Knowing Tammy thinks highly of David Mamet, I didn't want her to miss this article during her travels :)

    For those that haven’t read his book, “Secret Knowledge”, we recommend it.

    I am a big fan of David Mamet, *but* he did not explain the meaning of “Chelm” (Does Mamet think *everyone* is Jewish? :) )

    Chelm is the name of a mythical town, and many humorous stories in Jewish literature were written about the “wise people” of Chelm — who were really a bunch of fools. So the term “Chelm” immediately conjures up an image of leaders who think they are wise, but are really, um, like stupid Libs.
