Bill Maher hits the nail on the head--again: Last week I asked: If it solved global warming, would you give up the TV remote and go back to carting your fat ass over to the television set every time you wanted to change the channel. If that was the case…
Today’s topic is high heeled shoes. Why do women wear the damned things, I sometimes wonder. Those women wobble around, they take longer to get from here to there, they often trip on small sidewalk imperfections, and they regularly fall and get hurt.
I will confess: my gut reaction is that a woman’s IQ relates inversely to whether that woman tends to wear accident-inducing high heeled shoes. I think of women who flock to such shoes as women who aspire to become Barbies or Princesses. Before you write a comment to protest, I realize that my gut feeling is a gross over-simplification.

Some, like Paul Wolfowitz (George W.'s former Deputy Secretary of Defense), go on to create their own corrupt, nepotism-ridden administrations. While investigating Wolfowitz's resume, I came upon a particularly frightening neo-con organization called the "Project for the New American Century,"…
President Bush has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of the 33 people killed this week at Virginia Tech. So, here's my question: why hasn't he ordered flags to be flown at half-staff every day, in honor of the U.S. (and coalition) soldiers who die every day in Iraq?
In an earlier post, I wondered how God is going to entertain his followers up in heaven for all eternity, especially those who enjoy the less ethereal forms of entertainment (like jet skis). Now, my question is about hygiene. I occasionally look after my neighbor's two dogs. Recently, after walking…
