The crowd I joined for You Don’t Mess With the Zohan roared with laughter, and I understand why. Adam Sandler’s new comedy is shameless in its eagerness to extract laughs from every possible breach of taste or decorum, and why am I even mentioning taste and decorum in this context?

Beating a debt horse My boyfriend of two years has been living with his parents for four years. He's 49, and first said he had an apartment near them but never wanted me to come over. I soon caught on, and he confessed he was ashamed of being in debt and

On one of my recent blog cruises, I noticed that Doyle’s Public House is serving three slices of bacon for $1 Monday nights. While I am not much of a meat eater, I do go weak in the knees for all things cured. It’s a salt thing. Fortunately, my blood

Oh, Bobble Tiki knows. It's painful. It costs 50 bucks to fill Bobble Tiki’s Tercel, nearly $100 to fill a Chevy Tahoe. But it's making Bobble Tiki more aware. And by all accounts, America only responds and behaviors will only change when faced with ugly crises, especially those that maul

Hey … pssst … remember government of the people, for the people and by the people? Some crazy people in Tacoma are trying that old game again. And it sort of works. Now a year in the making, the so-called Community Based Services program is an experiment in community involvement

Kung Fu Panda is a story that almost tells itself in its title. It is so hard to imagine a big, fuzzy panda performing martial arts encounters that you intuit (and you will be right) that the panda stars in an against-all-odds formula, which dooms him to succeed. For the

Music columnists and critics write a lot of crazy shit. It can be hard to pump out quality copy on a regular basis, and sometimes the pressure gets the best of those whose job it is to do just that. Sometimes music critics write things that are just plain nuts. This
