Tough words. Still, there’s more to Ratzinger’s retirement than old age and disgrace over sexual abuse scandals. Or is there? First I must say, I am not Catholic and never have been.

Inbox Me Dammit!
The news today says the days of the Post Office are numbered, and that they will end Saturday delivery this summer to save money. One more casualty in the digital rampage.
Special Breaking News Alert Friday Doomsday Notice
This is a special 48 hour notice. Since we know that the world comes to an end on Friday, I have prepared a presentation to be posted at exactly 11:21 a.m. local time, if it is possible, when it is believed this event will occur. I cannot say with certainty exactly what will happen, or […]
Illegal Search And Siezure Of Texts By Law Enforcement
When I first noticed these illegal trends by “law enforcement” several years ago, I thought it was some kind of joke. You know, a training program about important values in our country, like a continuing adult education program. After awhile, the reality sank in deeper and deeper. Big Brother is playing no game. The attack […]
Growing Some Funky Chinese Onions
I would like to say that I truly appreciate the candor of my three subsidiaries: The New York Times (Chinese News Site Cites Onion On Kim Jong Un Piece), The Onion, and The People’s Daily, in further exposing the importance of my work. Satire is an important mechanism whereby intelligent people are challenged to review […]
The Huntsville Times Delivers A Thanksgiving Slap In The Face
Seldom have I seen such an obnoxious sign-off for loyal customers. One thing is for certain, the Huntsville Times print edition is a lame attempt to accomplish nothing more than run interference against any would be competitors who might try to step in and fill the empty space created by the three day print schedule. […]
Onion | Petraeus Weds Broadwell | Terry Jones Officiating | Jill Kelley Asks Threesome
When I started checking references for this column I had in mind something cheeky and gratuitous. The trysts of the rich and famous bore me. Then it got juicy and even more serious than I expected – and cheeky and gratuitous…
Shakin Bakin Debate III
The Bake The Japanese have a concept called the “one hundred years war.” Simply enough, losing a battle does not mean losing the war. When the war is a hundred years long the other wars, like WW II or Viet Nam, are only single battles in the larger scheme. A long term war requires long […]
Biden Paybacks Be Crazy
Biden Puts The Chains on Ryan! Talk about media bias. If you are not aware, I generally watch CBS for news and political information. Not that I always agree with them, I don’t. But I really couldn’t abide a steady dose of an onion breath radish like Martha Radditz – yuck! The bias of which […]
WHERE’S MY DAMN PAPER!
Well. I don’t really react that way since I usually read the complimentary paper at the burger breakfast joint. Usually, it’s just another customer obnoxiously hogging the premium still sitting on his otherwise empty table…
Presidential Reality Check
The reality is, you have been lied to by both major political parties. Understanding what is important in this election depends on understanding what is real, and what is true. The United States economy is in decline. The fact is, since the inevitable lowering of trade barriers decades ago through NAFTA and GATT, jobs in […]
The News Today About Tomorrow
A few weeks ago I published a column discussing the apocalyptic advance of all things digital. The column highlights the recent decision by the Huntsville Times to follow a three day hardcopy publishing schedule beginning sometime this fall. In the column I chastise The Huntsville Times and Al.com for being impetuous in their publishing decisions: […]
