One more to go
One bum down and another to go. I'm talking about the murderer Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the asshole who loved to behead people on video tape in the name of Allah and freedom. The U.S. killed him by dropping 500-pound bombs on his apparently not very safe house. And now he's no more. Osama bin Laden...

Ah, to read a magazine without clutter
I subscribe to several magazines. That’s not unusual. Many people subscribe to at least one magazine. There’s nothing like holding a publication in your hand and reading it and turning the pages. Beats reading stuff on the computer. It's kind of difficult to read a computer while on the toilet....

Couldn't pay for the publicity
They complained and threatened so much that they lost big. To paraphrase the Bard, “Methinks they doth protest too much,” or something like that. Take The DaVinci Code. People, apparently around the world, were up in arms about the subject of the movie, although they seemed to have said nothing...

The language of the land
English has never been made the official language of this country, which is hard to believe, considering about 98 percent of the people in the USA speak English as their primary language and the mainstream press and the vast majority of our TV and radio stations (except where there's a high...

Keep it self service
Gov. Jon Corzine of New Jersey tells us he’s given up on the self-service gas station idea he's been throwing around for the past several weeks because of the negative reaction by the public and the Legislature and because there are more pressing issues to address. He also claims he’s received a lot...

Couldn't pay for the publicity
You couldn't ask for greater publicity. The DaVinci Code is causing so much controversy and turmoil worldwide among various factions, if it doesn't turn out to be the biggest grossing movie of all time then something's wrong. Ticket sales should skyrocket in the same way they did for The Passion of...

A banquet every Sunday
For most of us, dinner is usually eaten at 5 or 6 p.m. Some people, senior citizens among them, will often dine out at restaurants that feature “early bird” specials from 4-6 p.m. Certain entrées are reduced in price and served to those who want to eat early while saving money. But I remember as a...

The Chicken or the Egg?....
There is that age-old question: what came first, the chicken or the egg? Let me rephrase it somewhat for our modern society: what comes first, a pedophile or a priest? Does the Catholic Church attract pedophiles or does the celibacy create pedophiles? It's being revealed almost every month that...

It would be one helluva race
People keep mentioning Hillary Clinton as the possible front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. God forbid!!! Anyway, that’s what’s going around. Personally, I like Mary Landrieu, the senior senator from Louisiana, as the Democratic choice for president. If you must have a...
