10 Reasons Why Warren Zevon Was Cool: "How many singers got to use R.E.M. as their backing band?"

WZ obit by Dave Barry: "We also did 'Werewolves of London,' but Zevon insisted that it had to be sung by Stephen King."

What would Jesus drive?: "One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because the Bible says, 'God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury.'"

Bush toy was not much fun: "The bigger problem is that I cannot find any weapons of mass destruction anywhere in the box."

A publisher ponders the Al Franken / Fox News mess: "Waiting until it’s difficult-to-impossible to make changes in a book, and then trying to legally force changes to be made at the point of the book’s greatest public exposure, isn’t how you defend a trademark. It’s how you count coup."

Optical illusions. WARNING: may cause your eyes to burst from your head.

Today's amusement: type "weapons of mass destruction" into Google and click the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.

Off to Wal-Mart, then back to Le Guin.

Ooh ooh! I have it, assuming he's still on Prov. in Chr'burg. However, I don't know a) if that's correct, or b) if he wants it divulged publicly.

It /is/ correct, and I /would/ prefer it not be bruited about in public. So, thanks but no thanks. :)

(Actually, I just wanted an excuse to use the phrase 'bruited about.' :)
