Mike's Morsels of Wisdom

Hasidic Reggae

I was recently tipped off to the existence of Matisyahu, a hasidic rabbi turned reggae rapper. At first listen, I thought for sure that it was a joke. But, as his website portrays, this man of the jewish cloth is the real deali-o. Check it out yo.

Talk about being "gun shy."

Michael Levine reports on FoxNews.com:

"Marshall Junior High in Clovis, New Mexico, was locked down after someone saw a boy carrying what police thought could be a weapon. Armed officers were placed on nearby rooftops, local streets were closed off, and dozens of anxious parents fled to the school to pull their children out of harm's way. But it turned out the threatening item was a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapenos, all wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-Shirt. The oversized burrito was for an assignment on product promotion."

I find it especially disturbing that this kid felt the need to wrap his massive burrito in a T-Shirt...what was that for?
