...spit at a ball game recently, she crossed the line between comedy and crudity. For an emerging group of female laugh getters, grossing out audiences is left to the likes of Andrew Dice Clay and Sam Kinison. Coven-like hairstyles are passe; so are Elizabeth Taylor fat jokes, delivered Uzi-style a la Joan Rivers, and the kind of masochistic self-deprecation that kept Phyllis Diller in face-lifts for two decades. The freshest funnywomen have power smiles, well-toned bodies and social commentary that ticks before it detonates...

...deer hunters, as though the woods of America were full of whitetails in Kevlar vests. Now that the pressure is on to restrict public ownership of semiautomatic assault weapons, we hear the same threadbare rhetoric about the rights of hunters. No serious hunter goes after deer with an Uzi or an AK-47; those weapons are not made for picking off an animal in the woods but for blowing people to chopped meat at close-to-medium range, and anyone who needs a banana clip with 30 shells in it to hit a buck should not be hunting...
