Think of The Children!

Many parents are outraged that President Barack Obama will soon be speaking directly to their children at schools via a “magic picture box” called TV.

Some parents are so upset, they are keeping their children out of school to avoid the political nature of Obama’s speech. Who could blame them?

Hard Rock

I walked into a cell in cellblock D and saw a small hole in the wall between the cot and the toilet. I caught a glimpse of yellow paper and reached in. It was some handwritten notes, memoirs of an unknown prisoner about his Alcatraz experience. I quickly tucked the papers into my pocket since extracting anything from a national park is probably illegal (that didn’t stop me from stealing a sequoia at Muir Woods). I reprint the entire content here in the interest of exposing the horrors of life in Alcatraz prison.

Economic Meltdown Made Simple

The economy’s ugly and it’s hurting a lot of people. Political pundits point fingers and flap their yaps endlessly about who is at fault. Not to worry, there’s plenty of blame to go around.
