William Safire, speechwriter and columnist, dies

@LATimescitydesk Looking for love at the synagogue, even on Yom Kippur: http://bit.ly/104cuQ

@daweiner http://bit.ly/cfBEy Great pics of Kaparot, where Orthodox Jews slaughter chickens for Yom Kippur. Might be a little graphic for some

@HowardKurtz A rabbi says atoning for Yom Kippur on Twitter & Facebook doesn't work. Gosh darn it. http://tinyurl.com/y9gf3e6

@peteramckay Yom Kippur effect? NYSE composite volume at 1.4B shares around midday. Well behind pace for full-day avg 6B. #MKT $$

@LATimesmuskal latimesmuskal: Should be a quiet day as the world recognizes #Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement

@katerock7 katerockin: The last meal before Yom Kippur: caesar salad, Philly cheese steaks, fries, fruit cobbler. In my dream, I ate a whole pizza.

@ChrisCuomo An easy fast to all my jewish brothers and sisters on yom kippur.

@ericbolling There is an old trading floor rule "sell on Rosh Hashanah, buy on Yom Kippur".... It worked again. Not religious, just a seasonal trade. $$
