And Dan did 24 Alaska's in one day

[Zalc]

Pretty lousy actually return for 24 cards.
Average bonus of $225- I'm sure many people here can match that total with just 4-5 cards.

I'm assuming he already got all those bonuses recently.

It's not a big deal, interesting nonetheless.

2 pictures in the articles, both of chasidim at the kotel on tisha b'av for some strange reason. At least make one of them another religion's 'extremists'.

What's interesting is that we have a 'pshat' to the reverse question (why are so many smart people such staunch atheists) - see the meforshim on shochad in last week's parsha.

It's not the point he's making that's offensive. It's the presentation.
