I am a member of the League of Conservation Voters.  It was partly because they gave me a free Obama bumper sticker and partly because it sounds like Conservative, which is always good for second takes.  I take the environment seriously and now there’s a new Disney movie out there which takes it even more […]

I loved Chappell’s Show and was terribly upset when he left Comedy Central.  One of the greatest episodes of all time was the one which centered on the idea of a racial draft, where other races could draft whatever black people or groups they wanted to.  The Chinese ended up drafting The Wu-Tang Clan, who […]

I have not been nearly as involved with the sad case of the missing, presumed dead, Florida toddler Caylee Anthony as my wife Jan. A little girl, just 2 years old goes missing, and her obviously caring mother Casey Anthony does not bother to report the fact for a month! This makes no sense!
