It seems that little maniac that tried to take over Europe some 70 years or so ago was a notorious farter. His gas was so epic in fact that it may have played a role in Germany losing World War II (if so it would be a possible to assume that flatulence is a force […]

OK, I’m not a big Katie Couric fan, and I think her poor ratings at the CBS Evening News have nothing to do with sexism and have a lot to do with her just being the wrong choice for the spot. But this makes me like her a whole lot more: If you don’t get […]

The Cal band (Berkley) is famous for half time shows from its crazed marching band. Now for your entertainment, Cal’s band brings you interpretations of some well loved video games. Simply amazing.

The W.A.T.C.H. “2007 Worst Toys List“. After all, I have 10 grandkids (and two more on the way) to think of. The “Jack Sparrow’s Spinning Dagger” looks especially cool. ..bruce w.. P.S. “W.A.T.C.H.”? Didn’t acronyms with periods after each letter go out with U.N.C.L.E.?

I’ll bet. The American Society of Civil Engineers is demanding that a video spoofing their investigation of the levee failures in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina be removed from YouTube: A long-simmering dispute about whether a leading engineering organization whitewashed the role of the Army Corps of Engineers in the failure of the levee system […]

The New Isolationism: A Platform Proposal

I’ve always enjoyed Ron Silver as an actor — but now I admire him for his humor as well: The presidential electoral cycle is upon us. That means conventions. Conventions have platforms. I propose a platform that will make the world like us again. Just like they always did. It may take 12 steps to […]

It just hit me a few minutes ago: I’ve been watching (on DVD) the 1982 stage production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, my favorite of Stephen Sondheim’s musicals, courtesy of Netflix.
