Satirical Semite: Good Deeds Unpunished There is a good deed for which you might get punished: giving charity in the USA. It took me a while to understand not what to give but how to give. I once donated to a children’s charity that resulted in me receiving a slew of mailings asking me to support cash-strapped schools in the Appalachians, toy drives in Texas and campaigns to restore the chastity of Christian born-again virgins in Texas. If Evangelical virgins can achieve their goals with a gentle swipe of my Mastercard, then praise the good Lord and all virginal Jewish mothers.
