Peter Boyle -- D and I watched "Young Frankenstein" Sunday on the flight back from Fla. The "Putting on the Ritz" bit is a classic.
I'm looking forward to a trip on Portland's new
OHSU Aerial Tram, I just don't want to be the first - or
last - person to ride it.

Using PowerPoint, rock anthems, and audience interaction, Andrew "AC"
Dickson and Susan Beal are out to convince you that eBay selling is
personally lucrative, good for this country, and ultimately a
meaningful step towards world peace and a better tomorrow. A
performance art piece that also works as a comedic anti-corporate
corporate seminar, AC Dickson: eBay PowerSeller is absolutely the best
hour-long eBay education around, as well as “a very astute, highly
entertaining treatise on capitalism, market forces, and the American
dream that carries wry hints of send-up and satire.” –– The Glasgow
Herald

I've seen the show and recommend.
Al Qaeda is what, I asked, Sunni or Shia?
“Al Qaeda, they have both,” [incoming Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee] Reyes said. “You’re talking about predominately?”
“Sure,” I said, not knowing what else to say.
“Predominantly — probably Shiite,” he ventured.
As the article points out, this man makes $165,200. Nice work if you can get it. Has he purposefully tried to not read anything on the subject of Al Qaeda? How is it even possible not to know this?
Debka, a right-ish Israeli military news source not very well respected, claims that
Gates listed Israel as a nuclear power in his testimony before congress. That seems like maybe a big deal. Everyone supposes that Israel has nukes, but as far as I know no major US administration officials have ever confirmed this. Am I wrong? Certainly Israel has a policy of not admitting (or denying) this. Was it just a slip of the tongue, or is this a first step to maybe getting at the heart of the matter in the MidEast? (I can dream, can't I?)
great audrey hepburn paris boho dance scene from funny face commencing on tcm followed by a stanley donen interview and then charade with cary grant and hepburn.
This is a documentary premiering in New Orleans tomorrow and features three of M's "kids" on Dumaine, Jonathan, Joshua, and Mario. In the clip there is also a brief cameo of Fermin, sitting on steps with longish hair and white t-shirt. Produced, written, directed and edited by M's friend and former employer, Dr. Vince Morelli, who was very active on Dumaine after I left and opening first scene of Jonathan in clip is shot in front of, but looking across the street, from Dumaine house. Mario, I may have mentioned a couple of years ago, was shot five times while sitting on his stoop around the corner, and survived.

one of the few nice things to come out of the war is the association between tom friedman and f.u. (as in

Crazy
Morphosis skyscraper going up in Paris. I really liked that there weren't any really tall buildings. I thought it made the city seem very manageable considering it's size. I guess everything has to change though.
