* Remember back in 2003 when Prince Charles was allegedly caught kissing a servant? The accuser died last year, after making some rather odd claims, including that he was raped by Prince Charles’ lover. * What about John Travolta kissing another man? That was only a few months ago.

RIP Betty Comden. We won’t forget your words any time soon:

Did you remember to vote for Merriam Webster’s 2006 Word of the Year? Deadline is Dec. 4th. Mom says there can be only one word of the year: truthiness. Which was introduced in 2005.

Look at this screencap from this afternoon– I think they defaulted to some weird presets. Or they’re bloggin’ from the Summer of Love. Matt says this is a common error from Microsoft databases. Why 1969, I wonder? [...]

I am a notorious collector of corks. But what to do with them when their number reach the hundreds? Here’s some ideas: * Cork wreaths, which you can buy on Amazon.

* Dems: Bring back the draft. * Israel to recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, like in Mass., South Africa, and Canada. * Right on Sparky: * Anne Hathaway cast as 99. Humana humana! * ‘Did not know that Lolita author Vladimir Nabokov wrote a surreal, scifi-like novel set in a place called Antiterra. You can [...]

Surely ParkeHarrison is Lemony Snicket’s personal photographer. Thanks to PBS’ Art Closeup for introducing me to these.
