Welcome to the New Year and a new National Debt - $14 trillion dollars. Be you Republican or Democrat, contact your representative and senators and let them know that this is not acceptable. The US credit card limit is killing us, our kids, our grandkids, and so on. $10 trillion in deficit spending in a decade. $5 trillion since the Democrats took the congress and $3 trillion in the past 2 years; plenty of blame to go around. It's a bipartisan problem and it needs to be addressed.

Happy New Year to my loyal readers, listeners and viewers! I may have been in New Jersey for the start of the new year, but unlike Snooki from MTV's Jersey Shore, I was not enshrined in a 'Snooki ball' when the clock struck 12 midnight. Thanks for your support. 2011 is going to be a heckuva ride!
12.23.2010 – Thursday’s Show
The last show of 2010 is in the digital can. Congress left town (some members, for good.) The President is on vacation in Hawaii. The media is catching up on some sleep. I guess that means I can call it quits for 2010 too. It has been one heckuva year. Time to clear my head, do some errands and rest up for New Year's. I would like to thank all of my readers, listsners and viewers for the support this year and always. I wish you the merriest of Christmases, happiest of holidays and a joyful and healthy New Year. I'll see you soon!

You are looking at an organic farm. Take a good look because it may be regulated out of existence. The Food Safety and Modernization Act which passed the Senate and the House give unpresidented power to the Food and Drug Administration to shut down any farm or food provider it deems unfit. All for public safety, of course. Just as the Credit Reform gave powers to the Fed to seize banks it felt were systemic risks to the economy, now the Food Police is ready to ban foods at will. Aren't you glad they already made you give up trans fats?

Last night, we were treated to a celestial show with an awesome, rare lunar eclipse to usher in the Winter season. It's the first time in 456 years that an eclipse occurred on the Winter Solstice. As a Cancerian, whose planet is the Moon, I have always taken a keen interest in all lunar happenings. And, ah - no, I am not a lunatic. And I won't snap out of it either!

An Inconvenient Affair
As posted on Parcbench 15 June 2010 It was just reported by Star Magazine that Al Gore has been in an affair with Laurie David, activist and producer of the documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. For almost 2 years, I have been blogging and webcasting about the world of politics, news, political correctness and the like. My original premise was ‘no food for fuel’ as I wanted to illustrate...

Art Linkletter Passes On Before Hosting SNL
As posted at Parcbench on 27 May 2010 Television icon Art Linkletter died on Wednesday at 97 after years of spoiling thousands of dead pools. His early TV popularity dates back to the the mid-1950′s with the show People Are Funny. As a child in the 60′s, I first remember seeing Linkletter in House Party; he seemed old back then too, but was always funny and had this grandpa-type warmth... [Read more]
NY/NJ to host ‘The Chilly Bowl’
As posted at Parcbench on 25 May 2010 Hell has frozen over. Or at least, East Rutherford New Jersey has. In February 2014, the site of the Super Bowl will be played in the shadow of New York City. The NFL owners voted today to award the Giants & Jets new home the half-billion dollar bonanza. Today’s New York Post called it The Chilly Bowl, rightfully so, because it will be the first Super...

The Audacity of the Tech Savvy
As posted at Parcbench on 13 May 2010 As a person who has spent over 30 years in the Information Technology circles, I am quite pleased to see that the use of technology has exploded since I took my first COBOL class. (For those too young to know what I am talking about, Google it!) See what I mean? Kids under 25 said in a recent poll that it is more important to gather information that actually... [Read more]
The Revolution Will Be Televised
As published on 27 March 2010 on Parcbench Earlier this month, I started this article. I was going to write some piece about me being all pissed off on the latest threat by New York Nanny State: have restaurants stop adding salt to their cooking. Yep, the food police were inside of my booth at Sardi’s. The specter of Healthcare Passed was raising the government do-gooder fever pitch. Chefs... [Read more]
‘What Exit?’ and Jersey Toll Collector Road Rage
As published at Parcbench on 3 March 2010 While thumbing through my list of sites for show prep today, I came across an article on The Smoking Gun which immediately commanded my attention: Toll collector road rage. New Jersey has been the butt-end of jokes since the days of Peter Stuyvesant and New Amsterdam. Whether it’s Jimmy Hoffa resting eternally in the end zone of the soon-to-be-razed Giants...

Tiger: By the Tale
As posted at Parcbench on 19 February 2010 The hour had come – 11am Eastern. The focus was on a lone podium with an audience of family and friends, but no reporters. I was stiffing my bias and the questions that whirled around my mind: Will Elin be there? Will he be contrite or combative? Will he walk out after his statement on the mend or a forever-broken man? All this week, the media pondered... [Read more]
Pam Tebow, Pro Choice
As published at Parcbench on 30 January 2010 On Super Bowl Sunday, CBS has decided to air a commercial produced by the pro-life group, Focus on Family, featuring Pam Tebow, mother of Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. Working as a missionary with her family in the Phillipines in the mid-1980’s, Mrs. Tebow fell into a coma after contracting amoebic dysentery. The strong drug regimen used to treat her... [Read more]
Deity Death Match
As published on Parcbench on 15 January 2009 When I was a kid, there was a term used to describe a natural disaster. It was called an “Act of God”. As the good parochial school boy I was, the terminology didn’t coincide with my religious teachings. After all, God was one angry guy in the Old Testament. Floods. Fires. Locusts. Lot’s wife. Truly, when there was a natural disaster,... [Read more]
Merry Christmas From Uncle B.O.
While many were opening their presents on Christmas, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac received their own Secret Santa presents from uncle B.O. – a couple of blank checks. (h/t Ed Morrissey, Hot Air) While we were celebrating, the administration was calculating the best time to sign the executive orders allowing the money-sucking GSA’s to receive money above their $200 billion cap. And they... [Read more]
F*** the Vote
As posted on Parcbench on 23 December 2009 Eva Amurri and Zach Gilford have a novel idea on how the youth of America can persuade people to support the monstrosity know as the healthcare bill: withhold sex. The young Deluded Duo appears on the RockTheVote.com website to appeal for governmental healthcare to pass. In a cheap knock-off of the Hollyweird’s Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher’s “I Pledge”...

Al Gore’s Year in Review
As published on Parcbench on 23 December 2009 On my radio show, one of my favorite topics is global warming. I have long argued that while the earth may have warmed over the past 35 years, mankind is not the de facto cause. In fact, some of the sampling may suggest that the recent peak temperatures may have been in 1998. America’s own eco-avenger is obviously the former Vice-president, Al Gore.... [Read more]
George Stephanopoulos – The (New) Manchurian Candidate
As published on Parcbench on 15 December 2009 Before our eyes, we are watching the rise of the latest Manchurian Candidate: George Stephanopoulos. By taking his new job at Good Morning America from Diane Sawyer, Stephanopoulos inches closer to his Extreme Media Makover. You have smart, educated, young idealist named George, son of a Greek Orthodox priest. Cherub-face, wide smile and handsome looks... [Read more]
