That's a nice Biblical word) that we all watch reruns of both "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" during Hanukkah while eating latkes and singing songs (while live blogging the whole thing of course.)<BR/><BR/>We can also videotape it and ask Jerry Stiller to commentate.

What do we do about the conflict?<BR/><BR/>2. Is there even a conflict?<BR/><BR/>3. Should we care?<BR/><BR/>4.
