NeSmith: Double-talk is funny political tradition
When it comes to double-talk, Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Edwards and Anthony Weiner are amateurs compared to the late Noah S.

Editorial: There's nothing really funny about 'Weinergate'
Sure, it's funny enough - in a 12-year-old-boy-sense-of-humor kind of way, at least - that a New York congressman by the name of Anthony Weiner was caught, and subsequently admitted (after at first vociferously denying) "sexting," or sending suggestive pictures of himself and having sexually charged conversations with a number of women via the Internet - some even after his marriage. As is being reported elsewhere in this newspaper, one of the women with whom Weiner was "sexting" is a 34-year-old local resident whose online dalliance with the congressman was revealed to a Las Vegas newspaper by her roommate.

Luke Smith: Monday's front page was funny
I found the front page of Monday's paper comical. The Banner-Herald, which stays pretty far to the left for the most part, depicted 1960s radical Bill Ayers' speech in photos for exactly what it was.

Funny film about food
"Seeing Through the Fence" accomplishes an impressive feat: It's a documentary about animals, food and veganism that will not only appeal to omnivores, but actually is quite often funny.
