Who else, but Ace? Maya Angelou Offers Eulogy, Exclamation Points
Particularly side-splitting is his (very good) parody of Angelou’s doggerel, “Elegy To Janet Jackson’s Wardrobe Malfunction.”

I read a certain number of foreign blogs — British blogs, Australian blogs, Iraqi blogs, Iranian blogs, Israeli blogs, French blogs, and German blogs. I do this for a number of reasons. I’m more interested in what Iraqis think about Iraq and what’s going on there than I am what the New York Times thinks. […]

What is the attraction of idiot hosts on TV shows? The list goes on and on (Paige Davis on Trading Spaces comes to mind — though to be fair, the perky, mindless Paige was the least annoying character on that show), but why would you have a food show with an idiot host who knows […]

I have long suspected that the political difference between Indiana and Ohio, Illinois, or even Pennsylvania was demographic (and partially cultural, though that’s another topic). Rural Indiana is full of people, and the cities don’t have the population to offset the conservative, rural vote. These data from census.gov bear that out:
