Miriam Bloghd (has she legaly changed her name yet?) supplies evidence that politicians can be every bit as goofy as entertainers.
Incidently, I wore a string back in the early nineties. It didn't help me make money. It didn't help me get girls. It didn't even make me a greater Torah scholar, or increase my yirahs or ahavas hashem. And when it broke and fell off, I didn't even notice.
What do you think I was doing wrong?
