It is time to redefine the marriage contract. Heterosexuals have laid waste to the concept since time immemorial, from before Henry VIII on past Elizabeth Taylor, and at long last homosexuals should be given exclusive domain over legal marriage. For the entire course of mankind, since the birth of civilization,...

Facebook founder and billionaire Mark Zuckerberg announced the upcoming release of the Facebook Baby Photos Unlimited App, built by Zynga, maker of Farmville, Mafia Wars and other online games for the social media giant. After the 250 millionth redundant picture of an infant was uploaded by a proud...

As the seconds ticked down in the Dallas Mavericks' 105-95 series clinching victory over LeBron James and the Miami Heat Sunday night, crowning Dallas the 2010-2011 NBA champions, jubilation erupted on the streets of Cleveland, Ohio. Former Cleveland Cavalier and one-time hometown hero LeBron James earned universal scorn on the...

The chief flaw of the GOP -- as well as the source of its greatest pragmatic strength -- is the inherent deceit. The conservative powers that be know damn well there are a lot more people in this country who are not millionaires, than who are. And in order to...

Author's Note: It has come to my attention that there was a widely-discussed satiric piece by Mark Boslough published last century also premised on the notion of the value of pi being changed. Any similarity between the earlier piece and mine is purely coincidental.

Congresswoman Martha Roby (R-Ala.) is sponsoring...

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann was (campaigning?) in South Carolina last weekend, home to an important early Republican presidential primary where she touted, among other things, the deficit-dissolving abilities of Glenn Beck's magic chalkboard. Elected to Congress four years ago, she does have better political bona fides than Sarah...

The Onion newspaper, commonly known as "America's Finest News Source," published an article depicting their version of a 2083 classroom, in a country long accepting homosexuality as, well, as what some people are. But what if we follow another path?

Future History Students: "But two men or two...

Human life is a lot of things, but inherently "sacred" is not one of them. There are many, many human lives of sanctity to every degree up to and including the truly sacred. But none of us, certainly not our governing class, have ever practiced what some of our leading...

Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., is home to one of America's last communist experiments; and it's a near century-long success story. Founded in 1919, the Green Bay Packers remain the only major league franchise in American professional sports without traditional private owners. There are certainly no billionaires...

"I think it's absolutely ridiculous," said Julie Fagerstrom, mother of one of the four boys sent home from Live Oak High School on May 5. "All they were doing was displaying their patriotic nature."

This telling, knee-jerk reaction, endorsing louder, like-minded Tea Party ignorance, is what should stand...

129 college basketball teams saw their seasons extend with invitations to one of four postseason tournaments for Division I men's college basketball. It's time for the National Basketball Association to take a cue from our universities and revamp their own postseason by adding the N.B.A. National Invitational Tournament.

I'm not a regular viewer of Hannity on the Fox News Channel (an aside, I have long theorized Sean Hannity's old liberal patsy, Alan Colmes, was about as genuinely left as Stephen Colbert is honestly conservative). Like with Colbert's Bill "Papa Bear" O'Reilly or Greta van What's-her-name, I will occasionally,...

Give Bill O'Reilly and his kind some credit, they are good at what they do. For years O'Reilly crusaded against Dr. George "Tiller the Baby Killer," stirring up the duller members of the Fox News Fan Club, especially. Longtime anti-abortion (and anti-government) nut Scott Roeder presumably did God's work, murdering...

Praise be to Jesus, Allah, or any prophet of your choice, for Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) and his Senate sidekick Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), both friends to fetuses everywhere. The Democratic legislators restored every voter's favorite deal-breaker back to the spotlight. I, for one, had been missing the rhetoric.
