He’s my 11 week old Berger Picard, not a Gund as Ian suggested. Yes, his ears are always like that. :)

Hallelujah.

If you have not yet checked out the online sensation Garfield Minus Garfield, you have been missing out. Launched in February of 2008, this comic is a unique version of Jim Davis’ “Garfield” which provides an entirely different vantage point on Jon Arbuckle’s life simply by removing the lasagna-loving cat from all the frames.

One fine morning in 2001 I read the New York Times happening upon an article about a school for clowning, a Clown College. I’ve never forgotten its opening line as it puts a red rubber nose on an ur-truth that was probably in one of Sophocles lost plays.

Clowns are walking catalogs of human imperfection, and comedy is the chronicle of their struggle to survive.

Amen.

Notice Marshall anticipates the Web, Social Media, etc. in 1971. Notice that my embedding of this video into my blog is greater commentary than anything I might type. So I’ll stop.

NYT recently reported that TV’s funny men can’t find foibles in Obama at which to snark . So, naturally, Obama’s absence of buffoonery itself turns snark-worthy.

The five jokes, which Sen. Obama said he is making available to all comedians free of charge, are as follows:

Barack Obama and a kangaroo pull up to a gas station. The gas station attendant takes one look at the kangaroo and says, “You know, we don’t get many kangaroos here.” Barack Obama replies, “At these prices, I’m not surprised. That’s why we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”
