I dunno. For a column that tries so darn hard to to get a rise out of its readers -- well, the Jewy ones, yuck! -- there's not much meat on them thar bones. The meander into even-handed apartheid labels is fun, for sure. But once the piece really gets lumbering along, it's myseriously, well, random. News flash: Roger Cohen != "older Jews". Really. He's just this guy. Anecdotally nifty. Statistically not so relevant.

I get it, I do: Mr. Hamburger wants to establish his hipness, distance himself from those yucky types, but not quite outright reject, well, his "religion" You use what you have, right? So, sure, invent a generational thing. You are a young man, Robert! The thing is that it doesn't quite work. Precious. But dumb.
