Attention, WW I fans!
Fans? Is that right...?
Let's say it this way: For those of you interested in the Great War (which was fought 1914-18, there've been SO many and they've all been SO INCREDIBLY GREAT, I can understand if you've lost track), check out this site.

Politics as stand-up
Kung-Fu Monkey, a recovering stand-up, analyzes Democratic ineptitude in terms of basic audience management. Interesting...and, once you realize it, blindingly obvious.

Around the World in 72 Pubs
Though alcoholism is draped across my family tree like so much Spanish moss, this odyssey was simply too fun not to pass along:
Go to their website and recommend a pub. I was very disappointed to read that they weren't going through New York City; I can think of at least four worthy pubs there, all haunts of mine "back in the day"...
McSorley's Ale House (if you haven't read Joseph Mitchell's profile on this, you must)
Chumley's (an old Village speakeasy where you can get your Benchley/Parker on)
White Horse Tavern (where Dylan Thomas died; now herds of NYU students make you WANT to die)
Ear Inn (supposedly the oldest bar in Manhattan, though McSorley's might have a thing or two to say about that).
UPDATE: Friend Greg Raskin reports, "Chumleys collapsed (literally, physically) and is no more."
Boo-hoo! How dare the world change without my authorization!

"By now I trust you are aware of the nature of this initiative. For those that are not let's put it in simple mathematical terms - 2 men, 20 days, 6 continents, 5 equatorial crossings and 72 pubs. You don't need to be a genius to work out that this equals at the very least 1 severe hangover, 6 bouts of jetlag and 2 empty pockets..."

"Gooble, gobble, one of us!"
With Halloween coming up--yes, I will be at the Aero's all-night horror marathon, at least until they bust out the Italian "gialli"--this site about Tod Browning's "Freaks" seemed necessary.
