He's best-known for his probing stories about the porn industry (nsfw), and most recently admired for being the first reporter to state that Mayor Tony's marriage was dunzo.

Now we're very confused. On Tuesday we reported that the Jewish Journal had written that the former Seinfeld star Michael Richards was not a member of the tribe.

All of this stems from a new allegation that Richards once went on an anti-Semetic tirade on some audience members at The Improv in April. "He is...

The headline on the Jewish Observer-LA website — Sharon Suffers (Mild) Stroke — is both sad and embarassing. True, he did suffer a mild stroke in December 18. But today the 77-year-old leader of the state of Israel had "a significant stroke" followed by "massive bleeding." Doctors say he may not survive. Vice Premier Ehud Olmert has taken on his duties.
