Don't we go through this every year around this time? I remember someone going nuts about the Yiddish dictionary link in the right nav.
"White" may not sound Jewish -- that's because it's not his real name. But, indeed, Mike White is a Jew, though he decried the "in crowd" at ePrize. He didn't go temple, didn't have a Bar Mitzvah, etc. But I know he dappled his speech with Yiddish and knew more about Jewish holidays and traditions than some of the "practicing" coworkers he had.
There's irony to this posting, not hatred.
Would "Angry at Biggots" (who doesn't know how to spell "bigot") be as angry if there was a "Happy Easter" message? Either seems innocuous enough.
