400-408 – Rabbi Joe Telushkin (josephtelushkin.com) was a childhood friend of Dennis Prager, they went to Columbia together, and Dennis said he's knowledgeable, wonderful, and hilarious. Rabbi Joe is the author of many books on Jewish theology, philosophy, and history, and has written several novels, popular articles, and television and film scripts. But his Jewish Literacy: The Most Important Things to Know About the Jewish Religion, Its People and Its History has been the most widely read book on Judaism of the past two decades, and his monumental two-volume A Code of Jewish Ethics has rapidly risen to the pinnacle of its field. Rabbi Joe is the spiritual leader of the Synagogue for the Performing Arts in Los Angeles, but he lives in New York City with his wife, writer Deborah Telushkin, and their four children. Plus, there's a bunch of YouTubes of Rabbi Joe teaching on a variety of subjects available online.
Today we talk about "loving your enemies," and Jewish Humor – sourcing his Biblical Literacy: The Most Important People, Events, and Ideas of the Hebrew Bible, and his book on humor, Jewish Humor: What the Best Jewish Jokes Say About the Jews.

628-639 – • Your Houston News (5/8/2011) Man airlifted after fight with cat. You know your cat has snapped when you have to defend yourself with a knife! Ever been attacked by a pet? Ever have to use a weapon against your pet?
A Cleveland man was attacked by a housecat Friday afternoon and the man's injuries are so severe that he had to be taken by air ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. The altercation between the man and the animal occurred at a home on CR 3182 a few miles south of Cleveland in Liberty County. At some point during the attack, the man and the cat reportedly were injured by a knife the man was holding. The man was taken to Cleveland Regional Medical Center before being transported to Houston. Game wardens Danny Diaz and Adam Broll captured the cat. It was taken to Big Thicket Animal Hospital for examination. The man's identity is unknown at this time.
Game Warden Danny Diaz expected to find an animal a little more fierce than the tabby cat he encountered when he was called to a home on CR 3182 in Cleveland on Friday. The cat, like the one pictured, was mortally wounded by a man who attacked the cat with a knife after the cat reportedly attacked the man. During the struggle with the cat, the man sustained cuts and injuries so serious that he had to be taken by air ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. The cat was later euthanized by a Cleveland veterinarian.

// It's only a matter of time now. Marriage will fade away. We should be thinking about what might replace it. We should come up with something that improves the quality of our lives and those of our children. And we should keep government out of it, if we know what's good for us.
