came out dressed as Whoopie while Stern played Danson. Stern would say something to the effect of “Whoopie, you an ugly (n-word).” Hemsley as Whoopie responded, “Yeah Ted, well you a smelly (n-word).” Hemsley and Stern obliterated the notion that coming out in blackface was acceptable as long as one voted Democrat. Hemsley did not publicly discuss his politics, but he thrived on being politically incorrect.

Bill Cosby: America’s Father
On this Father’s Day, one of my favorite memories is me, my father, and my grandfather watching “Bill Cosby: Himself.” The Coz truly is America’s Father.

After eight years, the ladies of Wisteria Lane said goodbye with a bang.

To the Jews, Happy Passover.
To the Christians, Happy Easter.
To atheists such as my friend Kevin, happy baseball season.
I will never understand why Kevin worships baseball, but I respect his right to do so.
To everyone else, to quote comedian Anthony Clark, “I hope you win the lottery dude.”
To those who recently did, congratulations.
This weekend is as good a time as any for quiet reflections.
Hug your loved ones. Enjoy meals with your families.
This concludes Religion Solace Saturday.

Valentine’s Day is like a cross between Hollywood celebrities at the Grammys and the Mullahs in Iran.
