The Post seems to be searching far and wide for those who have come up short in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scam. Today they talk to David Resnick, once an associate director at the America-Israel Cultural Foundation until 'Mad' money dried up the organization and cost him his job. Resnick fully admits to the Post that upon learning he was laid off, he went into his office and wept. But it gets worse. 29-year-old Resnick may have to move out of his Morningside Heights apartment and head "somewhere further out, in Brooklyn or Queens." Of course if that's too much for him to swallow, he may move back into his parents' Upper West Side apartment. Resnick's no pushover though. He passes along word to the 70-year-old Madoff, "If he's complaining about being under house arrest, he needs a good slap in the face—or worse." As Jack Handey once said, "It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man."
