Ok, this is a Rant.

  I can’t not include this part- Ian Bremmer mentions Greenwich (pronounced Gren-itch) Connecticut. It’s exactly like that in Stars Hollow too.

Ma Nishtana

Well, because tonight is the night Yahweh struck down the First Born of Egypt, all of them, but spared the Houses of Hebrews marked with the Blood of the Korban Pesakh. Freedom from slavery? Plagues?
