"Um, we thought we'd just go the shul for our adult ed class."

The Los Angeles times reports that "Bernanke's parents are staying home in North Carolina because their son has told them there's nothing to see. They don't plan on being glued to the TV either. 'We have a class at the synagogue,' Edna Bernanke said. 'We'll put a tape in the VCR and see if we caught something when we come home.'"
So we learn three important things about the new Fed Chairman's parents from Mrs. Bernanke's quote:
A) She wanted her son to become a doctor;
B) Either her rabbi's a good teacher or the shul serves good coffee at evening classes; and,
C) They don't have Tivo.
Well, good luck to Ben Shalom Bernanke in his new position. The world (perhaps excluding Mom and Dad) will be watching.
