Naah. Not what you might be thinking. Groucho Marx. Irving Berlin. In 1972 Groucho Marx was 82 years old, and bored.  The caller ID reads “US MARINE CORPS”. I reach for the phone, and in the fraction of a second it takes for the words “US MARINE CORPS” to register in my brain, I become every mother who has ever existed. Or at least every mother who’s ever existed since that first fateful day when Moonwatcher showed up [...] Bill Nighy and Kelly Macdonald are quite the cozy couple as they share a hotel elevator in The Girl In the Cafe Editor’s note: Edited–again — at 12:27PM, 07-17-2006. Taking out the typos and grammar gaffes. Again. I did this last night, but Bloglines doesn’t seem to be updating the feed, so once more into the [...] Okay, Soren — here at last is the long-promised rhubarb wine post! Cutting directly to the chase [no passing Go, no collecting $200] … I liked it. A lot. Much to my surprise. I was expecting a sweet, cough-syrupy abomination like the elderberry “wine” — and I use the term extremely loosely [...] Alarming developments, post-Bell announcement: Don’t mention the comet. I did once but I think I got away with it. UPDATE: Behold version 2. (It’s gotta be an improvement. I did version 1 on my lunch hour in about 3 minutes, using nothing but MS Paint.

This woman says no Via Natalie Bennett at Philobiblon, an overview of a new book about single mothers : Raising Boys Without Men: How Maverick Moms are Creating the Next Generation of Exceptional Men by Peggy Drexler (Rodale Books) And yes, since I hear the mob of angry, torch- and pitchfork- toting Dobsonites approaching, I’ll admit that [...] When I first started blogging about three years ago I kept hearing the name “Billmon” invoked whenever the blogospheric conversation turned to listing the best writers. I learned early on that it was usually a good idea to search for the writings of the most-repeated names. More often than not the search led me to brilliant essayists such as Barb O’Brien (the Mahablog), David [...] You keep mentioning this nebulous, hard to define “significant number”, Amy. Exactly what makes a number “significant”? And please expand upon this unique theory you seem to have, wherein vague unspecified numbers can be considered “significant”, but specific, actual dates [which are often expressed in numbers, "12-31-2006" for instance] must never be. And while you’re at it, please explain [...] From the department of Exquisite Rants I Wish I’d Thought Of comes this devastating post from Driftglass.   You were horny for imperial power for so long you could taste it in your teeth.
