On Larry David's Rough Night Out With The Aging Literary Lion
I often quote Lawrence Tierney's many thoughts on life and love from his role as Ryan O'Neal's father in 'Tough Guys Don't Dance,' Like "Never marry a rich girl; she'll turn you into a cocksucker," and "I coulda told him; never call an Italian woman 'small potatoes'."
Yeah, people never understand me when I do that.

On What Replaces Newspapers (Literally)
It's true. I rarely say things like this, but that development there is just begging to be smacked by a hurricane. It might as well be named Hubris, The Full Service Experience.

On "We Are The World": When Michael Jackson Got Political
I personally would like to see an in-depth dissection of heavy metal's response to the crisis: "Stars," by Ronnie James Dio, among many, many others. I bet that fixed things.

On I Love You Christopher Hitchens, You Irritating Bastard
I'm reading 'Hitch-22' right now, and I'm liking it largely because he writes beautifully. Yeah, I said it: "beautifully." Now, am I surprised that he has assumed a number of positions over the years that I'm utterly at odds with ? Of course not.
And that Habermas quote was a bunch of academic sleepy-time speak; to have used it as an example of how to write about this subject *well* was a huge misstep.

Yes, when you and your film crew are not making a documentary about one of your lesbian sisters changing a lightbulb.

On Lobstah And Crafts! A Summertime Guide To Portland (The Real One, In Maine)
@Julie the T : It was renamed as the result of a coin toss. The two early leaders of The Only Portland That Matters (sorry Chee: you started it) involved were from Portland, Maine and Boston, Mass. So we could have been named 'Boston,' but we weren't. This, in a state that is home to Sparta, Sumpter, Salem, Springfield and (best of all) Kansas City, Oregon.
