The Madoff family is looking for a name change and quite frankly, I don’t blame them. “Morgan” would be the new name, according to HuffingtonPost.com. But, my only issues is, where’s the Jew in Morgan?

Anything but Morgan. They’re stripping themselves of their Jewish identity as they baptize their surname. I’m sure this community of online readers can do better and with that said…
