Do you know what Tax Freedom Day is, besides TODAY, my fellow Uhmericans? If not, here. Nutshell-wise, it’s the first day of the year in which a whole nation has earned enough to fund the national annual tax burden. So basically everything that you’d earned up until today is the governments, and from this day [...]
I read an interesting article this week about a proposed ban on burqas in Belgium, and it raised a lot of questions in my noggin. Which was unexpected, because honestly, burqas are just soooo foreign to me, a woman who likes to do these kinds of things, that my noggin has always just kind of [...]
Oh my GOD. I am so sorry. I really don’t know what got into me this week. For some reason, I just felt like making up a song about our dumb political system and making a video for it.
I didn’t mean for it to be so weird. Or awesome. But it just turned out that [...]
I read somewhere that an obesity epidemic is an indication that an empire, or dominant country or whatever you want to call it, is on a decline.
That got me thinking, wow, there are a ton of fat Americans nowadays. Does this mean that the US is on its way down, too?

I just simply do not [...]
Many people think that, because it SNOWED for a day in FEBRUARY in New York City, global warming is a farce. Most of those people are conspiracy theorists. Some of them are confused. And some of them have high-profile jobs in the media. Unlike me, who just ekes out a living trying to find some [...]
This is my latest piece for RT. Osama Bin Laden is back in the news these days, talking about climate change this and I’m-responsible-for-the-Christmas-Day-bombing-that-failed that. Do you care anymore what this cave-dwelling bearded man has to say? Does anyone? Let’s find out together, in sub-degree weather in Times Square, shall we?
One of the things I like to do on my vaguely-alternative news show here is to try something for the first time, ever, out on camera. Kind of like those dumb reporters who get tazed whenever the police taze someone. I won’t be doing THAT anytime soon!
One thing I had never, ever done until I [...]
