I remember when Doonesbury first hit newsprint, 35 years ago today. A friend of mine — an aspiring cartoonist — reacted in utter horror. "G.B. Trudeau," whoever he or she was, had to be the offspring of some powerful syndication exec who had decided to put his kid's inept doodles into print. And that exec […]
CNN is now saying "no indictments expected today." Stop toying with my emotions, CNN. Actually, all the news sources I just scanned are saying, in effect, "Indictments are not expected today unless Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald decides to release them. He's expected to announce them tomorrow unless he chooses not to, because the Grand Jury expires […]

Everyone's promising me indictments tomorrow but some are cautioning they may be secret indictments. Okay, fine. I'll settle for secret indictments just so long as we know all about them. I almost can't wait to wake up and find out not only who's been indicted but which side will be calling Patrick Fitzgerald an irresponsible […]
Sure looks like it. A lot of you have written me to say, "Be not disheartened. Wednesday looks like it'll bring indictments. Or maybe Thursday." Yeah, yeah. That's how it always is. Tomorrow. And then tomorrow, it'll be tomorrow. Some of you have also written that the indictments, when they come, will be explosive and […]
Nice to know the folks at the White House don't have anything more important to deal with than this. […]
Here's another photo of Charles Lane, this time playing a gym coach in the 1965 movie, Billie. In the film, Patty Duke played a high school girl who tried out for the boys' track team and put all the males to shame. Her secret? A little rock 'n' roll mantra she called "The Beat." I […]
Anything? Anything? Aw, shucks. Doesn't look like there are any yet. Oh, well. The week is young. […]
Here we have a photo of artist Bill Watterson and in this article, about as much info about the creator of Calvin and Hobbes as we're likely to get from a reporter. I am told that copies of the newly-released Complete Calvin and Hobbes have been flying off the tables at Costco, and are presumably […]
Here's a shot from the 1962 movie of The Music Man. The guy at far right is Charles Lane. If you don't know who Charles Lane is, go read this posting and then read this one and then, once you know who Charles Lane is, come back here and read the rest of this posting. […]
All of those New York Times columns for which I'm paying fifty bucks a year to read are now turning up for free on the website of a group called Truthout. I don't know why the Times hasn't shut it down but maybe the folks there have more important things to worry about these days. […]
