THE GOOD NEWS JUST NEVER ENDS

So, on January 23, the JFNA sent out an urgent announcement that Tribe Fest Is Coming Back.  (Like the world was waiting with baited breath.) And I want to thank all 57 of you who sent me the JFNA "tease" for your incredulity.

What was really meant follows:

Yes, our greatest waste of financial resources is returning. Why, you ask? Because otherwise we might actually do something constructive with your dollars -- something responsible, responsive to federations' needs. Why wouldn't we bring this piece of dreck back? After all, we proved that we could waste $2 million (+/-) so  far that might otherwise have been used to help the Jewish People, help our communities, our Owners --- so why not waste some more?

Sure, some of you true believers think that Festivus had some value -- of  course those would be the acolytes, the sycophants and those who just want to have a  swell time under the Big Top. As some wag once said when asked why year after year why he continued to clean up after the elephants at the circus -- "what, and get out of show business?"

I don't know whether to be more angry, more bewildered or simply howling with laughter. 

You?
