Compared to what--bubonic plague?

Note to self: Blog more about Canada. We managed to awaken Marty from his slumber. In defending Conrad Black, he invokes the "hot daughter" defense--though, surprisingly (to me), not the "hot wife" defense--though neither will get you very far, I suspect, with Pat Fitzgerald. In contrast, the Scooter Libby defense--"I'm tight with Dick Cheney"--might work a little better.

Note to Marty: Mark Steyn is an idiot.

Oddly, I keep coming across mentions in peculiar places of my alama mater. First, we've been watching the first season of the Sopranos. In episode six (I think), we learn that "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero has two children at Villanova. Second, Tim Donaghy--the disgraced NBA ref (and possible relation of Jack Donaghy?)--is also a graduate of that fine school. I trust there are some famous Villanova grad out there who aren't benefitting from criminal activity.

I'm a big fan of Wes Anderson's recent films, especially the (in my judgment) unfairly maligned "Life Aquatic." Therefore, I'm been fairly excited about the forthcoming "The Darjeeling Limited." However, the trailer they've just released is really boring. Methinks they've got some work to do.

This, in contrast, is completely badass. (To spoil the surprise, it's the trailer for the Coen Bros.' film of C'mac McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men.")

I appear to have unleashed a hornet's nest--yeah, I know that's a mixed metaphor, but it's the best I can do on short notice--with my comments about Camelot. I'll try to say something constructive about that tomorrow.

Don't get me wrong - Barbara Ameil is pretty damned hot for a 60 year old. But evolution has decisively dictated that us guys are more strongly attracted to nubile 26 year old hotties like Alana Black, no matter how much the feministas try to reprogram us to fit their social agenda (free love for old, ugly women, too, I suppose).

On the topic of Mark Steyn's idiocy, or not, I guess we need to see the case made and the points debated to come to a rational conclusion. All I can say is that he is still the most articulate conservative columnist (polemicist?) to evoke deep down belly laughs whenever I read his columns. And yeah, you should post more blogs about Canada...

Urgent: what's the proper reading order of Ellroy's LA Quartet? I might actually dust one of my purchases from a decade ago off.
