Bill Maher Gives Huge Shout-Out To Josh Shapiro

by Gerry January 30, 2023

On Friday night (January 27) Bill Maher gave a huge shoutout to Governor Josh Shapiro on his show, Real Time. 

Maher praised Shapiro for signing an executive order that eliminates the requirement of a college degree for tens of thousands of state positions. Maher’s guest, the somewhat, sometimes conservative Bari Weiss chimed in with an Amen in support Shapiro’s order. She called it “great politics.” “What Josh Shapiro just did,” she added, “is fabulous. It’s good for the economy, it’s good for Pennsylvania  – my home state … and frankly, it’s a thumb in the eye to the higher-ed cartel in this country. But it’s fabulous for a party that is now totally associated with the urban elite.”

Most non-Arabs who wear the keffiyeh do not intend it to be Anti-Semitic in any way. They wear it as an expression of sympathy for Palestinian civilians, support for human rights, concern about war, or identification with a broader cause of national identity and self-determination. In their minds, it is directed toward Palestinians, not against […]

What Does My Fountain Pen Have In Common With The Former Lord & Taylor In Bala Cynwyd?

Both come out of the work of Raymond Loewy and his design firm. Raymond Loewy (1893–1986) helped define what modern America looked like in the mid-20th century. Through his design firm, he worked across an unusually wide range of industries—transportation, consumer products, branding, and architecture—often simultaneously. No one in history is more closely associated with […]

January 16-18: The Philly Pen Show — A Delightfully Analog Experience

f you’re looking for a break from screens, alerts, and endless scrolling, the Philly Pen Show might be the cure—at least temporarily. It’s an unapologetically analog event: pens, paper, ink, and the people who still care deeply about them. Whether you’re a serious collector, someone who misses the feel of writing by hand, or just […]
