Darts & Laurels: Thursday May 12, 2016

(05/12/16 12:48am)

One of the challenges for us in assigning current events with a dart or a laurel is the fact that there is just so much to talk about. Economies across the globe may be in recession, but we never seem to run short on our supply of ridiculousness. Experts are saying its market value is at an all-time high. So, with all of the ups and downs in recent world news, we’d like to bring you a more international segment: “Dartos y Laurel-schteinem?” We digress.

Welcome back, readers. Welcome home. We hope you enjoyed that little sliver of vacation. How did it come and go so quickly?

Column: How cheap are inexpensive jokes?

(04/04/16 10:54pm)

Readers, I’d like you to know I was followed just yesterday by members of the #StopMichael movement.

No dead horse went unbeaten that day.
