Clean Comedy

Clean Comedy
By Allen Edge

I am still mystified at how people automatically assume that stand-up comedy has to be vulgar and offensive. Have we forgotten Bill Cosby, Flip Wilson, Nipsy Russell, Rodney Dangerfield, Phyllis Diller, and many others? The answer is, obviously, yes.

There was a time when you couldn't even say "But" or "Damn" on network television and yet these giants came to America every week with side splitting stuff that the entire family could enjoy. It did, however, require a l… Continue

Why Isn't The Stimulus Stimulating?

It's no secret that the Obama administration is deeply troubled by the continuing rise in unemployment.
The national unemployment rate has risen to 9.4% from 7.2% in December and 5.5% in May 2008. The number of employed workers has fallen to 132 million from 135 million in December and 137.5 million in May 2008.

Unemployment animates Democrats the way taxes animate Republicans--it's the issue that is important to them above all others. It's also the issue on which the Obama admini… Continue
