Kids also use the word "kishka" in less culinary ways. My husband, growing
up in a Jewish neighborhood in Detroit in the 1950s and early 1960s, says
that at recess and at sporting events, kids taunted the opposing team by
chanting, "Ishka, pishka, hit 'em in the kishka!"

One vote can make a difference. Last time, the Supreme(ly Political) Court
decided. This time, let's make sure we decide, because people who fail to
vote have no right to bitch about who takes office.
