Based on a play by Lanford Wilson, producer Norman Lear (All In The Family, The Jeffersons) used a broken down hotel as backdrop for... Read more »

The people of Nepal need your help, so eat some frozen yogurt

If there’s a Menchies in your area, I highly recommend the experience, at least once.  If you haven’t heard of Menchies, it’s a self-serve, frozen yogurt place with a dozen different flavors and a couple dozen different toppings. You can overfill your cup and pile on the toppings, but be careful.  They charge by the... Read more »

Francis Cardinal George said that it was impossible for two homosexuals to consumate a marriage

Francis Cardinal George said that it was impossible for two homosexuals to consumate a marriage
Cardinal George’s sister, Margaret said that she was surprised that her brother went so quickly.  She said that he, himself thought that he would last longer. Apparently, that wasn’t God’s plan. As civilized folk, we’re loathe to speak ill of the dead.  Instead, we lionize, deify and extoll them. If I’m being pressed for the... Read more »

Religious freedom, voter fraud and the destruction of the American family

Religious freedom, voter fraud and the destruction of the American family
If I was Andy Rooney-I’d be dead.  But if I were him when he was still alive, I  might ask, “Did you ever notice how much time certain people spend fixing problems that don’t exist?” Voter fraud in national elections is virtually non-existent.  It either doesn’t exist or it is so meaningless that it should...

A Jew and Mexican walk into a bar......and one of them walks out mayor of Chicago

A Jew and Mexican walk into a bar......and one of them walks out mayor of Chicago
It’s fun to think about Chicago’s two mayoral candidates being a Jew and Mexican.  It sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it isn’t.  It’s one of the great things about the City of Chicago.  It’s one of the great things about living in America. Even their names are fun.  Chuy and Rahm.  They... Read more »
