Here are a few things I’ve heard recently from friends and one brand-new acquaintance that made me laugh. “Don’t sign too many autographs, Paul. It cheapens them.” – said to MrB by our handsome friend Barney. “I’m going to retweet the hell out of this!” — comedian Baratunde Thurston. “I got this dress at a [...]

The theme song from the 1964 James Bond movie Goldfinger is stuck in my head because I recently saw the Frasier episode in which the Cranes sing the song. Gold body parts are on my mind for another reason. This spring I cracked a molar, which required a root canal and a crown. Because the [...]

Today is a day for celebration: it is the one-year-and-one-day procrastination-versary of my introduction to my favorite history book, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara Tuchman.

Lately, immigrant-hating CNN maniac Lou Dobbs is getting a lot of publicity for giving airtime to “birthers” — people who are convinced by the aliens who control their minds via chips installed during anal probes that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, instead of Hawaii. Some of you know that before I was a jewelry [...]
