Sunday Funnies


One event transcended all others last week and that was the death Thursday of Senator Edward Kennedy. The so-called Kennedy dynasty lost it's last living member, something not lost on America's editorial cartoonists...

subtorp77: Say what you will about the Kennedy "dynasty" - and there are a variety of opinions - but when I think of the 3 Kennedy brothers I think of how they eptitomize tragedy.

dizzblnd: Yeah that was a good one.

Quirks: I wonder if heaven's where he ended up?
With all the media focus on Ted Kennedy, I have to admit I've watched as little as possible. But for those who have been keeping track, has anyone mentioned the death of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick? You know...where he ran the car off the bridge into the water, saved himself, went home, and failed to report the incident until her body was found the next day?

I'm just wondering.

Frank: And for years after it sent shivers up partygoers spines when someone said "Need a lift?"

I watched his burial ceremony. Apparently a water break delayed the burial for two hours. Hence, it was conducted in the dark. Pitch dark. The TV camera had nowhere to focus except to pan to distant scenes and the lightning from an incoming storm.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav
