By Jack Edwards I dream of raising up an army of freedom fighters. A steely-eyed, formidable force to step to the front line. No, not to free a foreign people. No, not to rescue the starving masses. A united, committed group of citizens to enforce a few simple rules upon which I’m sure we can […]
Every city has a major landmark. St. Louis has a giant Arch. San Francisco has the Golden Gate Bridge. And Los Angles has the Smog. The special thing about LA’s landmark is that it cannot only be seen but experienced. This experience alone is reason to visit the City of Angels. And Los Angles is […]
Note: My Jocularious.com column this week takes on a serious subject. The terror of hostage taking. Grab a box of tissues and read further at your emotional risk. Hostage ordeals take a terrible toll on everyone involved. The fear, the uncertainty, the mounting anxiety. Each passing day a nightmare. Don’t think for a moment that […]
By Jack Edwards I have the same question about Obamacare as everyone else. The same overarching question that is (no GOP pun intended) the elephant in the room.

(FDA approved, of course.) If we can be certain of anything, we can be certain that the health of the nation is the number one priority of […]
A monumental problem has perplexed citizens of the United States for three decades. That is, of course, how to find a cup of coffee for under three bucks. But the Starbucks’ racketeering scheme is not the focus of today’s column. Today’s column is about hospital emergency rooms. Let’s begin by breaking down the meaning of […]
I think I speak for everyone when I say that the winter Olympics have become rather humdrum. And I also think I speak for everyone when I say the remedy is to return to the fundamentals of good solid entertainment. And by fundamentals, of course, I mean violence. In fact, with the exception of women’s […]
