Speaking of Hillary’s efforts to count Florida on CNN yesterday, congressional correspondent Jessica Yellin said some of Hillary’s methods might not be considered "kosher" by the Democratic Party. It used to be that people used the word "cricket" to convey the idea of observing the rules, or bending them. Nothing wrong with kosher. But another sign that Jews are principals in American life…

I've heard this all my life from all sorts of people. I also have never heard of the term "cricket" but then again I don't live in Britain.
BTW, Goldberg references Ari Ben Canaan.
The blogentry link to eaazi.blogspot.com
has an embedded Exodus film clip that features Ari Ben Canaan.
In my example screenplays for Palestinian-sympathetic Hollywood-style cinema, I have a minor but important character also named Ari Ben Canaan.

Cricket versus kosher.
One might have to be over 50 to remember that cricket was once used where kosher serves today, but none of the common Yiddishisms existed at the Pingry School that I attended even though there was a small minority of Jewish students.

I remember that sometimes it seemed as if I was speaking a different language at school from the one I used in the mixed Italian, Jewish, Ukrainian neighbor where I lived.
BTW, I put my first comment under the wrong blogentry. It should have been under "Goldberg Courageous…"
kosher as in "kosher meth".
kosher as in a jewish tax on all.
kosher as in kosher wars.
