Kathy Griffin's offensive against Donald Trump Friday apparently fell on deaf ears ... because the only remaining venue that would allow her to perform has just pulled the plug. We've learned Kathy's concert at the Uptown Theatre in Napa scheduled for June 17 has been canceled. This follows 6 other cancelations, including bergenPAC in New Jersey which canceled hours before Kathy's news conference. The Uptown Theatre cancellation is especially significant because the decision was apparently made after she took the mic with her lawyer. The Uptown folks said on Wednesday the show would go on, but they clearly had a...

The bear stories that have emerged from Tahoe since the fall have defied logic. Until last week, that is. At Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village, on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, some students unaccustomed to bears have made it a game on campus to "spank" the animals with a pat on the butt, another game to "pet" one. One student resorted to feeding a bear an apple after deciding it was a bad idea to spank him, according to a November report in the student newspaper. In one case, a bear social- ized to humans opened the window...

1. You believe a woman's choice of whether to have a baby comes before intercourse rather than before birth. 2. You believe a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush - you believe government is poor stewards of your money and can do less to promote social welfare with your money than you can. 3. You believe in spanking versus timeout. Republicans tend to believe in the use of force in foreign policy matters and favor a large powerful military. 4. You want to see more nativity sets in stores at Christmas and less Santa Claus. Republicans...

Should Parents Be Allowed To Spank Their Children? (POLL)

IT'S ALWAYS regrettable when a perfectly reasonable point is ridiculed and caricatured because of a politician's clumsy attempt to legislate human judgment with a black-or-white solution. So it goes with the much-lampooned proposal by Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, to outlaw the spanking of children age 3 years and younger. Under her measure, a parent who spanked a child could be convicted of a misdemeanor punishable by a $1,000 fine or a year in jail. The absolutist argument promoted by Lieber is that spanking a young child is never appropriate. Many parents, including those of us who philosophically agree with...

(a psychological conundrum) Most of America's populace think it improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of "those moments." One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk. They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car ride together. I've included a photo below of one of my sessions with my son, in case you would like to use the technique. Sincerely, A Friend SCROLL DOWN

Some people accuse Celebrity Spank of being sexist. But we don't choose the victims - you do! So if you want to see someone other than one of the gorgeous girls below getting the fishy treatment... Anna Kournikova It was no surprise when during the summer the Russian tennis goddess topped the voting for a good fishy forehand.

It may sound a bit kinky but everything from depression to alcoholism can be cured with a beating on the bare bottom, scientists claim. Spanking is more effective than exercise at keeping the blues at bay, say Russian researchers who carried out tests on caning. They recommend that people receive 30 weekly sessions of 60 of the best. High levels of pain make the body produce endorphins or 'happy chemicals' and this leads to feelings of euphoria. Endorphins also boost the immune system, release sex hormones and reduce appetite. Dr Sergei Speransky, who now charges patients £57 for treatment at...
