“Behavior leaked from Halloween’s holiday neighbor: Election Day.”

Another snark-filled guest post by the one, the only Will Durst: THE ORANGE AND BLACK Here it comes. Creeping down dark alleys. Overturning garbage cans and spooking black cats. The scariest day of the year. With the exception of your next birthday, that is. Halloween. All Hallow’s Eve. The night preceding All Saint’s Day. Time to carve a gourd. Besides being an excellent excuse to gorge on candy corn and toffee apples it is also an occasion used by many religions to honor deceased relatives by placing lighted candles on the graves of the dead. Probably where that whole ghosts and [...]

Time for Another Stand-Up Political Comedy Blog

“Last Blog Standing” starts riiight….now! Yes, it’s time to steal a few more jokes from my father-in-law (F.I.L.). His blog posts range from political comedy to humorous commentary on pop culture. For those of you who might be new here, he used to write for Alan King, Milton Berle and Jonathan Winters, just to name a few. And all those Dean Martin Roasts, too: Don Rickles, Red Buttons, Phyllis Diller, Sammy Davis, Jr., etc. A tiny respite from all the frustrating events of the day: Another person jumped the White House fence. It looks like MICHELLE OBAMA'S program; "Americans Getting [...]

What if it was called Globola? Or Gunbola?

Sometimes it's not necessary for me to add a word of commentary. I submit to you Exhibit A: "@ArtByAlida: Today's Climate Funny. "What if #climatechange was called Globola?" pic.twitter.com/VGveVW6ce0" LoL @frankejames — Janet Webb (@JanetNorCal) October 24, 2014 Next, directly from the Los Angeles Times letters to the editor, is Exhibit B, because our voices matter: Follman notes that guns kill 30,000 people in the U.S. annually. And nary a peep is heard. Can you imagine if those were 30,000 U.S. deaths from Ebola every year? The roar would be heard from shore to shore. Elizabeth Keranen, Bakersfield

“A minority voter staying home on election day is a vote for a Republican.”

Via one of my favorite Twitter pals ever, Clay Bennett Please read the last part of the following letter twice, and then share it with as many people possible. While you're at it, please vote. And while you're at it squared, please help everyone you can to get to the polls so that they can vote. In other words: Here is today's Los Angeles Times letter to the editor, because our voices matter: What immediately came to mind reading this article was the saying "cut off one's nose to spite one's face." It seems to me that's what the Latinos in [...]
