Alright Bandit, Put Your Hands Up and Remove Your Mosque

As part of my 6,000 mile journey driving across this grand country of ours, I also went into a bit of a news blackout. This was partly because I wanted to spend time with my beloved children and family without the distractions of the outside world. And, partly, because wide swaths of this country don’t...

My Life is Terrible!

Or at least that’s what they keep telling me. I’ve come across two articles in the last week that have gone to great pains to tell me how miserable I am. The first article talked about how Marriage is Under Attack! No, no, not from the gays. But I can see how you would think that! Usually...

Jesus Got Juiced

I have delightfully terrible news for you today: Jesus was electrocuted. Ok, let me explain. Two of my best friends in the whole world live in Cincinnati. It’s a lovely place. A fact I am repeatedly told by my friend Sean who grew up there, went away to college, married one of my best friends and...

Look Away, Look Away, Look Away, From Dixie Land

About a month ago, the Republican Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, got himself into some hot water by declaring April “Confederate History Month.” Apparently, it had not occurred to him that not everyone looks at the grand ol’ confederacy with such tender reminiscence: particularly...

Budget Schmudget

There is a phrase floating around Washington nowadays that kind of bugs me. It’s not a new phrase, but it seems to be in the midst of a revival. It first popped up during the President’s State of the Union Address and since then I have heard it bandied about by Democrats and Republicans alike...

Protests and Anti-tests

Oh boy folks. I have a doozy of a story for you this morning. It’s just wonderful. It will make you smile all day long. But to truly appreciate it, first I have to make you a little sad. You probably know who the Westboro Baptist Church is, even if you don’t know them by name. They are the...

The World is Going to the Dogs

I was metaphorically flipping through the pages of the internet yesterday and came across this extraordinary headline: KATHERINE HEIGL'S ORGANIZATION AIRLIFTS DOZENS OF DOGS http://wonderwall.msn.com/tv/katherine-heigls-organization-airlifts-dozens-of-dogs-1528634.story?GT1=28135 Apparently Heigel...

Oh, Dosh!

My son Micah is two years old. He has many wonderful qualities, such as the desire to snuggle with you on the couch, the charisma to wear a pair of overalls without looking dorky and the ability to remove all of his clothing and diaper and use his crib as a toilet. But perhaps the thing I love most about...

D’oh! A Deer!

So, last night we were sitting around the dinner table talking about whatever it is we talk about when my wife casually referenced, “you know like the deer at the national zoo.” I stared blankly at her. What? “You know, the deer that jumped in the lion’s cage at the zoo? WHAT...

Coming Up Live at 5! Pain! Misery! And Abject Stupidity!

Is there anything worse than local TV news? I mean, really. Anything? It’s sort of remarkable really. Sometimes local newspapers can be good and sometimes they’re just worthless, but the local TV news is universally horrible. It doesn’t matter whether you are watching the local news...

Hey! Enough With The Hitler References, You Crackpots!

Nobody likes Hitler. Ok, I know there are a few psycho nut jobs out there who like Hitler, but I’m not talking about them. No, for the most part, nobody likes Hitler. But man oh man do people like bringing him up to make inappropriate and inaccurate comparisons. I’m sure everyone has seen...

Why Our Economy is in the Crapper

I’m sure many of you have been confused and distressed as you have watched over the last year or so as our national economy has begun to curl up and die like a spider in the toilet. I’m sure you’ve listened with confusion as you have heard “experts” talk about “mark...

A Novel Approach

We drove up to visit my wife’s family in upstate New York this past weekend. (Note to Pennsylvania DOT: Memorial Day isn’t really the best time to close down all but one lane of the interstate for no apparent reason. It makes people hate you more than normal) While we were there we stopped...

Freaky News Friday

Yes, it’s another edition of Freaky News Friday. That day when we spend some time ruminating on various “news” headlines circulating on the web and wondering out loud how editors at CNN and MSNBC manage to sleep at night and why what’s left of their journalistic integrity doesn’t...

Flash Mountain

Do you remember that scene in “A Beautiful Mind” where Russell Crowe is staring at those news clippings hanging all over the wall and he starts seeing secret codes and connections and Sudoku answers he had never noticed? Well, that happened to me this morning. And yes, yes, I know that Russell...
