For half a century Lister Sinclair treated CBC listeners to lively discussions on the world as he thought it. He was, for example, as comfortable holding forth on Law and Order as he was on classical music. The life and death of a celebrated public intellectual

Lets Dance I feel like putting in my CD of Kool and the Gang and singing Celebration !!! He can't do much damage there and plus maybe now we Catholics don't have to hear his dreadful pontifications all the time and whining how everyone was so mean to him . Hopefully he will be there during the entire 2012 election season.

You've probably seen this on many people's blogs already: below are three statements. Two of them are true, one is a lie. Can you spot the lie? 1. Many years ago, I was having sex with two men at the same time. 2. I once saw a real autopsy. 3. I once spent a whole overseas flight sitting next to JT Taylor from Kool and the Gang. Comments

My friend Alan Wilkis is just out with his new EP. As he’s done before, Alan has taken all kinds [...]

These guys were ahead of their time, I mean replacing the 'C' for 'K' is so hip, just ask the Kool Haus creators. Nowadays who really cares about a band name, it's the music that counts right? Well they've sold a crap of albums (70 million, apparently) and they sure know how to use their jazz hands. It seems appropriate that they're here for the Jazz festival. -K.K. Tickets are $55 @ Ticketmaster...
Lets have a cocktail (Free subscription) | 06/16/2009
I have been fortunate enough to celebrate many a thing in my life. From birthdays to babies to blogging. I have also celebrated many great moments in sports history including but not limited to when my Kansas Jayhawks won the NCAA tournament in 2008. When celebrating, components I might include in the fete might be gifts, tributes, perhaps photos of the moment, and of course, signature cocktails. What...

This season 4 episode, where Venus is framed for robbery, was written by Tim Reid and Peter Torokvei. (Torokvei was a law-school graduate, something you can hear in a lot of the lines given to Carlson's inept lawyer, played by Max Wright, whose dialogue is sort of a parody of law-school textbooks.) Hugh Wilson apparently let Reid handle some of the producing duties on this episode, which explains why...
