As Congressmen on both sides of the aisle continue to debate over the best way to completely abandon the gun control question without looking like careerist cowards, the issue of guns in America continues to be at the forefront of people’s minds, on all sides of the issue. But for today let’s turn our attention, […]

I was going to do a “Fiscal Cliff” caption contest this week – and maybe I have in a roundabout metaphorical way – but all the photos of politicians with solemn “concerny” faces and stern “blamy” faces was giving me a headache, so I went a different way.  Take a moment and hit us with […]

Last week’s caption contest had a lot of great entries.
