Lately, I've been concerned that we're headed for a redux of the Middle Ages. Those times were marked by a dangerous rise in religious devotion coupled with the suppression of reason. They lasted a really long time...Unlike the Dark Ages, where the general populace was kept in the dark because the channel to available knowledge was cut off by those who stood to benefit from an uninformed public

How in the Hell did climate change become a partisan issue? This one's really got me stumped. It would be one thing if the argument was just over whether or not humans have caused climate change. But, it's not. The protests I hear are "Global Warming? Hah! You scientists, with your fancy measuring doo-hickies are trying to tell us what to do!" The protests I hear are actually scoffing at

Hey! I'm back! It took a little while for enough things to piss me off to start writing here again, but I've got plenty of fuel for this fire now...So, first order of business: Why is Tiger Woods taking in on the chin so hard?It's not that I condone Mr. Woods after-hours behavior, because I don't. I just don't understand the inordinate amount of scrutiny he's receiving as a result. I mean,

So, today, one of my coworkers was having a birthday. He's the new guy in the group. He's very young and from southern Illinois, which leads him to believe we're all city sophisticates, as opposed to the uncultured troglodytes we really are. However, we were talking about our favorite restaurants and he brought up Lambert's Cafe, "Home of the Throwed Rolls." This is a real place. Check it out for

So, quite a bit is being made about centrist senators, Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson, being opposed to the Health Care Reform act as it is currently written. Particularly, they'res opposed to a government run option as an alternative to private Health Care firms. What they seem to overlook (in the articles I've read) is that Senator Lieberman is from Connecticut.The reason that's meaningful is

My friend Ed is a fan of American League baseball. I know what you're thinking, but he's actually a nice guy. He just really doesn't understand baseball.Ed's argument is that in an NL game, the pitcher can pitch around the 7 and 8 hitters to get to the pitcher to strike him out. What he doesn't seem to be considering is that there are pitchers who can hit. There should be more of them. The

A few weeks ago, we taught Edison the "Interrupting Cow" knock-knock joke.
