I hope anyone reading right now does not judge the content of this article based on the first paragraph, just as you may have inappropriately judged Rolling Stone by its cover. Mayor Menino's letter to Rolling Stone missed the point entirely. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pictured on the cover of the magazine does...

Update, July 14, 2013: Zimmerman was found not guilty. What good does the media do for justice when its goal is to incite emotion? I have tried to keep my mind away from the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case. My hapless hope was that the media would follow suit, and in doing so justice would...

It was recently revealed by Eric Snowden that the National Security Agency (NSA) has has spied on Americans and foreigners. He acts as if this is groundbreaking, classified intel to Americans, but if you had a sniff of common sense or didn't have your head up your ass, this was never news to you. What...

Like a fine cheese, a racist southern woman becomes more pungent over time, but what's with all the hoopla surrounding Paula Deen?

At least the hobo isn't deceiving me; it's clear that he'll use that money for a lottery ticket, a pack of cigarettes, a sandwich, or some alcohol. Regardless of what the hobo chooses to spend his money on, I have an understanding...

I am in full support of Gays in their fight for equality and insulted by the conservatives' attitude in regards to Gay marriage - as if proliferating equality is a nuisance to them. But I never understood the logic of a Gay parade. I actually find it overly arrogant and anal - no pun....

In the past I'd get asked about it weekly. Friends would remind me of this sad moment redundantly, albeit in jest. It was as pleasant a topic to discuss as that time you accidentally found your mother's dildo, but I'd laugh it off and pretend it didn't phase me. For about three years, this bet haunted...

Although my wife is boasting on Facebook about buying Sleeping Beauty, I'm the one who came up with the idea and ordered it from Amazon. Albeit a feminine purchase, it's one of the true Disney classics. Before the new-school Aladdin and The Lion King came along, it was animated movies like Lady and the Tramp...

Jewish people have tried to settle in a territory - any territory - for thousands of years. But for just as long, Jews have been forced, beaten, and terrorized into leaving - be it Europe or Israel. About 29 years ago, my father, who was tired from the stress of war, relinquished his trust in the security...
