Continue readingAs I noted in my post about Obama’s acceptance speech, even my husband was put off by the pre-speech video, which he found artificial, pretentious and uninspiring. Turns out his instincts were good, because they showed the wrong video. This was the one they meant to show: Hat tip: Hot
Continue readingWhile the Olympics has been churning on in Beijing, another champion has been at work in Toronto. Igor Kenk, who was arrested last year, stole almost three thousand bikes, making him one of the most hated men in the City: What exactly was he planning to do with 2,865 bicycles?
Continue readingMy Dad and I used to watch old slapstick together on Saturday and Sunday morning TV: Laurel & Hardy, Abbot & Costello, Charlie Chaplin, even the Three Stooges (whom I didn’t like). I’ve always had a fondness, therefore, for silly humor. When I finally saw Airplane, I thought it was
