You and I know it's all a bunch of BS! So 7% of Congress is Jewish. Would Christians work on Christmas Day, if they had to? I'm Catholic and I would in a budget crisis. Israel runs the US. Please! My opinion! I went through this schitt every year around the Christian Holidays. The Arabs wanted something, the Jews wanted something and the Christians? Well, instead of penis envy, we had "religious envy"! Speaking of my Bell Labs day, when I was a Facilities Manager, in charge of purchasing decorations, etc.
