Costco Protects Palin From Tomatoes by Taking Them Off Shelves

12 Comments | Posted December 17, 2009 | 03:59 PM (EST)


LOVE IT!! She and the NRA insist guns be sold, though they're murderous, even when the president is visiting. But they're fine with tomato disarmament for a book signing. Tomatoes don't kill people, smart readers kill people. Well you can pull my ripe juicy produce out of my cold dead...

Getting Into The White House

59 Comments | Posted November 30, 2009 | 07:20 PM (EST)


You don't get into the White House by accident. It is not airport security, where if you get the fat guy thinking about lunch, your hunting knife and your eight ounces of shampoo sail on through the x-ray. It is nothing like that. The only way anybody, and I mean...

Gay Marriage, Chickens, and How to Win

Posted November 12, 2008 | 10:50 PM (EST)


It's hard to be totally elated at the lifting up of one group (African Americans) when another group (gays) is stripped of the most fundamental of human rights. Prop 8 in California passed; a constitutional amendment to define marriage as being between a man and a woman (or however many...

We Must Pass the Constitutional Amendment to Ban Gay Marriage

Posted October 23, 2008 | 09:06 PM (EST)


Gay marriage has been legal in California since June of this year. That means we have already had the unfortunate benefit of experiencing its predicted erosion of the sanctity of real marriage. Make no mistake, it has wreaked havoc. Just knowing that gays are marrying has ruined my husband's ability...

We Are Getting Tired of Prying Your Guns out of Your Cold Dead Hand

If 33 people were killed by apples instead of guns at Virginia Tech, there wouldn't be an apple left on the shelves or in the homes of this country until apples could be made safe. Screw your "constitutional right" to have an apple, there is something called the "greater good",...

My good friend Steve Young asked me yesterday why I call this "Yelling At The TV" when it doesn't sound like I'm yelling at the TV. I explained that when I yell at the TV (which I actually do, every night) all I yell are horrible curse words, which don't...

Non - Binding Convolutions

Posted March 31, 2007 | 05:00 PM (EST)


I don't get the idea of the non-binding resolution. Why waste weeks fighting over something that has no teeth while people are dying? (Anna Nicole's baby notwithstanding.) A non- binding resolution is a dog and pony show designed to show us, the constituents, that congress "really, really likes us", but...
