It is not a religious belief that life begins at conception. It is a scientific belief. When sperm meets egg, all the DNA is there and a new life begins. Maybe someday if a woman does not want to carry her child, the baby can be removed from her body and raised in an artificial womb. Then everybody will be happy.


A baby is first considered a dependent on your tax form when that baby is first dependent on you to buy and change its diaper. A baby’s birthday is always celebrated on the day of birth. You just need to know the meaning of the words “dependent” and “birthday.”


CNN is no longer a news network. It is now 90 percent politics, 5 percent news and 5 percent entertainment news. A recent prime-time guest was overexposed actor Alec Baldwin. With our country experiencing its hardest times since the Great Depression, wouldn’t that be a much bigger story?


Somewhere between MSNBC and Fox News we can find the truth.


Mitt Romney has shown his tax returns and income. Has Newt Gingrich? I mean including the millions he has received from insurance companies.


The Republican establishment doesn’t like Newt Gingrich. I don’t like the Republican establishment. I’m a Republican. Therefore, Newt Gingrich is my choice. Thanks for narrowing the field for me, “establishment.” It was greatly appreciated.


Gingrich says Ron Paul’s ideas are too out there. Then Gingrich says we’re all going to the moon in 2020. Yikes.


I know Donald Trump gives all kinds of money to the Republican Party, but does that have to include giving lessons in how to lacquer your hair in one place to Callista Gingrich?


Rich people get rich because they’re better at it than we are. If we take away their money, they will just find another way or place to make money. Did you expect a poor person to give you a job?


The supply-side deniers are still waiting for Obama’s stimulus (aka extreme deficit spending) to ignite a robust economy. They put their faith in Ben Bernanke’s “quantitative easing.” What round are we up to now – QE17? I’ve lost track.


We’ve done the alternative minimum tax already, and it’s catching taxpayers who weren’t intended to be caught with it. Now Obama wants another AMT layer on top of this one. Taxes are complicated enough. Switch to the Fair Tax.


All the praise and admiration for the killing of Osama bin Laden and the rescue of hostages in Somalia should be extended to our U.S. military alone. Obama only gave the green light to these operations to try to bolster his re-election campaign. His record is so dismal, he desperately needs something positive to try to take credit for.


“The Artist” is a delightful movie – funny, sad, nothing to offend anyone. Yet some people won’t see it because it’s silent and in black and white.


The people who use four-letter words to express themselves are dumb, and their vocabulary is very limited.


A citywide hummus tax would probably fund the state government.


You can’t get a simple question answered without having to pay a fee.
