Dear Backward,
I always love to turn to your Arts & Culture pages. In a world where everything is so uncertain and life can sometimes seem so cheap, it makes me proud to be a Jew.

Dear Backward,
After my Bar Mitzvah in October I had a lot more free time and, on the MacBook Pro that Uncle Hal bought me, I started reading the internet. Last week I finished it. Could you recommend some other places that I might find interesting? Thanks.

Dear Backward,
Now that the sentencing is over, and everything’s finished — baruch hashem — I gotta say, guys you did a heckuva job. I mean fair’s fair, we had a great racket going and you totally nailed us. We should definitely sit down some day over a bottle of schnapps and reminisce about the good old days in Postville. And by the way, what a fantastic job Phil O’Lologous does. That guy deserves a medal!

Jerry Falwell, or was it Pat Robertson, I get the two of them confused, they might actually be the same person, like Bruce Wayne and Superman, you never see them together at the same time, made headlines several years ago by stating that the anti-Christ is alive in the United States of America today. Falwell/Robertson stated that the anti-Christ is a Jewish male alive in the United States today. Sorry for repeating myself, but that's what Falwell/Robertson said. Having said that, one has to realize that, logically, its highly likely that the anti-Christ is a reader of the Forward, although probably the English edition. Just keep that in mind, or I will use my hellish powers to turn the entire staff of the Forward into a bowl of shimmering raspberry Jello. The anti-Christ can do that. I know because I watched the movie, "Devil's Advocate" five times, particularly the ending where the blond lady takes off all of her clothes and tries to seduce Keaunu Reeves. You have been warned! Best wishes for a freylichen Purim and a zissen Pesach! Sincerely yours, I remain, The anti-Christ, alive in the United States of America today (sorry again for repeating myself).
