And the underdog wins (photo included)


When you ask people which side they believe will triumph, there’s no equivocating. But last weekend, in a debate unlike any you’ve ever witnessed, when the final tally was announced?

Well – take a look at this picture and tell me, is there any doubt as to who would win?

Queen, I mean TEAM Hamantash, but of course!

38 to 22 over the latke. Not even close.

We fought hard and the other team had props and unpaid volunteers badgering the audience – maybe even bribing them. And despite the fact that my team had to engage in negative campaigning (can you imagine how hard that was for me?), it was worth it, to redeem the reputation of the Hamantash.

Whether our win will go down in history next to the arguments of Alan Dershowitz and Milton Friedman, I can’t say. But at least for another year, the Hamantash is safe from ridicule and cyberbullying.

    That’s so clever! I wish I had thought of that because then I wouldn’t have had to deface my daughter’s Disney princess thing. I just covered up the picture of the princesses with a hamantash.

    Thanks for reading and commenting.

    Ah, well. I guess its back to Corky and Lennys for some beef and latkes to drown my sorrows. Great hat. And what’s wrong with Palmreader’s Digest? If there was such a thing I would sell it in my store.

    Ok ok – Palmreaders Digest – on my next year’s wishlist for Chanuka. I did get my palm read two years ago on my birthday. I forget what they told me. Probably that I’d lose my memory. :)

    [...] the whole…well…Megillah as they say. (For anyone who remembers that I participated in a Latke v. Hamantashen debate at Chanuka time last December, I represented the Hamantash and won – it’s a triagular [...]
