David Brooks meets the Jews. You know, Brooks is supposed to be a Jew. But he seems surprised by the effectiveness of what is the fairly standard community building and training techniques of schul.

Wait, what? Apparently, the Council of Conservative Citizens is very upset that Marvel has cast a black guy in the role of Heimdall, Guardian of the Bifrost Bridge. (Guiding principle #2 of the CofCC reads, "We believe the United States is a European country and that Americans are part of the European people.")

There were black people in Europe in the days of the vikings. They were called Moors.

Besides, aren't the conservative twits of America the same folks who scream about every religion but christianity being displayed anyplace? A movie about the Norse gods, and all they can bitch about is a black actor? wow. :)
