The Right Wing’s Secret Weapon
Liberal/Progressives have been the “all-or-nothing” guys of the DNC, often with unexpected results.
Happy Trumpers
Despite, or because of, the endless scandals, tweetstorms, questionable policies, Kim Jung Un, and mispronunciations, the President’s base has stuck with him. We spoke with a few of them to try and figure out why.
Revised 7 Habits of Effective People
After almost three decades, this seminal work on personal development is updated for modern times.
Saint Muffy of the Short Hills Mall
A Holy Woman for Our Times. Recently the Vatican reported that its Committee for Sainthood (Il Committate di Santorini Novi) had been inundated with thousands of emails, texts, and tweets, a handful of letters and a phone call from someone named Bambi, attesting to the miraculous events surrounding a New Jersey woman. Her name is Monica Bradford-Lehman, but she is better known as Saint Muffy of the Mall.
Hail to Thee Inhalers
Michael Weston, super spy star of the TV Show “Burn Notice” is going undercover as a wimpy, introverted office worker—in contrast to his usual two-fisted, virile self. To drive home the point, he occasionally takes a puff or two from an Asthma Inhaler. While Inhalers have become a universal punchline, if you have asthma, they’re your lifeline and much more.
From Boys to Guys
Next time you’re out to dinner, take a good look at the young couples seated near you. In many cases, the woman has clearly given some thought to her appearance, with clothes, hair, and make-up all pulled together. But the guy she’s with is another story. More often than not, except for the irregular facial hair, he’s dressed like a toddler—backward baseball cap, t-shirt or sports jersey, shorts or sweat pants, sneakers with no socks, or worse, sandals with no socks.
The Curse of Sports Talk Media
The last time I was at Citi Field, the game started with a close play at first. The Mets’ first baseman ranged far to his right, away from the bag, to field a sharply hit grounder. He tossed it to pitch who had run over to cover first. The throw was off target, so the pitcher had to stretch to make the catch, badly tearing his hamstrings.
The House on the Lake
The Summer we lost our innocence, and the car keys. [ An excerpt from the highly anticipated memoir by Harper Wong-Goldman-Echevarria-Smythe III.] Father turned the chestnut brown, ’79 Chevy Malibu family station wagon off of Rte 507 North onto the gravel-covered driveway, marked by the dogwoods uncle Joe planted by way of apology to Aunt Mini. They stood thin and tall, much like the breadsticks at a very good Italian Restaurant, the kind that has cloth napkins and doesn’t serve pizza—well maybe the individual pan pizza, but not slices, slices are tacky.
Why Can’t Government Be Run Like a Business?
As long as I can remember, budget-conscious Conservative has been promoting the idea that “government should be run more like a business.” That Washington is rife with waste and inefficiency, that a bloated national budget, and a preponderance of regulatory red tape, are choking economic growth and stifling progress. If only…
Government Interference
Government Interference Big Business Unchanged Scene: A standard TV panel discussion. Three panelists and a moderator, all seated in front of a backdrop of logos. The three panelists are older, gray-haired men in expensive suits, sort of like Stadler and Waldorf, the two...
Kristen Gillibrand Made Me Uncomfortable
The room we were in was small, tiny. She was in my face the whole time. It was impossible to avoid her gaze, as she continued to maintaining eye contact with me the entire time, I felt like my personal space was being invaded. I swear she even winked at me once or twice. It might have been a twitch, the pollen count was pretty high that day. Still, it looked like a wink to me.

Howard Schultz Must Be Stopped!
Don’t let him do to the USA what he did to coffee. Howard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks, is running for President in 2020 as an independent. The erstwhile coffee Czar claims that the two major parties are basically the same and that the American people are yearning for a champion who can end the gridlock, unite the country and “get things done.” And that champion just happens to be him.
