Maybe you read about the LaughLab in last week's New Yorker. Finally checked out the site. A few laughs, and some interesting international differences in what people find funny. If you really want to knock 'em dead, 103 words about a necrophiliac duck should do it.

This wasn't what I was looking for, but it came up on two unrelated searches, so I'm posting it. Besides, you've got to love a blog called eschaton, though if you think you know where the name came from, you may be wrong.

This'd be a biggie for Osama and the Bush Administration.

When the gods want to punish you they deliver not one but two post election newspapers to your house, which feature the smiling? Trent Lott front page and center. So I have an extra one if anybody wants one. Actually two extra. Going once...going twice...gone with Monday's trash. On the bright side, I had a bit of good luck at work on Friday.

Just to clarify one point from last night, let us not confuse Gautier and Gaultier.

Richard Goldstein goes way back with the Voice. I've mostly given up on his music criticism, and these days he's often parsing gay issues to where he reads like Pravda circa 1960, but this week's take on leftist hawks is right on.

Senator Paul Wellstone's death is a tragedy in human terms, and a blow to mainstream resistance, as well as Democratic hopes in the Senate.

Couldn't find that old thread about euthanasia and dying (bring back advanced search) but this New Yorker article is worth reading, if you have the strength. An oncologist who often bears bad news struggles with the issues. I was going through some of this stuff with my father, exactly two years ago, and much rings true. The author describes the trauma of watching his own father die, and being told by the attending physician "it's tough, kid." Things have not come a long way since then.

24 Evens St in DUMBO is an old (early 1800's??) mansion with a walled property on a hill overlooking the navy-yard, heavy gate (Corvette, 60's Lincoln Continental, older Rolls in the drive), other houses in the area nice....where can I find history on this house.....
