By CJ Tiernan When you think of parodies, you think SNL on TV, Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker for movies (Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Hot Shots!) and "Weird Al" Yankovic for music. He has managed to lampoon the hit music of the day for preposterously long time. Listening to "Weird Al" is a joy, a delight, and fun for the whole family. Here is a list of my 11 favorite studio albums by "Weird Al." Super Festivals from Ft. Lauderdale, USA, CC BY 2.0 <https://creativecommons.org/lice

By CJ Tiernan There was a time when the man in charge of the United States arrived in the War Room adorned with whiskers. Mustaches and Mutton Chops used to reign supreme on the Leader of the Free World's head. Good times! Below is my ranking of the very best of the presidential facial hair. Spoiler Alert: You've not had the pleasure of watching any of the Presidents below meet the nation, as Magnavox was founded more than 30 years after the most recent president on my list l
