So we’re a bit perplexed that Hassan Nasrallah, the supposed leader of Hezbollah, who is patiently but effectively destroying his country, is being hailed as a hero at home and in much of the Middle East.

The Final Justification For Pleasure By : Wayne Mitchell - Chocolate is a Vegetable: Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Beans = vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both are plants, which place them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable. To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is a dairy product. So candy bars are a health food. Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. If... A Deep Look At Soap Operas By : Randall Ulbricht - You have got to love soap operas.

Diving For Treasure In My Own Living Room By : Ruth Mitchell - So, time arrived for replacing the living room furniture. Grandpa and I had our same sofa, loveseat, extra chair, tables, and lamps from our thirty-five years of marriage. Still leaning toward denial, we agreed blue remains our favorite color, not one person has fallen all the way to the floor in our chair yet, and parts of the lampshades still block the view of the bare GE 100 watt lightbulbs. Besides, right before the delivery men appeared at my fingerprint-smudged storm do... Israeli-Hezbollah Conflict Moves To Center Stage; Insurgents In Iraq Strike Back By : Tom Attea - Pity the neglected insurgents in Iraq. Since the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict has taken center stage in the ongoing tragedy called The Triumph Over Terrorism, the war in Iraq has been relegated, even if briefly, to the wings. Obviously, the insurgents in what was once, perhaps, a nation, though subjugated by murderous tyranny, had grown used to their starring role on the world’s overly troubled stage, as the leading villains in the unfortunate tale.

A Humorous Look At A Working Mom’s Life In A Bag… By : Melanie Bocock - As a business owner and mom, I regularly commute between my home office and a rented office space.

By : Tom Attea - In the wake of the sudden death of its now fragmented leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Al-Qaeda in Iraq polled its somewhat shaken members about who would like to take over Mr. Zarqawi’s job. After a determined effort, the group was able to find a terrorist who, though expressing understandable reluctance, was eventually persuaded to accept the expectedly short-lived position. The usual amateurish Webcast was quickly arranged, and the new leader, flanked by other terrorists w...

Relaxed And Happy American Located; Agrees To Brief Interview By : Tom Attea - Despite the troubling news that assails us each day and seems bent on convincing us we should all be the tense and unhappy recipients of the worldwide outrages it forwards, we remained confident that maybe somewhere there is still at least one American who is relaxed and happy.

Bin Laden Sighted In Karachi; May Turn Self In By : Tom Attea - Reports of Osama Bin Laden’s whereabouts took a new turn this week when a Pakistani woman reported sighting a tall man in a white robe with matching turban hit his head on a low doorway.

Jimmy Hoffa Continues To Evade FBI By : Tom Attea - As the FBI, operating on a tip from a prisoner who reported witnessing suspicious activity on the night of Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance, continued to search for the former teamster leader, he was somehow still able to evade capture.

It remains to be revealed who the Catholic Church will designate to defend its historical foundation. Should we flinch from such a touchy subject and leave you to your own puzzlements? No, dear reader, rest assured tha... Europeans Press Iran; Present Cartoon Of Bombs Dropping On Nuclear Plants By : Tom Attea - European negotiators, intent on reaching a peaceful agreement with Iran about its controversial nuclear program, resorted to a tactic that has recently proven to be the most reliable way to elicit a response in much of the Muslim world.

Happy Trails, America! But Where Are They? By : Tom Attea - Judging by the current national sentiment, Uncle Sam has once again wandered off the happy trails on which we’d prefer him to ride. But can we, just the usual joshing sidekick, possibly help him wend his way back through the tumbleweeds? Well, at least, we can give it a go. To begin, let's ask how the most sagely free and prosperous nation can often wander so distressingly far from the path on which we may find the preconditions of contentment, including the wide laudation... Come Out With Your Checkbook Open By : Tom Attea - Joey, daring the spotlights that were scanning the warehouse in which he was holed up, took a quick look out the window at the crowd below, and shouted, “Never, you dirty, rotten bill collectors!” Then he ducked back to the haven beneath the sill. He recently got more into debt than usual – in fact, he found himself surrounded by it – and he was having a restless dream about the multitude of bill collectors who were haunting his mind. Being an old movie buff with smiling m... Movie Stars As Sources Of Wisdom By : Tom Attea - Why do many people look to movie stars for answers to some of life's most challenging questions? While we have great respect for the art of acting, as explicated from Stanislavsky to Strasberg, the latter of whom we knew well and were fond of, we have never understood how the usual snippets who decide to become actors ascend in the minds of the public from being initially generally regarded as likely ne’er-do-wells to being considered the most readily available font of ins...

We looked into the matter and discovered that the word “illegal” is not in the S...

Bin Laden Releases Another Audiotape: Hideout Too Dark For Video By : Tom Attea - Apparently, unable to contain his enthusiasm for bumming out the relatively nice and unsuspecting folks who make up much of the Western World, the misinformed medievalist has released another drearily threatening audiotape. Since the combined political, military, and intelligence resources of the civilized world cannot locate the potato head, we suggest the audiotape be taken as an opportunity to arrest him. Here's how.

Into Fuel By : Tom Attea - While America is experiencing a gasoline shortage, the nation’s dependence on foreign oil is about to end. A researcher at The Department of Energy, from which breakthrough ideas emanate on a regular basis, noticed that Americans, along with most people who ever lived, have a virtually unlimited and renewable supply of B.

And neither will I!” Proud words, perhap...

Saddam Hussein Seeks Mcdonald's Francise By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com - Saddam Hussein, in his latest bid to escape execution for crimes against his own people, has applied to McDonald’s for a franchise.

In his application, Hussein states that he has a great deal of fast-food experience from his months on the run. He also states that, if granted the franchise, he will cease an... The Illogical Puppet Of Iran: Any Chance Of Getting The Little Guy A Better Script? By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com - First, we learned to say and spell the puppet’s name: Armadinejad. Not exactly Smith. Then we watched him perform upon a crafty mullah’s knee. We have been patient, like any fair-minded audience, but the more we listen, the more we realize that the puppet has a script that just doesn’t make sense. He raises one hand and, without the mullah appearing to move his own lips, practiced ventriloquist that he is, little Armadinejad threatens to “wipe Israel off the map” and blust...

Senior Ticked For Walking Too Slow; Others Try Roller Skates By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com - An 82-year-old woman was recently issued a ticket in California for crossing a street too slowly. A police officer, who arrived on a motorcycle, told her she was obstructing traffic – and issued her a summons for $114. Responding to the uproar caused by the curious traffic ticket, the municipality has begun to wonder if it should work out ways to help seniors cross streets without fear of incurring a penalty.
