Last December, local comedian Jimmy Krenn was unceremoniously fired from his 24-year stint as the co-host of the WDVE Morning Show. Clear Channel, who owns the station, apparently wanted to go in "another direction." This past Saturday, Krenn performed a live comedy show at the Byham Theater where he dusted off some of his most popular characters like Stanley P. Kachowski, Ralph the Cat and Ben Klingston, Mall Guard.

Catholic Bishops are suing to stop Obama's health care mandate, despite the compromise that the White House made for churches. Catholic leaders still feel like the bill is an attack of religious liberty. That is ridiculous. Many non-catholics work at those schools and hospitals and should have fair access to contraception.

There have been many stories written about the expanding American waistline. According to experts, more than a third of U.S. adults are obese and 42 percent will be by 2030. The added cost of health care for obesity-related diseases is staggering. One of the reasons for this epidemic is the lack of affordable and healthy food choices. Granted, we have more organic/healthy options now than we used to, but it isn't available to everyone. Fast food is cheap and readily accessible, while organic healthy food is expensive and only available in certain neighborhoods.
