Remember a few years back when Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction gave the youth of America a glimpse of her breast? People went bananas. “Our kids saw that!” They cried. And the courts fined CBS for broadcasting the flash of flesh. But right now, there are any number of video games that encourage players to beat [...]

Pearl Harbor: Do we Really Remember?
Posted in Politics, tagged Attack on Pearl Harbor, History, New York City, Pearl Harbor, Pearl Harbor Day, United States, USS Arizona, World War II on December 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Today is Pearl Harbor Day, the anniversary of the terrible attack on US Soil that finally (finally) got the United States to fully engage in World War II, and not too many people seem to care. Of course there are remembrances here and there, and moments of silence on military bases and ships around the [...]
Missin' Ms. Palin
Posted in Humor, Laughs, Politics, tagged John Ashcroft, sarah palin, What Palin should do now on November 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Now that it’s all over, now that John McCain has gone back to Mavericking, and Barak Obama has gone on to make history, now that Joe Sixpack only has empties, Joe Biden has the Vice Presidency, and Joe the Plumber has gone back to doing whatever it is an unlicensed plumber does, I can’t help [...]
Wall Street and the (Stair)Masters of the Universe
Posted in Politics, tagged financial crisis, job fair, Stairmasters, Wall Street, World Trade Center on October 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I walked past a job fair yesterday. Usually, I find them quaint: young, fresh faced, newly graduated and full of hope candidates line up, looking excited at the prospect of their first job, their grown-up life. This group of people, however, looked neither young, nor fresh-faced, nor hopeful. I saw middle-aged men in expensive looking [...]
Stepford Sarah: Palin Programmed for Debate!
Posted in Humor, Politics, tagged folksy, Plain debate performance, robotic Palin on October 3, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Today, I got this email from my brother: Gee willikers, wasn’t Sarah Palin swell last night. Let those East Coast media elites say what they will, but that was one heckuva whizbang show ole Sarah put on. Gosh oh golly she was great. What a nifty VP she’ll make, dontcha think? For those of you [...]
McCain Changes Slogan from Country First to Campaign First!
Posted in Humor, Laughs, Politics, Rants, tagged Elmo, Glinda the Good Witch, Hasselhoff, If McCain Dumps Palin, Political Humor, Unprepared Palin, VP Candidates, write-in candidates on October 1, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Ok. So he didn’t really change his slogan. He might as well have. I mean, far be it from me to accuse a decorated war hero of being less than patriotic…but does anyone out there really believe that McCain was thinking “Country First” when he picked the TOTALLY unprepared (albeit quite perky) Sarah Palin as [...]
John McCain Should've Picked Me!!
Posted in Humor, Laughs, Politics, Rants, tagged John McCain, Pick me for VP, Vice Presidential Nominee on September 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Every time I see Sarah Palin, a former beauty queen (runner up), mother of many, not all that experienced governor of a state that has about as many residents as my building. I cannot believe that John McCain would do this. I mean, why not pick Elisabeth Hasselbeck? She’s cute. She’s conservative. And people have [...]
Gibson Girl: How Last Night's ABC Interview Made Scary Sarah Palin Scarier than Ever
Posted in Politics, Rants, tagged Charlie Gibson, John McCain running mate, Sarah Palin interview on September 12, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Last night I watched Charlie Gibson interview Sarah Palin on ABC News. It was a little light on the tough follow-ups. A little long on her generic aphorisms about victory being in sight and being vigilant. Short on facts, and answers to the actual questions asked. And a teeny bit too perky. But overall, she [...]
White House Bunny: Anna Faris for VP
Posted in Humor, Laughs, Politics, tagged Anna Faris, House Bunny, Perky for VP, Political Humor, sarah palin, Scary Palin, unqualified VP candidate on September 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
If “perky” is all you need to be to be Vice President of the United States, then I nominate Anna Faris, star of the new movie House Bunny…or at least her character, Shelley. She is eminently qualified for any number of reasons. First of all, she’s an advocate for the little guys. (Or the nerdy [...]
