With the Easter Bunny’s poufy tail still visible in the rear view mirror, I wonder for half-a-heartbeat if it isn’t too early to chat about the Catholic Church. But what the hell? People were making Michael Jackson jokes on Facebook within hours of his death and I’m not even planning on making jokes. The fact [...]

I will, I will, I will! weigh in on the UCSD PR nightmare that seems to get worse with each day, and which makes me want to bubble-wrap my little girl before I launch her into the dangerous territory of adulthood. But for now, I’m busy faxing and re-faxing and re-faxing again, reams of paper. [...]

Overheard at my dentist’s office last week: Patient (white, middle-aged, male) at reception: I missed Aubrey. I was really hoping she would be cleaning my teeth today. Receptionist: I know, I know. She’s on her honeymoon. Patient: Where did she go? Receptionist: Africa. Patient: Wow! She just might come back with a bone in her [...]

When Playboy asked you whether black women “throw themselves” at you, you said: “I don’t think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my dick.” Well, jeeze. This is awkward [...]

Michael Steele is a peach. The Republican Party’s chairman and blackface (double entendre, intended), is calling for Senator Harry Reid to step down as US Senate Majority Leader over a purportedly racist comment he made during the 2008 election. In the forthcoming book Game Change, Reid is quoted as having said that Barack Obama would [...]

I have something to say about citizens bringing guns to Presidential events. Which is perhaps more inflammatory than the swimsuit worn by that…person…in my previous post. Or, perhaps not. You be The Decider.

“This was a whole lot more than a simple affair, this was a love story. A forbidden one, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day.” -The self-absorbed asshat, in light of his other dalliances that didn’t cross “the ultimate line,” which I can only presume—given the Governor’s record on [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
