Health Care: Should The Debate be a Target of Humor?
In these uncertain times, should we be joking about our future? I made an ''equal-opportunity'' satire called THE DEATH PANEL that satirizes both extremes of the debate. Though, it mainly focuses on lampooning the ''smear-tactics'' being propagated by the extreme on the right. I naturally figured I'd get responses from laughing liberals and ...

Twittering Twits Drive Last Nale into Cofen of Literacy
Is Twitter among the signs of the onrushing Last Days? Were the Ten Commandments tweeted (total wordage less than 140 characters)? Is the wittiest, non-Twittiest observation on the phenomenon to be found on Squidoo? Can I formulate a sentence that isn't a question?

My Favorite Mother's Day
She walked slowly across the room, orange juice sloshing onto the tray, in spite of her efforts not to tilt it. A towel flung over one shoulder, he followed close behind, a small dish balanced precariously in one hand. They stopped at the foot of the bed. ''Now, Shell?'' he asked, in a loud stage whisper.

Idleness as a way of parenting.

I run an award-winning web site for kids, Inkless Tales, at www.inklesstales.com - endorsed by the ALA, the Encyclopedia Britannica, and RIF - heavy hitters - and the site is all designed for learning - but the site is all rigorously tested first.

HELP: I need to get into crime
I'm younger than 24. After having accumulated tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt, I believe my only escape is through a life of crime. I have a college degree and I'm definitely smarter than the drug dealing blacks (do they still do that?...probably) and the Italian guidos (redundant). However, all of my internships were in ...

Cramer vs Jon Stewart
Cramer seems to have forgotten that he did have a rant in, I believe, August of 2007 about the unfolding subprime crisis, and that people should ''look out the window'' and see what was going on. Stewart didn't play that clip. He brought down Crossfire, and now he's targeting CNBC. He got extra irritated, in my opinion, when Rick Santelli didn't ...
