“If you’re keeping score at home, they have now applauded executions at the Republican debate, they have cheered letting an uninsured man die, and they booed an active duty U.S. serviceman for being gay. I don’t know how you get to the right with this crowd but Ron Paul’s new campaign ad is just the […]

© Jen Sorensen Leaf blowers are one of my pet peeves. They pollute as much as an automobile, make horrible noise, and for what — to push leaves around your yard? I think they should be outlawed, or at the very least converted to battery power. And speaking of pet peeves, how come everything is […]

A comic and commentary from Ed Stein: © Ed Stein Surprise! Health insurance went up again this year , at many times the inflation rate. A family of four now must spend more than $15,000 for health insurance. By the time deductibles and co-pays are factored in, who but the rich can afford it if […]

Some of this is (deservedly) brought on by the ridiculous patent wars currently going on between Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, HTC and others. Or by the increasing number of “patent trolls” — companies that don’t actually build much of anything but […]

“Gays are now allowed to serve openly in the military. So maybe our next war could be a musical.” – David Letterman “Gays can now openly serve in the military, which is good news, unless you’re gay and you don’t want to join the military and they reinstate the draft.” – Jay Leno “The meeting […]

“Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is now over. Gay people can enlist, fight overseas, and then not be able to get married when they get back home.” – Jay Leno “The military’s controversial ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy was officially retired.
