Go Read It!
I read this article by Chris Parker earlier this evening while waiting for a "to go" order at a restaurant and found it interesting enough to share with you. It's about how your United States Government shut down the online poker industry. I'm not sure if I think that's a good thing or a bad […]

John McCain is once again eager for this country to go to war. If this man had been elected president, we'd be in about nine by now. […]
Double-Secret Probation
A Broadway musical based on National Lampoon's Animal House? Hey, why not? And I can already imagine the promotions: Half-price tix on Toga Night if you come dressed in a bedsheet. Or they'll do it like a Gallagher concert and the first three rows will be wearing trash bags to protect their clothes during the […]
Today's "Thing Some People Don't Seem to Know"
There's a lot I don't understand about women's bodies but even I know that if a woman decides to take birth control pills, she takes them on a regular basis, regardless of how much sex she's having…and also that there are sometimes medical reasons to take them even when she is not having sex. […]

A Night (or Four) at the Egyptian
Those of you in L.A. may want to take note: The Egyptian Theater, under the auspices of the American Cinematheque, is about to show a batch of Marx Brothers movies the way God and Irving Thalberg intended they be viewed: With an audience.

Neil Patrick Harris hosted the first part which included a performance by Jerry Seinfeld. The second part featured Disney CEO Bob Iger and other company execs along […]
Things I Won't Be Eating…
The McRibster Sandwich…at the moment available only in Austria. But could something with that much cheese, bacon and pork be far from American mouths? Especially since it's deep-fried and has chili sauce on it? […]
Back to the Future
As several of you have pointed out to me, the David Frum piece I linked to in the previous post is three years old. That may say something about my powers of observation but I think it also says something about how nothing has changed in this regard. Everything Frum said is still valid. […]

David Frum gives his take on the Limbaugh situation. He says some of the same things I said earlier but he says 'em better. Take a look and get a preview of the Civil War coming soon to a Grand Old Party near you. […]

Today's Political Comment
I'm of about four minds on this whole matter of Rush Limbaugh calling that lady a "slut" and demanding that she post porn videos of all the sex she has when the public is paying for her contraception. He's issued a tepid apology for the first part of that but I'm still of the four […]
