The thing about finding the pea, (or marble or piece of crumpled paper), under the shell, (or Dixie Cup©), is that, if the manipulator is competent, and the pea, etc., is not actually in his hand, the chance of finding it is always 33%…hardly a game at all. The beauty…
Oh, those hilarious politicians; the New York ones this time who agonized over losing either the gay vote or the religious vote in arguments that clearly declared the two to be mutually exclusive. In the end, a few Republicans, (whose constituents, I guess, are wealthy, straight, rich, god-fearing and wealthy),…
I would have picked this theme on Mother’s Day, but I got distracted by the Seals blowing away bin Laden. So, with apologies to Mom, on this Father’s Day, (“A bullshit holiday made up by Hallmark®”, my father would say as he then proceeded to remember his and every other…
When you’re 3 years old, one of the funniest jokes in your world is, “underpants”. It’s hilarious and naughty and worth telling even if, in some unenlightened households, it may get you sent to your room. Off-color jokes have always been the funniest, (except for the ‘horse goes into a…
Usually when you think of the term, “skipping a generation”, it’s in reference to some genetic disposition like red hair or twins or the ability to turn your tongue over. But our all-consuming obsession with the economy, and the deficit in particular, has begun redefining the phrase in the bleakest…
I hope you’ll excuse my punnish play on words in this week’s title, but listening to the pre-election blather by candidates and supporters in the special Congressional race in Buffalo, NY, (to replace sleaze ball, Chris Lee), and the aftermath, featuring Paul Ryan defending his defenseless budget proposal, it has…
Let me get this straight. The ‘Chosen People’, (I was born one and it’s hard to shake that special feeling), who wrestled, (and terrorized), the territory that became the state of Israel away from, (among many others), the British, and have crafted unholy, (maybe inappropriate for the ‘Holy Land’), alliances…
Now we’re talking. Let’s get the 2012 campaigning started! Don’t anybody worry that we haven’t really taken care of anything of consequence in 2008-11. Health Care Reform, you say…how’s that working out for everybody who’s not a health insurance company? Financial Reform? Raise your hand if that’s making your day…
The gene pool has been improved. Thank you Navy Seals, (and by the way, the shot through the eye was a nice biblical touch). Oh…and no virgins for you, Osama. But let’s not confuse an heroic undercover spy mission with the overblown, unconscionable mess we’re in in Afghanistan. Taking down…
Hey, Prez, it’s been a while since my last direct communique; a few of things: Aloha! I’m still confused as to why you were so mysterious about the birth certificate thing, but now that you’ve shared, maybe we can just move on to other banal and more racially volatile subjects…
