The Mexican Billionaire who bought a huge chunk of The New York Times is now gobbling up Manhattan real estate—including the gorgeous $40m townhouse across from the Met—the only townhouse left on Fifth Avenue.
I didn’t mind so much seeing The Times’ building decked out in Purple Day of the Dead statues—that’s in midtown. But now we’re talking the UES. A little more taste and a little less kitsch, please.

Why are these 2 weeks different from all others?http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/07/21/california-doc/
Oh, what a terrible dinner party host the California DOC is.
They’ve put Lindsay Lohan in the same jail as the “bling ring” that once terrorized her.
That’s like inviting Shylock over to dinner and seating him next to Lorenzo.

I don’t see how building a luxury mall in Gaza can come to good.
Sure, our cousins can now go to the Genius Bar when their iPhones act up, but think about how they haggle over land when there’s nothing on it. When they have to divvy up Armani and Neiman Marcus, there’s gonna be some real tsuris.

My Uncle Herschel didn’t change his shingle to read “Shyster.”

Barbara Walters is now Skyping on the view. If Baba Wawa has her usual effect, it’s only a matter of time before my mother’s judgey, judgey face is broadcasting out on the internet.

Ah yes, that's why we fly over those states. http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/07/08/iowa-police/
The Iowa po-po arrested a man for DUI… for going 5MPH on his lawn mower?! Remind me never to spend Passover in Iowa. I’m likely to go to jail for too much Manischewitz while searching for the afikomen!

A Jew, a Protestant, and a black Republican walk into a bar...http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/07/06/michael-steele/
Has anyone else noticed that the gaffe-prone leader is the Tim Whatley of the GOP? I think he joined the Republicans just “for the jokes.”
Actually, this may go back farther—I’m pretty sure he went black “for the jokes.”

Bloggers in summer
Posted by The Annoyed Jew
Whatever works? Not us. http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/07/01/summer-bloggers/
Is there anything lazier than a blogger in summer? In the winter it’s one post after another, but then a blast of bbq heat and suddenly even the most annoyed Jews start skipping days of the week as if it were the high holy season.
Don’t worry, kvetchaholics, we’ll be back to regular programming starting July 5th.
