This past week dozens of tenured leftists in Israel decided to demonstrate their individuality by recruiting themselves in an act of totalitarian conformity in support of the McCarthyist attempts to silence the "Im Tirtzu" student activist group in Israel. Im Tirtzu is a Zionist student group, including secularist and religious Israeli students. It has been active in exposing the harassment...

I’ve been vibing to Bob Marley all day, as sort of a tribute to the man and an acknowledgment of the influence of his music on my life. As I listen to song after song, it takes me back… waaay back to my yout’… growing up in Jamaica, coming to Canada, struggling through adolescence and young manhood… into adulthood… until today. [...]

Word is that there will be a football game this Sunday night. The New Orleans team will face the team that used to be the Baltimore Colts, before the drunken bum who owned the Baltimore Colts snuck the team out to Indianapolis in the middle of the night. I'm not a big fan of the NFL. I can't be a big fan of a sport where there are so many long breaks for commercials ( the game is really terrible live....

Chas and Andy were kids when ABBA was in its heyday and love them just as I love the music of my childhood: Bing Crosby, Doris Day etc. But, in ABBA's heyday, I was already in my thirties and an opera snob. I couldn't stand them but now the more I hear them, the more I like them. On the way home from dinner at Sizzler, Chas played an ABBA CD and I've really grown to love this song.

There are certain rituals of life that seem to be unavoidable. Often these are family traditions. The family of a friend of ours, for instance, had a habit of making a silly noise every time they drove into a different county.

ANYTHING GOES is a surprisingly bland musical despite three excellent leads, Bing Crosby, Donald O'Connor, and Mitzi Gaynor. The film has some pleasant moments, particularly O'Connor and Gaynor's dance duet "It's De-Lovely," but overall this is a dull movie without much fizz. Crosby and O'Connor's characters are going to play the leads in an upcoming Broadway show. On a trip to Europe before...
