Now that we’re done chuckling over Al Gore’s breathtaking hypocrisy regarding the sale of his Current TV to Al Jazeera — a news outfit owned by Qatar, a country that gets its money from the same oil that Al Gore tells us will destroy the planet – and now that we’ve stopped rolling our eyes…
It didn’t take Carnak the Magnificent to see this one coming. The euphemistically titled Affordable Care Act … isn’t. Affordable, that is. Turns out that hundreds of employees at Wendy’s are having their hours cut because of the new health care law, better known as ObamaCare. And that’s just in and around one mid-size city,…
Neither side has cornered the market on hypocrisy. The conservative kind embarrasses me, because that’s my team and I can’t defend it. The liberal variety, on the other hand, makes me laugh — at them, not with them. Remember the suburban New York newspaper, the Journal News – the paper that printed the names and…

John Wayne is dead and sometimes I think the Republican Party didn’t get the news. We Americans don’t latch onto just any old myth. We pick only the ones that make us feel good about ourselves. So even if it was only the stuff of Hollywood movies, John Wayne became a giant in our culture,…
We’ve already started hearing the arguments about how we need to control guns, at least certain kinds of guns. We hear these same arguments every time something horrific, like the terrible tragedy in Connecticut, shatters our otherwise normal routine. This time, I suspect, we’ll stop talking and actually do something. Twenty dead first graders has…
