This nonsense could only come from a Jew ... pretending to be an anti-Semite.

Coming soon, before the big sale, Shalom "Just For Men" Rubash-n, gives us an insider's look on how the Weinberg Pen works and his secret stockpile of beis yosef hechshers.

Tonight must be the big Mountain Dew extravaganza in Postville.

Posted by: WoolSilkCotton | January 29, 2009 at 07:41 PM

WoolSilkCotton: Every Friday night as I'm putting the finishing touches on Shabbat dinner, I make myself a martini just before I have to call my mother. It helps when dealing with my mother. Usually, I'm a traditional gal (Bombay Sapphire straight up, a little dirty with three olives), but occasionally I experiment...at times I make a pineapple martini, or a Thai hot chile martini or a raspberry martini etc. Tomorrow in order to celebrate Sholom's release, I will try to make a Mountain Dew martini. I'll let you know how it came out. Wish me luck.

Posted by: Libby in the Hood | January 29, 2009 at 08:07 PM

Good Luck, Libby. I suspect a Rubashkin martini leaves a person with a sour taste, and feeling cheated and angry. Have a backup drink immediately ready!

If this occurs, great care must be taken that it is not on premises outside of Allamakee County Limits. Otherwise, if SMR is in attendance and the Law finds out, his ass will be back in jail, this time, permanently until trial.

Posted by: John Diamond | January 29, 2009 at 08:52 PM

Right up there with Yud-Tes Kislev, huh? Let's see, I-35 to Duluth, slip across the border, then the El Al midnite non-stop out of Toronto to Ben Gurion, and I'm home free.

Posted by: Office of the Chief Rabbi | January 29, 2009 at 10:00 PM

Rabbi, I would not put it past the Iowa prosecutors to have told Canadian Immigration that SMR is out on bail awaiting trial and that they will get a case of Mountain Dew if they detain him.

Posted by: FirstGenerationBavarianAmerican | January 30, 2009 at 12:50 AM

Why think only of the Canadian border? Remember all those guys who came across the Mexican border with the help of a cayote? If you can come north, someone can go south and then on to Brazil (no extradition), or Argentina or Uruguay. Lots of possibilities.

You people can party why and what for. What about all the people that he has hurt and ripped apart families for his own well being. He is not a human being he is a criminal and should be behind bars. He treated people with no respect and caused pain and suffering to all that was involved.He is a theif he robbed prople of their money and their happiness why should he be free and happy. All he'll do is run before his trial becuase he knows what he did is criminal. GOD will get him!

Posted by: digusted | January 31, 2009 at 12:19 PM

I-35 to Texas
Walk across the border to Mexico
Be sure to have some whiskey or whatever-just the thing for the police to confiscate for 'customs'
Mexico City to Havana
Havana to Moscow
Moscow to Tel-Aviv
