# Dave Barry's
month-by-month year in review --

"Another surprise hit in April is: Alec Baldwin Talks to His 11-Year-Old Daughter the Way Tony Soprano Talks to Somebody Whose Legs He is About to Drive Over in His Chevrolet Suburban." [Enjoy!]

# "IT'S A GRIM NEW YEAR for newspapers. As yet another rough quarter draws to a close, we witness the closing of a venerable Midwestern journal, The Cincinnati Post, as well as an alarming new trend: the outsourcing of advertising responsibilities to India." [Sass]

# "The perfect New Year
resolution for all of us: I will not
put my audience to sleep today."

# Winners announced of the 2007 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest... "bad opening sentences for imaginary novels."

+ Blogging may be a bit light as I have some errands to get done ahead of the arrival of the expected cold snap; weather should eventually recover, possibly by Friday, despite MSM hyperbole.
