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…
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,…
As a Republican, I’ve been finding it hard to stay upbeat while watching the daily drama of the presidential primary campaign.

All in all, 2011 provided us with some pretty good news. For one thing, our military took care of Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki, God got rid of Kim Jong-Il and, for good measure, Barney Frank finally got around to announcing his retirement.
