Interview with the Empire

Jeffrey Webb — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:00:18 +0000

Most of us have heard the question “if you could interview anyone, living or dead, who would it be?” And I’m sure you comedians out there, if asked, would answer “the living one.” (For the love of all things holy, resist.) Since I was a teenager I’ve often thought of what it’d be like to...

Fox News Flash: “The Earth is Round” Liberals: “Fox Lies”

Leona Salazar — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:47:49 +0000

It’s astounding to me that some people think that way. Heck, Media Matters exists just to pick apart every word, phrase, sentence that is uttered on Fox News. First, let me say that I watch the O’Reilly Factor regularly. I love Bill and I don’t get why anyone doesn’t like him. Maybe he’s an acquired...

Good Christian Bigots

Bernard Goldberg — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:48:50 +0000

Some of the nicest, most decent, generous people I have met over the years were people of faith. And so were some of the most hateful, bigoted ignorant bastards. I thought of this after I was deluged with the most depressing emails I have received in a very long time, the reaction to my appearance...

The Great American News Quiz

Burt Prelutsky — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:01:02 +0000

It is obvious that when it comes to elections, the Democrats are always looking to game the system. That is why they are always campaigning to give voting privileges to prison inmates and illegal aliens. It also explains why people like Eric Holder make themselves look so foolish when they insist that the use of...

The 5 Stages of Mitt

Bernard Goldberg — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:10:11 +0000

The last time I wrote in this space I concluded my column with this: The fat lady may not be singing, but she’s warming up in the wings. I wrote that right after Mitt Romney won Florida — my way of saying, the GOP race is almost over. Since then he won Nevada. And he...

Heroes & Goats

Burt Prelutsky — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:01:55 +0000

Part of the reason that people enjoy watching sporting events is because the outcome is clear cut. One team wins, another loses. Outcomes aren’t usually so black and white in any other area of life. That being said, my problem with sporting events is that far too often team defeats are laid at the feet...

Some Light Bulbs Are Screwy

Burt Prelutsky — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:01:21 +0000

When I heard Newt Gingrich seriously suggest that America, a nation perched on the edge of economic collapse because of Obama’s sending our debt soaring from $10 trillion to $16 trillion, should consider setting up a colony on the moon — and, furthermore, granting statehood when the colony population reached 13,000 — it occurred to...

My Fantasy Job

Leona Salazar — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:18:20 +0000

I like flying and do it a lot. I also think flight attendants have a difficult job and their resume should read “being nice to stupid people.” I wouldn’t want to be a flight attendant but one of my fantasy jobs would be getting people on board the aircraft. Once they’re on and settled in,...

GOP Primaries… The Final Frontier

John Daly — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:11:37 +0000

As a Republican, I’ve been finding it hard to stay upbeat while watching the daily drama of the presidential primary campaign. It’s taken disappointing, unexpected turns and it’s been disheartening to see how personal it has become. So, I thought it might be a good time to lighten up the tone, escape the angry rhetoric,...
