We put a comic on the hot seat. This week's victim . . .

What would you do with a basket full of onions?
I'd eat 'em in the morning and I'd eat 'em in the evening all over this land. Y'all know that the Pilgrims thought cleanliness was next to Godliness. Onions was after that.Who's cuter: your sixth-grade math teacher or Ted Stevens?
I was pretty sure a paper like this would ask some kinda homosexual question, being in Massachusetts and named after a Henry Potter book. Ted Stevens was framed, my sixth-grade math teacher was my deacon, and I ain't gay.
Finish this sentence: "If I had a hammer, i'd ____."
I'd build a jail to put Pete Seeger and all his Commie songwriting friends in. All them socialists continue to corrupt our youth with songs about drug-taking dragons and "peace." That's why I voted for Alan Keyes! He don't stand for folk songs.
What's your secret to such shiny, fluffy hair?
I got the hair that God gave me, and like my daddy always said, "Keep it short; keep it long." And Pert Plus.
Alternative sources of energy. Any ideas?
Why do we need that? Gas is cheap again!

If you're looking for meaning in the overly sanitized myth that is our national Thanksgiving celebration, a good place to start is southeastern Massachusetts, where nearly 400 years ago that band of hungry, ill-prepared religious zealots tried to colonize the middle of nowhere at the start of winter.

The Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock nearly 400 years ago, shortly after running out of beer. Certainly beer was consumed the following year at the first Thanksgiving. So surely beer belongs at your own table this Thanksgiving!
- Net neutrality has become the biggest free speech issue of the 21st century. Is it doomed to failure?
One morning last month, Senator Al Franken stood at the podium of a hotel in downtown Austin, looking out at some of the most innovative minds in the country gathered at this year's South by Southwest Interactive conference. "I know that many of you have heard people talk about net neutrality before," he said, "but I want to take just a moment to explain it, because part of the strategy being used to destroy net neutrality is to confuse Americans about what the term even means."
