Yiddish Curses for Republican Jews

• May you live to a hundred and twenty without Social Security or Medicare.
• May you make a fortune, and lose it all in one of Sheldon Adelson’s casinos.

• May your son be elected President, and may you have no idea what you did with his goddamn birth certificate.
• May your grandchildren baptize you after you’re dead.
• May your insurance company decide constipation is a pre-existing condition.
• May you find yourself insisting to a roomful of skeptics that your great-grandmother was “legitimately” raped by Cossacks.
• 
• May you feast every day on chopped liver with onions, chicken soup with dumplings, baked
