It is a great relief to me that the elections are over, and I can return to regaling Gnusies with straight Good News from our usual sources. I have put my coverage of political meshugas into a separate series, which I will not even name here today.
Let us begin with a bit of sanity. Yes, most polls are bogus by design. I have questions about the methodology of this poll, because I doubt that it reached the Yiddish-speaking ultra-Orthodox, but it does seem to cover the rest of American Jewry. I can’t dive into the details myself, but I hope it sparks a robust discussion.
As a former Jew turned Buddhist, I can align myself firmly with all of these measures.
