Dennis Miller has his debut as a talk radio host tonight. Click here to find your local radio outlet. Tonight's guest list inlcudes Rudy Giuliani.

I head Dennis being interviewed on local talk radio here in Dallas this morning. When asked about his turn towards conservatism after 9/11, he clarified that "if Hillary Clinton were to become president, I'm backing her because she's my president." That to him, is what being a good American is. I agree.

Jewish Theological Seminary to Accept Qualified Gay and Lesbian Rabbinical And Cantorial School Students

"Moreover, the decision to ordain gay and lesbian clergy at JTS is in keeping with the longstanding commitment of the Jewish tradition to pluralism. That commitment has been all the more central to Conservative Judaism. Pluralism means that we recognize more than one way to be a good Conservative Jew, more than one way of walking authentically in the path of our tradition and of carrying that tradition forward. It means, too, that we respect those who disagree with us and understand that in the context of all that unites us, diversity makes us stronger."

I've heard of the Mitvah Tank, but the "Matzoh Bus" is new to me.

(CBS/AP) SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. A full-size school bus that had been converted into an oven, complete with smokestack, exhaust fans and working fire, was discovered by police after a neighbor said he smelled smoke.

The red and white bus, in the backyard of a residence owned by the rabbi of a Hasidic Jewish congregation, was turning out thin crisp matzo crackers for next week's Passover holiday, said Sgt. Lou Scorziello of the Spring Valley police.

Jeez, it's been a long time since I've been around these parts. I've been spending a lot of time networking, seeing recruiters and going on interviews to try and find a new job. After giving things a lot of thought, I've decided to say "screw it" and go into business for myself. I have a CPA license which I'm going to transfer from NY to Texas and hope to formally start my own practice in June. While I plan on doing the usual tax returns, payroll, etc. I am hoping to build a nice base of small corporate clients for whom I can do a little audit work / operations consulting.

Now that I've decided what I want to be when I grow up (isn't 40 the new 20 - or something like that?), maybe I can spend some more time here.

An Arizona principal tells an army wife that her 8 and 11 year old kids can't take an extra week off to be with their dad who is coming home from Iraq on a two week leave. Principal says he was in the army too and "supports the troops", but "rules are rules".

Can someone tell me where I can find a clip of the original "Jane, you ignorant slut" segment of the old SNL with Dan Akroyd and Jane Curtain. I remember seeing it again awhile ago and even though I knew what was coming, it was still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

SEATTLE - The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle returned to its old building in downtown Seattle on Sunday months after a fatal shooting spree forced the group to move out last summer. On July 28, 2006, accused gunman Naveed Haq walked into the building and opened fire, killing one woman, Pam Waechter, and seriously injuring five others, including a pregnant woman.

Iran captures British soldiers. Accuses them of spying. Britain denies it and demands their return. According to the Geneva Conventions, soldiers in uniform can't be considered spies. Dozens of civil rights lawyers fly to the Middle East to defend the soldiers. (You didn't really believe the last one, did you?)

Saw Rocky Balboa. Liked it more than I thought I would. I think my decision to open my own business and the "go for your dream" philosophy of the movie, campy as it is, made me feel a lot better about my decision. Isn't that what movies are supposed to do in the first place?

Saw Quinceanera. Started off a little depressing, but turned out to be a pretty good movie. After seeing that and Babel (which I liked only because I was fascinated with the different cultures that were represented), I'm a little overloaded on Mexican-American culture and hispanic hip-hop, mijo.

Casino Royale was just plain old fun. The Illusionist didn't do it for me, but I know it did for a lot of other's including the wife and the guy at Blockbuster who rented it to me. I believe both were filmed, at least in part, in Prague which looks like a beautiful place to go.
