“Rabbi Altmann and his secretary were sitting in a coffeehouse in Berlin in 1935. “Herr Altmann”, said his secretary. “I notice you’re reading Der Strmer! I can’t understand why. A Nazi libel sheet! Are you some kind of masochist, or, God forbid, a self-hating Jew?” “On the contrary, Frau Epstein. When I used to read the Jewish papers, all I learned about were pogroms, riots in Palestine, and assimilation in America. But now that I read Der Strmer, I see so much more: that the Jews control all the banks, that we dominate in the arts, and that we’re on the verge of taking over the entire world. You know—it makes me feel a whole lot better!”″
A while ago the American Family Association was encouraging people to go to their website and write e-mails shaming some corporation that had been too kind to gay people. I went to their website and tweaked the canned message slightly to praise the company instead, thinking it would be a nice break from all the hate mail. I had to give my e-mail address in the process, and now I get the AFA newsletter (though usually directly in my junk mail folder).
And it’s a wonderful read—always telling me how powerful the secularists are and how the gay agenda’s taking over the country, and how God’s going to be eliminated from schools. I can always rely on the AFA to cheer me up in the morning.
There’s a Soviet joke just like that about a Soviet Jew finally succeeding in moving to Israel, then ordering Pravda from abroad for the next 10 years and giving the same response when asked about his motive for reading it: the Israeli press all says how miserable and doomed the country is, the Pravda claims that it’s a superpower with an invincible army on the verge of taking over the world. (Pravda having been covertly anti-semitic in general but openly and ravingly Anti-Zionist.)

I resemble that remark...
