I beg to differ: Politically incorrect, proudly midwestern, potentially funny - Laura Pulfer (First edition, signed)

Can you make people laugh and make your point at the same time? Laura Pulfer's fans think so. 

The popular newspaper columnist and radio commentator  has become well-known for the punches she does not pull. "My job is to get people to think about important political shenanigans and sex scandals of all kinds, not to mention crime, urban blight, the crisis in our public schools and bad movies. But most people are just like me - thinking instead about all the plans elected officials have for our personal money and why food that tastes like kitty litter seems to be the only thing between us and certain death."

Unpredictable, sometimes a little over-the-top, Laura has become one of the most influential voices in her hometown through her award-winning column in the Cincinnati Enquirer. " I have seen Jerry Springer," she says "go from a laughing stock to mayor to TV anchor back to laughingstock."

Her commentaries on National Public Radio's Morning Edition have become a familiar voice of reason. "Remember when we were in school? Teachers used to send us to the office for chewing gum. Now our teachers have to walk through metal detectors to get to class."
