Mark Gottfried has resigned as Alabama's basketball coach. In related news, Alabama's Jewish population has been cut in half.

The Mel Gibson Jewish Outreach Tour is finally underway.

It took a few days to get going.  Mel's people couldn't find a listing in the Yellow Pages for "Jewish conspiracy, International".

They called the Dalai Lama.  He gave them Jackie Mason's number.

I don't like to kick somebody when they're down, but there is a history here.

In 2004 Gibson did an interview with Reader's Digest in which he said the Holocaust was "kind of a numbers game.  I mean, when the war was over, they said it was 12 million.  Then it was six.  Now it's four."

Yeah, right.  Sort of like prunes.  Is four million enough?  Is six million too many?

Anyway, here's Mel's community service deal.

1.  He the goy busboy at the Friar's Club for the rest of the summer.  Anybody wants their brisket wrapped up to take home, he's gotta do it.

2.  A month's worth of sensitivity training at the Mort Sahl Center for Interfaith Understanding.  Sarah Silverman will guide Mel through a role-playing session using Barbra Streisand's "Yentl" as a teaching tool.

3.  Gibson will produce a buddy film with Gilbert Gottfried as his sidekick.  Working title:  Lethal Weapon 5: The Mad Moyel.

Let the healing begin!
