It's OK Adolf, honey, the court says so
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody? A New Jersey appeals court ruled Tuesday that a family didn't commit child abuse by naming their baby boy after Adolf Hitler.

President Obama made new rules ...
The way Halloween should be celebrated
Not until it got dark! That was the trick-or-treating rule my mother set down every year. She didn't want me to embarrass her by interrupting families still having dinner. I hated the rule. Tommy Gillen and I had big plans to hit as many houses as possible before we had to come home. It was the 1970s, after all. Schools weren't yet banning Halloween activities. There was no kid obesity epidemic. There weren't many modern ...

Fill your hands, you dictator, you
BEVERLY HILLS - God bless America, and how's everybody? President Obama announced that Moammar Kadaffi had been killed by U.S.-backed rebel forces in Libya Thursday. You knew it was coming.

Cain turns heads in Vegas
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody? The GOP presidential candidates clashed in Las Vegas Tuesday in a debate that aired on CNN.

This should be considered abuse

Prepare for the violence
Prepare for violence. We remember this crowd. The year was 1999 and the anarchists descended on Seattle to stop a meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO). We lived there at the time. Floyd was working as a host at Hot Talk 570 KVI, located in downtown near the "peaceful protests" of the meeting of WTO ministers. Seattle was excited because it was an opportunity to show the new high tech Seattle of the 1990's ...
Now he sends us into Uganda
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody? President Obama sent 100 U.S. combat troops to Uganda Friday to help Uganda repel Christian rebels. It came as a shock to Americans.

America needs Solidarity
Love demands candor. Today, America is marred by growing inequality, constricting opportunity, and increasing social alienation. We are haunted by anxiety and insecurity about the future. And we have become so atomized that we often feel powerless to do anything meaningful about it - a perception that gives rise to growing despair and desperation. Some on the right and the left have taken to the streets in protest. Despite their many differences, they share a ...
Welcome back to the Nixon administration
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody? Attorney General Eric Holder was criticized over Operation Fast and Furious Tuesday. The ATF deliberately sold guns to drug dealers. The guns are needed because of the drug trade, and the drug trade is needed because no one can make a living doing anything legal.

Will Obama Beat the 6-Year Itch?
If the 2010 elections weren't bad enough for Democrats, here comes the "six-year itch." With the exception of Bill Clinton's second term, the party that controls the White House loses seats in congress six years into a presidency. But there's a gathering sense among Democratic consultants who work on congressional campaigns that their party could buck the trend in 2014 for a number of reasons, not least because Barack Obama is finally fired up and ...

Droning On
Put on your tinfoil hats everybody. Or didn't you get the memo? Its paranoia time in America again. Maybe it's the spring that brings out the crazy in our legislators. Of course, that would assume a semblance of sanity the other three seasons, and nobody wants to bet anything more than lunch money on that proposition.
FCC Must Run Honest Auctions
"America's global leadership in mobile, and the strategic bandwidth advantage so many have worked hard to create, is being threatened by the looming spectrum crunch," recently departed Federal Communications (FCC) Chairman Julius Genachowski said.
