I like Mediapost.com, which, through a combination of reporting and opinion, tries to stay on top of, well, media and advertising. Fern Siegel is one of the writes on the Magazine Rack column, writing this in her review of American Cowboy:
Editor Jesse Mullins, Jr. says the cowboy world “values authority and the carrying on of tradition and revering the ways of our elders and forebears.” He could almost be Jewish — except for the authority part. Many of us revel in recreational arguing, which is a big distraction during a stampede. Still, Kinky Friedman, best-selling mystery writer and former lead singer of Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jew Boys, once noted a striking similarity: Both wear their hats indoors. Meaning, I suspect, that observant Jews, like serious cowboys, do it 24/7.
I know her heart's in the right place, but all that recreational argument actually comes with great reverence to authority. And we do take on the yarmulke at night. Too many American Jews know so little, they don't even know that they don't know, never might what they don't know.
