This past weekend, a throng—nay, a large crowd of Harvard students publicly taunted, shamed, and stalked the venerable liberal intellectual Martin Peretz. Like the jihadists who distribute videos of their beheadings, the protesters also released their mini “Aktion� on YouTube. They call it: “Party for Marty.� These students decided to rain on “Marty’s� parade, ruin [...]

(It never seems to be long enough, does it?) Sadly, as our readers are well aware, the days where students only had to worry about reading [...]
Facebook has recently become the “king� of social networking sites after its expansion in the last few years has brought millions of new people with all various opinions. Facebook even has a new group called “Jewish pickup lines� which has been quite popular in attracting fellow Jews with jokes about our culture and religion. Some [...]
