And this guy, along with his presidential pal in a wheel chair, won the war!
This current teen and young adult generation is called The Millennials. A more appropriate moniker might be The Hoodies: covered faces and limited views.

Probiotics are good for us. It's the amateur-biotics we've got to watch out for.
People who eat quiche are gourmets. People who can spell it are smart.
"Walmart is on the frontline for Borderline Personality Disorders,' says Columbus, Oh. clinical psychologist, Joseph Shannon in his lecture, "Toxic People: Living and Working with High-Conflict Individuals" Why?

Thomas Pynchon's latest novel, Bleeding Edge, made him a finalist in this year's National Book Awards. Unfortunately, the audiobook edition is hard to access because the very talented actress, Jeannie Berlin is miscast as the narrator. Think Selma Diamond or TV's Janice on Friends: nasal and whiny.

The Maltese Falcon from the 1941 Bogart movie classic of the same name is being auctioned off at Bonham's this week. It's billed as the actual prop bird and may fetch up to $200,000. However, it may not be the only one around. Didn't the Warner Bros prop department made several of the bird statues to use in filming? Who has the others?
