and here I thought that I could get in on that money, only to realize it was an April Fool's gag.

Oh well.

Great Purim Spiel! Too bad many people reading it would think it was serious.

The love of money to the exclusion of moral virtue, a terrible thing to be sure, is not exclusively or especially an American vice. Observe that 1 Timothy 6:10 was written long before the discovery of America.

Don’t be so quick to condemn this country without a fair comparison to others. You might find it, on balance, a paragon.

Took me awhile to realize your post was a Purim spiel, a Jewish version of an April's fool gag. In the beginning I was happy that you found a wealthy benefactor, and was expecting you to say you would discontinue the Zionist Voice because you no longer had need of the immense financial benefits you gain from this blog. Glad it will continue.
