How do you solve a problem like Maria? Governor Sanford does it by writing her emails, like this one in which he bloviates on becoming one with the earth and imagines what it must be like to be a man who works with his hands: “…I went out and ran the excavator with lights until [...]

Certain things frighten me to such a magnitude that they disrupt the normal motility of my colon. Reality television, Mustangs, mullets, self-inflicted penile injuries and the county fair all make the list. There’s vomit, Smucker’s Goober PB&J, The Jonas Brothers, suburbia and Dora the Explorer.

The true colors of a certain group of Americans are coming into ever-clearer focus through an almost daily litany of public comments. Look at this beaut from a GOP activist out of South Carolina, who has some thoughts about the genetic relationship between an escaped gorilla and our first lady. But it’s okay, right? Since [...]

The House Minority Leader John Boehner says that bringing Guantanamo detainees to the United States for trial and future detention is “…the first step in the Democrats’ plan to import terrorists into America.” I’d like to point out to Mr. Boehner that we don’t need to import any terrorists because we’re breeding them, incubating them, [...]
