Look, I know it’s complicated. And I don’t feel compelled to pick a side. This much I will say. There’s no question that Hezbollah is, or certainly acts like, a terrorist organization, and Israel is justified in defending itself from those attacks. But to my mind, Israel’s response is disproportionate, over-the-top, and reckless. Two example in the past 24 hours: … Read More
Barack Is Da Bomb
Barack Obama, the junior Senator from Illinois, who I predicted one year ago would become President someday, is the most beloved Senator in the country.
Who’s Gay Today
Lance Bass. Bill Clinton is too, according to Ann Coulter (Seriously!) RELATED: Did you know that the whole Hezbollah-Israel clash is due to — wait for it — a homosexual parade?
Another “Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical” Quote Of The Day
Here’s the thing. I’m too frantic trying to remember choreography moves, which is why I can’t remember many of the funny things said during rehearsals. Be that as it may, some things stand out: "I forgot the part where I scratch my kitty, and that’s why we got thrown off" — Female cast member during choregography rehearsal "I like astroturf, … Read More
My Celebrity Friends
MyHeritage.com is a website that traces family geneology. But they’ve got a cool new feature which has little to do with geneology. All you do is go here, upload a picture of yourself (a quick and easy free resigistration may be required), and their "face recognition" software kicks back a list of celebrities with similar facial features and structure.

Dude, That Is So Wrong
From Missouri: The assault trial of a man accused of shoving a cell phone down a woman’s throat has begun. Prosecutors say 24-year-old Marlon Brando Gill was angry and jealous when he forced the phone into Melinda Abell’s throat in December.

Citizen Diplomacy
On September 12, 2001, the French newspaper La Monde headlined "We Are All Americans Today", or something like that. That was certainly the global sentiment. Everybody was united with us, and we Americans were united. Incredible how five years of Bush policies have not only divided the country, but turned our longstanding friends and allies into rampant America-haters. It’s really … Read More
Monopoly — Now With Debit Cards
Looks like Parker Brothers is phasing out the multi-colored bills from Monopoly. Sign of the times. It almost makes me want to play again. That way, when the games end in a tantrum (as they are prone to do), there will be less pieces of paper to pick up. On the other hand, someone might get hurt by the debit … Read More

Rape Victim Denied Morning-After Pill
Look. If your religion prevents you from doing your job, then either (a) get another job or (b) get another religion. Here’s what I’m talking about — a story from Lancaster, PA: A Good Samaritan Hospital emergency room doctor refused to give a rape victim a morning-after pill because he said it was against his Mennonite religion. Rebuffed by the … Read More
Ken Jennings Blog
Ken Jennings, the dude who won 74 times in a row on Jeopardy!, netting a total of $2.5 million, has started a blog. Already, he’s created quite a buzz, mostly from a post last week about Jeopardy!: Dear Jeopardy!, Hey, I hope you remember me. It’s been a while since we talked. We were a bit of an item a … Read More
Bush Has A Better Plan
The scariest five words in the English language: WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush said Tuesday that a U.S. military program to bolster Iraqi security forces in Baghdad will better address the violence there as he pledged to stand by Iraq’s new democratic government. "Obviously the violence in Baghdad is still terrible," Bush said during a joint White House news conference … Read More
Talk About Bad Omens
While piloting his private plane, a guy proposes marriage to his girlfriend (with the aid of friends and family on the ground with a tarp). Before she can answer, the plane crashes. P.S. She still said "yes".
