Way back in the 90's when Phil Donahue still had a talk show, once he brought on members of the Ku Klux Klan (usually this is Jerry Springer's department). After one of the hooded crusaders got in a few colorful words with some blacks, Hispanics, and Jews in the audience, he attempted to educate...

Your little dig about Asians would make you a RICIST! :)

Barney used to make me nauseous. Right after Jim died, I was afraid that was going to be the end of Sesame Street (after 20 solid years, I'd think, at least it was a good run), and you young'ens would be left with Barney as your generation's PBS mascot. The thing about Barney that made it so...

Ain't that the truth. Hard times can also show what you're really made of, depending on how you handle them. And it does sometimes separate you from people who claim to be your "friends". But real friends will still stick with you. And hard times don't last forever. When things settle down...

If 14 is pronounced fourteen, and 16 is pronounced sixteen, shouldn't 15 be fiveteen? And if there's consistency in logic, wouldn't 12 be twoteen and 13 be threeteen? Find out the whole story tonight on the oneteen o'clock news.

How will they be able to enforce a tax like that? And will all your posts place you in a higher bracket?

There's more than that one famous X-rated blooper. Someone on youtube compiled a ten-minute string of outtakes where in between scenes, they let the cameras roll and the characters had so much fun creating some absolutely hysterical ad-libs. Maybe because they KNEW just how painfully dull the...

Did Obama sign up for Obamacare yet? How successful was he at navigating the website?

There's someone on our block with a display like that. Visible from space.

Gee, what can I say from my generation that was actually annoying or boring? PBS always had a solid block of Sesame, Electric Company , Mr. Rogers, Zoom (1970's version). First-run cartoons on the networks on Saturday morning (although with the exception of the first two seasons of Scooby-Doo...

The death toll continues to rise in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines (3,600 at last count). A year later my state is still picking up the pieces from Sandy. 8 years after the fact Katrina is still a haunting memory in New Orleans. Experts predict more catastrophic storms...

No, there are a few up here where the policy is pay first, eat later. Old Country Buffet, Bonanza, Ponderosa (until the last one went bankrupt) all operate this way. Unless it's a regional difference.

If you went to an all-you-can-eat buffet, you'd pay before you eat. If the place burned down during your meal, I hope you like your steak well-done.

Like I stated earlier, it is what you make of it. It can be a thriving scene or it can be a barren desert. I honestly feel the moderators and everyone actively involved here are trying to keep it as relevant as possible, and maintain a level where newcomers can feel welcome (hopefully) and...

The two most depressing, slit-wrist-inducing songs ever, by two artists whose other work I totally admire: 1. "Captain Jack"- Billy Joel 2. "Down By the River"- Neil Young If you're not having a good day, and your hear either of these songs, don't have a razor blade anywhere near you!!!

There's one other clip in this series of a man with an umbrella, happy that he's dry while others run for cover in the rain. Then a car drives by and drenches him, "Now I'm wet, too!". This one even had music scored to it, and the voiceover actor doing a pretty hideous Peter Lorre imitation.

George Carlin said it best about this country and guns, circa 1988: "Now they're doing everything to ban toy guns, ... AND THEY'RE GONNA KEEP THE FRIGGIN' REAL ONES!!!"

Where I work, a number of residents were veterans of WWII and Korea, and I'm thankful for the sacrifices they made. A few kids on our staff just got back from being deployed overseas, and I'm thankful for their service as well.

Why is it when you say "This person has an attitude", or "That person copped an attitude", the attitude is always negative? Personally, I'd always like to have Jim's attitude.

I saw Cory's handiwork earlier, but you beat me to the punch. At the very least, he's progressed beyond his one-word replies he usually leaves on youtube, And You Have To Give Kudos To Someone Who Capitalizes Every Word With Such Panache.
