My latest So Here’s The Thing column is up at the Washington Times Communities! This week I’m pondering the dearth of female superheroes and why the female superheroes that we do see are under-dressed: Anyway, I’ve been immersed in the super world of superheroes for a few weeks now and something has really struck me: [...]

My latest So Here’s The Thing column is up at the Washington Times Communities page. This week I take on the forthcoming Leg playsets aimed at girls. I like that they’re less slutty than Bratz. Obviously, what the Lego people are doing is trying to get a foothold in a lucrative segment of the market: [...]

I have a new So Here’s The Thing column up at the Washington Times Communities site! This week I’m waxing profound (snort) about how I haven’t heard ANY kind of holiday greeting so far this year. I’m afraid the Politically Correct war of the Holiday Greetings may be over and the greetings lost. Since then, [...]

I have a new column up over at the Washington Times Communities today! (Amazing that I’m doing any writing at all  given that my son’s desire to be 6 inches from me at all times, including while I clean the bathrooms, is crossing the line into stalker-ish behavior). It’s all about the Elf on the [...]

Y’all knew I had t weigh in on the Kardashian divorce news.  Today’s So Here’s the Thing column over at the Washington Times Communities is all about that weirdness and marriage in general.

Y’all! It’s that time of week again! My new So Here’s the Thing column is up and running at the Washington Times Communities site. This week I’m grouchy that the Westboro Baptist freaks make parents explain homophobia. I also talk about a crush I had on Christian Slater when I was 15. I know there [...]

I have yet another So Here’s The Thing column up at the Washington Times Communities! I’m talking about the new Sarah Palin biography The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin by Joe McGinnis: Like, I say, I’m no Palin apologist. I can tick off half a dozen policy-related reasons not to vote for her [...]

I have a new So Here’s The Thing column up over at the Washington Times Communities! I’m bagging on Kate Gosselin for bagging on people with “regular jobs”: Well. There you have it. Us regular-job types are falling short on providing the best for our kids. Yes, thanks to Kate’s trenchant insight, I realize that [...]

My new So Here’s The Thing column is up over at the Washington Times Communities!It’s all about the “Jesus Harvest Seed” candy I saw last weekend. Never mind the mind-melting comic potential of a product called “Jesus Seeds”, the concept of Bible candy meant to be handed out to kids really, really bothers me. Actually, [...]
