A few months ago, I was watching the local news in my hometown of Cincinnati when I saw an advertisement for a news special. The report focused on a supposed drug epidemic that was particularly affecting the Kentucky suburbs: heroin.

Folks, I know this is a humor column, but I want to take this time to talk to you about a serious subject. You’re all aware of the tragedy that happened during winter break: the senseless, horrific murder of 27 innocent people, including 20 children, in Newtown, Conn. Some humorists believe that it’s never too soon to joke about any subject, but I believe that if anything in this world is untouchable, the mass murder of schoolchildren has got to be it. There’s nothing funny about what happened in Sandy Hook, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
