Shopping yesterday was a hoot- I could clear out the crowds by going into a coughing and wheezing fit. This is a step up from my usual tactic of farting loudly, then looking panicked. I can’t imagine why SP finds me embarrassing.

But what’s embarrassing is the string of B-listers whose birthdays are today, including an actually interesting freethinker (OK, he’s the A-lister in this crowd); a mediocrity in the tradition of born-into-wealth “intellectuals”; an ambitious Jew-hater who got his reward on night; another mediocrity in the tradition of born-into-wealth “intellectuals”; the Pride of the Democratic Party; a rather enigmatic jazz player; an expert in rice second only to Norman Borlaug; a mediocre writer who managed to hook up with a couple of real talents; a mediocre political consultant cum pundit; a mediocre pianist and bandleader who somehow got famous; an actually talented actor; and a mediocre “comedian” whose shtick is sanctimony rather than actual humor.

Now it’s Hour of the Wolf news.

 

Big light in sky, later to appear in east.

 

Sonic booms scare minority groups in Sector R.

 

And there’s hamburger all over the highway in Mystic, Connecticut.

 

Those are the headlines, now the rumors behind the news.

 

Adam 1-3’s incipient Negritude will come as a great surprise to his honorary Aquarium Parents, Ralph Bunche and Ida Lupino.

 

Old Guy Music today is an insane piano trio. Hear how much louder the Jewish guy in the middle is? That’s why he was indeed The Lion.
