January 4, 2013

Every year, Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin host New Year`s Eve on CNN. Every year, Kathy Griffin gets in "trouble" for doing something. Every year, the two of them are together again. Do they really think they`re fooling anyone?

The idea that survival builds strength is inspiring, but very little comfort while you`re suffering.

We were born humans, but have to work at being humane.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are expecting their first child together. Speculation is that this baby will be one more Kardashian family member getting more respect than Bruce Jenner.

Every time I see Eddie Money spoofing himself in that Geico commercial, my heart breaks a little.

Spike Lee`s boycott of the movie Django Unchained because of its liberal use of the "n" word has me wondering: would the word be so controversial if not for Mark Fuhrman and the OJ trial? A whole generation has been raised since then; what do they think when they hear the word used rather casually on reruns of Sanford and Son and The Jeffersons?

Is the title character in Django Unchained named after a real person? I understand the D in his name is silent. If the name is totally made up, why bother?

I was more intrigued by President Obama singing along with a LED Zeppelin song than I was hearing him croon a few Al Green lyrics.

I can`t imagine any other actress but Mary Tyler Moore playing opposite Dick Van Dyke. The same is true of Bill Cosby and Phyllicia Rashad, and Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt. Does that mean they`re better actors or not as good?

Who came up with the idea of calling a child by his/her full name when he/she really makes you angry? And do you still do it when you`ve given the child three or four middle names?
