The 'Snooki Effect' did not start anything - it's an extension of their hippie parents. Snookie, et al, have parents that grew up in the 60's and early 70's - right in the middle of the sexual revolution, the pill, women's lib, war protests, etc. These are the chicks who have come home to roost.

And FYI, the BS these kids are doing is being done by hundreds of thousands who visit the Jersey Shore every summer for decades. We are only getting a look at 8 of the transient visitors on TV.

Mr. Howard says that we look nostalgically at the 50's and 60' when tax rates were as high as 90%. One thing that he omits is that there was a SLEW of tax shelters that brought your tax bill down. The simplest for the 'regular folks' that still made it into the 80's was the deductability of interest charges from all sources. Tax reform in the mid-80's wiped that out with hundreds more loopholes like it. So, he can't just throw out a number like 90% without citing what the EFFECTIVE tax rate was back during the same period.

Just a thought, where do Mr. Howard and Ms. Lynch stand on tax credits for film and TV production?

As a fan of psychological thrillers, I was impressed by The Omen (1976). The movie cost $3 million to produce but they spent an equal amount to promote the film. While a bit dated and cheesy, it was a classic battle against pure evil wrapped in the innocence of a child. Great film.

Within the first 30 seconds of reading the piece, I thought "This is a story of a jilted lover".

Gee Joan, yeah. Sorry to hear that, but I think you made yourself look stupid.

This guy is a thug and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!!

I didn't think that our demo would catch that!

The Left calls Rush 'just an entertainer'

Do they call SNL a political analysis show?
