I wish somebody had only told me that if I wanted to sleep with a Secret Service Agent, all I needed to do was become a prostitute in Colombia and drink Whiskey.

Ay caramba! I could have dealt with that.

Someone please shoot me now with one of the large… Read full post »

As a mother who has worked both inside and out of the home,  I can say that without a doubt,  working outside of the home has felt like a Club Med vacation when compared to staying home with my daughters.

This is not to say that I have "terrible children" or that… Read full post »

Poor helpless Lamar Odom, yet another grown male whose career is failing at the fault of his wife.  How original!   In this case the vicious vixen is none other than a Kardash Queen whose backcourt is almost as fine as her X-rated sister's.

Yes, Mr. Rush Limbaugh, I will admit publicly that I have engaged in the most immoral of human depravities by engaging in the practice of using contraception so that I would not bring an unwanted child into the world. But I must warn you however that I do not mind if… Read full post »

There is nothing wrong or immoral with being a successful business owner and millionaire like Governor Mitt Romney, a dream many Americans would eagerly choose if given the chance.

There is also nothing sinister about being a Harvard and Columbia scholar and Ivy school elite like President Barack Oba/… Read full post »

While most Americans think back on the attack of Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy more than 70 years ago,  they are immediately filled with feelings of unspeakable horror and justifiable anger about the infamous day that changed the United States forever.

This was a surprise attack on… Read full post »

I’m confused, is Herman Cain a member of The National Rifle Association or The National Restaurant Association?

Aren’t you annoyed that the media establishment only refers to the NRA when they report all of these numerous allegations of sexual harassment?

Thousands of boys . . . too young

To drink hot alcohol in winter

Or cool beers in Indian summers

Die 

Boys who only a summer before had been

Playing basketball and mowing dewed grass

Sun-kissed and sweaty

That sweet sweat only a young man can boast

And… Read full post »

Until I was about four, I thought my first name was "Shuddup."

No kidding, and what's worse . . .  I learned to like it.

I'll never forget the sound of kids laughing at me at a Los Angeles playground when I told them 'Shuddup' was my name.

And this… Read full post »

I am just waiting for "The Donald" to demand to see a copy of Osama Bin Laden's Death Certificate. Now that would only be fair. 

If a "live"  sitting president of our fair country was bullied into showing his Birth Certficate, why doesn't  Trump demand the see the Death C… Read full post »

No one should care if Donald Trump "ever" shows us his tax records as he originally promised since President Obama finally showed us his Birth Certificate. 

What have we become-- a nation of grammar school kids playing "You show me yours and I'll show you mine?"

If you can recall the famous phrase during the 1960's Peace and Love generation "Never trust anyone over thirty," or were too stoned to remember, then health care reform is your new cause; and not to be fought with peace, but with total radical activism ... that is, if you want… Read full post »

Even feminist Gloria Steinem said, "Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father."

Fathers matter more than ever, and anyone who doubts their importance has inevitably endured life without one.

One of the greatest lessons a child can learn in order to grow into a healthy and happy adult is that they are indeed not the center of the universe, whether it be the universe of their parents, or that of their own making.

A generation ago, children felt loved and… Read full post »

It's that special time of the year again when my family will gather around the menorah while simultaneously being reminded to take off our shoes and yelled at to start the rice.
