This situation is now as old as anything

[sovay]

I am behind on posting about politics, NecronomiCon, and movies, I am exhausted and I have to catch a bus for a doctor's appointment right now, but Brandeis University has had to close its campus because of bomb threats and I am not happy. That is my non-sectarian, quota-busting, Jewish-sponsored alma mater, with a school calendar that shifts each year to the Jewish holidays and Hebrew on its university seal. In this political climate, I have a hard time thinking it's a coincidental crank call. Please explain to me again why it won't work if I inscribe אמת on the forehead of the nine-foot bronze statue of Justice Louis D. Brandeis and ask it to lay down some old-school crusading social justice on this country.

[edit] The campus has reopened, but I'm not sure I shouldn't still do it anyway.

Seems like a good time for a golem to me.

All the years I spent there, and never thought of a Justice Brandeis golem--and it's such a perfect match, since the Prague Golem was made for justice. . .

It makes you wonder about the university itself. Seriously, with אמת written everywhere, I don't see how you can not expect golems.

We saw Rabbi Loewe's tomb in Prague and heard the legend about the golem still being up in the rafters of the 'Old New' Synagogue.

You can't have too many golems!
