Jungkafka missed that thepowerbroker was mocking him for being a misogynist/ageist. They did that to highlight how idiotic it is to choose the Nazi over a woman who is simply older.

For anyone who misses the sarcasm from thepowerbroker though:
The fact that the phrase "starving kids" even exists in our country, whose politicians - of both parties - have been funding another country for decades, is a disgrace.

In the 1950s, #RobertMoses needed to connect two of his highways so he cooked up a plan for what would become the #CrossBronxExpressway. The only thing in his way were thousands of #Bronx residents, whom he basically had evicted.

"We send billions of taxpayers' $ to Israel so that Israelis have free healthcare and free education, but our elected officials claim that it is too expensive for us to have it.
