It's a nice, quiet Memorial Day weekend. Kids frolic on the beach, friends barbecue in backyards, and the Securities and Exchange Commission decides to announce it's tip-toeing away from the biggest corporate bankruptcy scandal in U.S. history, without prosecuting a soul.

One question that arises, is, perhaps the SEC picked...

By now, most of us have heard of Golden Dawn, the Greek Neo-Nazi party who claim they're not Neo-Nazis, shocked, not only the Greeks, but the rest of the world, by winning close to 7% in Greece's parliamentary elections -- meaning they will be sending around 21 deputies to parliament...

Isn't it just a shame when everyone but you knows it's over? I'm all for the "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings" attitude, but, when others are hurt due to your stubbornness, (e.g., costing tax payers tens of thousands of dollars a day for your secret service detail,...

In a rare show of unity this morning, the House unanimously approved the "Apatow-Segel" Bill 435-0. It is believed that president Obama will sign the bill into law sometime this week.

If upheld, beginning May 1, 2012, all comedies and romantic comedies with a budget at, or above, $20...

In a climate where most news stories are lucky if they're remembered for fifteen seconds, let alone fifteen minutes, the OWS movement has refused to go quietly.

In fact, it seems, even though most of the movement's die-hard supporters were forced to physically pack up their tents and vacate...

Remember those teachers who tried to teach their students by force? It never worked, did it? On the contrary, those who laughed with their students, and respected them, and allowed them freedom to express themselves, were revered by their students for the rest of their lives.

I'll bet you...

From the cheerful way United's CEO, Jeff Smisek, virtually greets you at your seat before takeoff, you'd think everything was just peachy in the newly-merged, friendly skies. More routes are being added, new planes are being bought, the online reservation system is supposedly getting easier and cabins are being modernized...

If what had happened to Trayvon Martin happened in the 1960's or 70's, odds are you wouldn't even know who he is. There'd be no marches, no rallies, no t-shirts, and no candlelight vigils. By all accounts, his file and his story would be buried deep in a stock room...

The other night, I met up with some friends for drinks at the bar in the W Hotel in Hoboken. Being the generous guy that I am, I offered to pick up the tab. We were there for less than an hour, and, when I went to close out, the...

Forget, for a moment, the John Walker Lindh's and Timothy McVeigh's of the world. This article is not about that kind of domestic terrorist. Rather, it's about those individuals whose job it is to knowingly look the other way, and contribute to the poisoning of their fellow citizens on a...

When he was a young man, my grandfather was quite the formidable figure. Tall, handsome, and, dressed in his NYPD blues, the last thing you wanted to see in front of you if you were a criminal. Throughout his career, he was awarded several citations for bravery in the line...

In a surprising move, The Devil himself announced this morning he has decided to throw his hat in the ring for the Republican nomination for president. Speaking from his home in Trump Tower, when asked why, after all this time, he decided now would be a good time to reveal...

In a move applauded by most pundits, and all Americans with an I.Q. over 7, the four leading candidates vying for the Republican nomination have unanimously agreed to eliminate facts of any kind from all future debates, thereby assuring themselves of no more "annoying questions" following each round.

Having...

It must be weird to be on the wrong side of history and not know it. It was less than fifty years ago that the passing of the Civil Rights Act gave blacks the same privileges under the law as whites. Even though it was a milestone, there were still...

Gazing into the full-length mirror left in the back of the room by a P.A. on a lunch break, Idol judge, Steven Tyler, accidentally took his own reflection for that of a prospective hopeful, and began complimenting the singer on his looks, his talent, and most of all, his "sexiness."...

While many world-renowned scientists have attributed the mysterious recent appearances of the primitive Mashco-Piro tribe on the banks of a jungle river in Peru to the encroachment of western civilization, one anthropologist has a different take. "They're here for the Facebook IPO," says Harvard anthropologist, Dr. Dean Mosley.

Dr....

What are we saying to the young people of this country when our top elected officials are allowed to behave as if they're on a reality show? And, where do we draw the line between "free speech" and treason? It's bad enough when a meatball like Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI)...

Earlier today, The Washington Post received an envelope from an anonymous source containing the tax return of a man by the name of "Ritt Momney." The return is a one-page 1040EZ form.

In the somewhat illegible and confusing document, Mr. Momney, whose return was prepared by Sears-based franchise H&R Block,...

When Injustice Becomes Law, resistance Becomes Duty. -- Thomas Jefferson.

#Whilewewatch is not a film you walk out of saying you "like" or "dislike." This is a film you feel. If you're not moved by the disturbing images on the screen in front of you, you're simply not...

2011 hit many of us right where it hurts. But on a few, joyous, rare occasions, some of us struck back. Case in point: the deserting of the good ship Netflix by 800,000 of its subscribers thanks, in most part, to CEO Reed Hastings having drastically underestimated the...
