Why the New York Times is Going Broke: Exhibit “A”

August 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment

The following two sentences are taken verbatim from Saturday’s New York Times editorial:
[Tom] DeLay, the Texas Republican who had been the House majority leader, crowed that he had been “found innocent.” But many of Mr. DeLay’s actions remain legal only because lawmakers have chosen not to criminalize them.

This is a stunningly brilliant deduction, don’t you think?
Good Lord!
The only reason the [...]

Bad News for the Planet: Al and Tipper to Separate

June 1st, 2010 · 1 Comment

Al and Tipper Gore have announced they plan to separate after 40 years of marriage.
I hate to hit Al upside the head with an inconvenient truth, but as a result of this separation where there had been only one energy-using household there now will be two.
Al, walk the walk. Reconcile for the sake of the planet.

April 13th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Kim Oahn Thi Tran, also known as Jennifer Kim Tran, was charged in a San Francisco federal court, according to the Associated [...]

The IRS Made Me Hate Mozart

March 19th, 2010 · No Comments

I can forgive the IRS for wrongfully levying my clients’ bank accounts. I can forgive it for denying perfectly reasonable and legitimate settlement offers. I can even forgive it for by-passing my powers of attorney. But I will never forgive it for making me hate the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.¹
Never, I say!
We all know that when you [...]
