I watched the flag pass by one day. It fluttered in the breeze. A young Marine saluted it, And then he stood at ease. I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud, With hair cut square and eyes alert He’d stand out in any crowd. I thought how many men like [...]

I know you have heard of Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown Law School student who recently testified to members of congress about the subject of birth control. She has been a prominent media fixture this week as a figure of public mockery and an example of the “sexism” of the Republican party. To be clear, I [...]

My brother in law, who goes to USC, contracted mumps. Which was crazy to me because isn’t mumps a rather obscure disease? I mean, didn’t it kind of go extinct in the 1950’s? According to my pediatrician, an outbreak of mumps has occurred in Downtown Los Angeles. Upon further research, I have found that an [...]

For over twenty years a group of people have ruled our lives. These people have told us how to act, what to say, and even what to think. They are a group of people known as “The Professionally Offended”. The Professionally Offended have had so much power over all of us, all they had to [...]

As you my loyal fans may know, I have really bad taste in television. I love to watch the worst, most brain dead stuff. Now that I’m pregnant, it’s gotten worse. I’m the only person in the world excited to see the new Adam Sandler movie, Jack and Jill. I have not gone so far [...]

On Wednesday Apple CEO Steve Jobs died. When I learned of his death, I immediately burst into tears. For him and his family, of course but also for me: he has done so much to make our lives better. I am not a person who ever understood computers. I am horrible with them and am [...]

9-22-2011 The Malibu High School football field needs lights for night games. There should be no controversy about that: after all, who wouldn’t want their kids occupied with wholesome school based activities that parents and school officials participate in on Friday nights? Currently, they only play afternoon games and most parents can’t watch their kids [...]

I have to say that I really admire the California legislature. I really do. I am in total awe of the imagination it takes them to find ways to get crazier and crazier but they have managed to outdo themselves yet again. There is a bill pending in the senate now dubbed “the babysitter bill”. [...]

I recently had a daughter and one thing that struck me was the profound responsibility of naming her. I know how deeply a name can affect one’s life: my family has never been talented in the naming department. I come from a long line of people with names that constantly have to be explained. My grandfather’s [...]

The Democrats are predictably politicizing the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Even more predictably, they are using it as an opportunity to jump on George W. Bush. I’m not surprised: These are people who politicize light bulbs and would blame the former president for Cancer and Rebecca Black’s song “Friday” if they could. I am [...]
