“Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale…”. In this case, the tale would begin about a Presidential campaign that promised “hope” and “change”. Change from the tired old Washington politics. But more and more I’m feeling like one of millions of “Gilligan’s”, stranded on an island after what was supposed [...]

I begin by making the unconventional request that as you read this, you imagine the theme to “Dragnet” playing softly in the background. “I was working the daywatch out of San Bernardino…”. Except the quirky detective is no longer Joe Friday, but instead House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The diminutive, insipid, toad of [...]

You may be expecting Monty Hall to enter from stage left and the roar of an excited crowd. If you’re my age, you’ll understand that reference to the once popular game show where contestants chose between items hidden under large boxes or behind curtains. One might win anything from a new car to [...]

Wait a minute…no…that was “Musk for Men”, that cologne from the 70’s reserved for guys who drove Corvettes. What we need is a Mosque for men, although that may be a contradiction in terms. We’re getting a Mosque, ready or not, but it’s not just any old Mosque. This one will be [...]

If you’re my age you probably remember Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, a television series about wildlife. Too bad the host, Marlin Perkins, wasn’t around, because we’ve got a whole new “Wild Kingdom” to talk about and you don’t need to go to the Serengeti to see it.
I’ve written before how astonishing our current [...]

The only thing more gooey than the Gulf Coast right now is the personality of California Representative Pete Stark. Indeed, nothing would bring me more joy than to see him drenched in crude and hopefully near an open flame. On this Independence Day, when we honor our country and freedom, and the unspeakable [...]

Watch what you say around the office. Especially if the office is in the Rolling Stone Magazine building. The subject seems tired already but is too important to leave alone. I’m already tired of hearing about it, but feel the need, naturally, to opine about it just the same.
General Stanley McChrystal owes [...]

Though the Federal Government used thousands of Census-Taker jobs to inflate the latest employment figures, they probably forgot that the very fact that they did that actually fueled the very fire that is toasting the buttocks of those same federal employees. A spate of recent news stories relate the various instances of aggression and [...]
