All the brouhaha last week about “Joe the Plumber” pretty much said it all.
For the American people, it all gets down to basic plumbing!
As I mulled over the issues, I suddenly recalled an old joke.
This regular “Joe” (no relation to the plumber guy) was on the job one day working around some heavy-duty mechanical equipment [...]

Double-dose of eye-popping Hilton…

George Michael cruises the loo…

“How long have you been a fan?” the high-energy disc jockey asked with infectious enthusiasm.
“Oh, since George was whamming.”
Ha! That conjured up curious images – and memories – as [...]

There was a smattering of talk about charitable acts, a spotlight thrown on shocking A.I.D.S. statistics that reflected there is a growing crisis on these shores, a few ubiquitous references to a political issue, and a round of uplifting live entertainment.
