I'm nearly as sick of reading about the evil Rubashkins as I am of Britney Speares' mental status. Fine, they did what they did. It was bad. Can we let the prosecutor worry about it, and move on to the next story now?

The Rubashkins are still not showing any penitence and no remorse and that is what is galling all and sundry.

Mo, let me ask you this. If you were reincarnated as a dark-skinned gentile, and were told you could work either at Hebrew National or at Rubashkins, which one would you pick?

Ach! Joy! I don't know about the US, but what Rubashkin did would qualify as capital crime over here. And no, Mo, we aren't Communist.

Hello, it's talking about the goodwill people may or may not have for them after they gave illegal mexicans mexican working standards. And as a counterpoint, it's perfectly relevant.

We don't build up "accounts" of good deeds and felonies are our withdrawals, leaving a plus in the bank.
