Hahahaha! Keepin' It Real! You Go, FOX News!!

NEWS ITEM LOS ANGELES (AP) — Banter by two Fox News Channel hosts about video showing football player Ray Rice hitting his future wife has come under fire.
The "Fox & Friends" hosts, Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy, made their on-air comments Monday while discussing newly released video showing Rice hitting Janay Palmer in an elevator in February.

Kilmeade said that the lesson to be learned was, in his words, "take the stairs."

Doocy responded that the message is to remember that elevators include cameras.



EDITORIAL: Few things put a broad, belly-tickling smile on my face like two male anchors coming to the chuckling defense of a wife beater. Where else can you find this type of fair and balanced coverage but FOX news?

Live and Learn: A Childhood Memory (Holy Cow, I Think He's Serious!)

When I lost the Pinewood Derby during Cub Scouts, I pouted away like the ten-year-old child I was, throwing out my “losing” model car, which broke off one of the wheels. Later – cue my Catholic guilt - remembering the time and effort my Dad and I put into making it, I pulled it from the trash. Nearly half a century later, this broken model car now rests upon my dresser at home, serving as my daily reminder that, in life, you don’t always get what you want.

Call Me Crazy But...

I don’t think it necessarily makes me a bad person just because I like to visit assisted living facilities and pull the fire alarms.

I'm Shocked! SHOCKED I Tell You!

With California’s recent increase in “personal belief exemptions,” i.e. parents who do not “believe” in the societal health benefits of child vaccinations and who thus request that their child not be vaccinated, scientists – “alarmists” as I like to call them - are now reporting a resurgence of measles across the state, as well as the possibility of outbreaks of other serious diseases.

Granted I'm Agnostic...

… but I must admit my heart is warmed by the notion that, when I finally cross over to the other side, I shall be greeted by deceased relatives. Many of them owe me money.
