The Humor Column
Obstructed View is a humor column - at least it is when people are reading it and laughing. It appears on a regular basis in the many fine publications that have been handsomely displayed on the right. It has also appeared in several other wonderful publications, many of them huddled politely behind this colon:
• Horizon Air
• AmericanWay Magazine
• Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
• South Bend Tribune
• Phoenix Magazine
• Your Home Indoors & Out
• America West Magazine
• The Public Record
• Citizen Poke
• Blossom Review
• Herald-Palladium
As luck would have it, a few Obstructed Views are also appearing right below this sentence. Fancy that.

Suddenly my $10 co-pay doesn't seem quite so barbaric. read complete story
