America's young people seem barely able to make change; understand almost nothing about government; hardly read and, certainly, can't write.

   Yet, they talk, text and tweet incessantly.

   About what?  

   A local guy is in the process of forming a group to promote breast feeding--for adult men.

   His tentative slogan:  "Human breast milk, a super-nutritious food--and udderly delicious!"

   A defensible viewpoint, to be sure.  Though it does seem an awful lot like taking candy from a baby. 

   Several avid fight fans were arguing about who was the dirtiest boxer of all time.

   The winner named a little-known journeyman, Kirk "The Toe" Kowalski, who was involved in twelve stoppages on cuts--to his opponent's shins. 

   During the Great Depression, what did they call a hooker?

   Fifty-cent piece. 

LeBron James believes he could play in the NFL. But only if he stayed in Cleveland. Jeremy Shockey doesn't believe LeBron James deserves to play in the NFL. Then again, many people don't think Jeremy Shockey does either.

   Not long ago, Joe Biden told this guy in a wheelchair to stand up and take a bow.

   Understandably, Biden withstood a torrent of jeers and criticism for the obvious gaff.

   Some rock-ribbed Republicans went so far as to characterize Mr. Biden's behavior as "sheer cruelty."

   A few diehard Democrats posited that the Vice President--being a believing Christian--may simply have been trying to heal the man.

   Both these groups were kidding--I think.

   Friend of mine quit expensive online dating services.

   Says too many of the women there just want to get married.

   Now he's into scrolling names of nearby female sex offenders. 

Miami believes it's found a way to lure LeBron James and Chris Bosh to the Heat. It's called "a miracle."

   Local firm's ad for custom-made bras:  "While we work quickly and efficiently, things will definitely be held up." 

   As a kid, I found Roman numerals somewhat difficult to learn--initially.
