The Question I’d Ask The Candidates
The Question I’d Ask The Candidates
55 years ago this month, in the final days of his time in office, President Eisenhower warned our country and our citizens about the increasing power of the military-industrial complex:
The Water Issue
The Water Issue
So I think I have finally figured out what the major political issue of our time is that no one is talking about. It’s water. Now I know you are thinking “Ira has gone off the deep end (pun intended) on this one” but hear me out.

I’m Not Agreeing with Donald Trump But…
…he’s not entirely wrong when it comes to the Bushes. Last week The Donald correctly pointed out that the World Trade Center attack occurred during the Presidency of George W. Bush. Score 1 point for The Donald.

One of the basic rights that many Americans hold so dear is the freedom of religion. It’s right there in The Constitution, along with a bunch of other freedoms woven into the fabric of the American Way. Of course, every once in-a-while the

In today’s over the top, everything is for sale, your name here marketing environment, I was thinking it would be fun to see what sponsor would fit some of the presidential candidates. Some are obvious and others may

Trains Trains Go Away
I grew up on the Port Washington line of the Long Island Railroad. Far and away the best train line in the NY metro area. The local was 33 minutes, the express 23. No change in Jamaica, frequent service, and not a whole lot of problems – from what I remember…but it’s been a very long time since I last rode the LIRR on a regular basis.

Getting High On Religious Freedom
You had to know this was coming or at least you had to hope this was coming, just for the potential chaos. Personally, I thought it was going to be bunch of Rastafarians trying to pull this off but it looks like someone beat them to it. Indiana’s Freedom of Religion Act has given rise to a new church – The First Church of Cannabis, Inc.

Religiou$ Freedom Daze
There’s some serious shit going down in Indiana the past week or so. Let’s see if we can’t boil this down to what it really is, and I’m pretty sure no one really knows that this really is but this is just one possibility of what it really is (or is not).
The Idiot Tax
I think I’ve come up with a new type of tax that even the most flaming far right conservative republican can get behind. It’s called The Idiot Tax and yesterday in Toms River, NJ, we had a perfect example of how this would work.
Let’s recap what our 2 idiots did. They drove a truck out onto a partially frozen section of the Toms River. Now this is New Jersey. Not Wisconsin or Minnesota, where folks routinely drive trucks and small huts out onto frozen lakes to go ice fishing. It’s not New Hampshire where they recently opened up a 3000 foot runway for small airplanes on Lake Winnipeesaukee. It’s New Jersey and it’s not even North Jersey. Folks don’t usually drive their trucks out onto a somewhat frozen body of water in the Garden State, despite the record cold weather we’ve been having.
Vaccination Island
VACCINATION ISLAND
I think it’s time for a new reality TV show. Coming from me that’s pretty funny, as I have never watched a full episode of reality television. No Survivor, no Idol, no Ducks, not a one. Happy to say that one of my favorite Iraisms is that “reality TV is the one of leading causes of the death of creativity in America.”
Here’s the premise of my reality TV show, which I call Vaccination Island. It’s a dystopian view of a world where anyone who refuses to get your standard vaccines is sent to live among other like minded non-vaccine loonies . If you are born today and your family says no shots for you, than off you go…and take mom, dad, and all your siblings with you.
Immediately after your refusal to get your vaccines, your entire family is shipped to an island, any island, as long as it’s far away from me and the rest of the vaccinated world. No more trips to the mall, no more supermarkets, and especially…no more trips to Disneyland, the epicenter of all things Mickey, Minnie and measles.
Here you will be free to live your life, free of vaccines, and safe in the knowledge that you have eliminated the one in one million chance of being diagnosed with autism, or some other extremely rare side effect that vaccines may or may not cause. You can also be safe in the knowledge that tens of millions of human beings, who have had their vaccines, can now spend their daze not worrying about getting measles, mumps or some other preventable disease.
Of course, no reality show is complete without a great host and we’ve got the perfect person….Jenny McCarthy. She’s not only the host of the show, she’s the host of the whole damn island. It’s the starring vehicle she’s always wanted, and now, so richly deserves.
But wait…there’s more. Jenny will also be the island’s very own vaccination therapist, convincing you that you did the right thing for you and your family. Screw society and the millions of people who had got their shots. What does the rest of the world know that Jenny, fresh from receiving her VHD (that’s Vaccination Hypocrisy Degree) from DLU (that’s D List University), that she doesn’t know? And now that she’s got her degree, she’s hanging out her doctor’s shingle. Or should I say shingles?
