Somewhere, Michael Crichton is having a good laugh.
The end of Rush's show today: "I won't be here Monday...Mark Steyn will be substituting. Nothing to worry about, another celebrity golf benefit...plus, you like Steyn, so it's all cool!"
Exactly right! I never know when to tune in for Steyn days ahead of time. Thanks for the heads-up, Rush.
A few links, just because they're funny:
Okay, I see the bus coming right at me, so let's be clear: this was His ad lib. Read the whole thing.
"Thanks for having me on the show, Jay. You seem like a pretty nice guy for an Italian."
"In my country, shervish people shervish! Cooks cook!"

Post-Purim
Went up to YU this morning, later joined by my parents for an amazing special Kollel Yom Rishon all about Birkat HaChama. Three speakers (the first basically an introduction, but still meaningful) with different angles, but all of them really added to my understanding and appreciation of it all. Now I can't wait for Erev Pesach- in Jerusalem this year, which, I recently realized, makes three regalim in a row- all five major chagim, actually- in Israel. Of course, I hope to make it much more than that come next year.
Before the shiur, I picked up the Purim issues of The Commentator, The Observer, and Kol Hamevaser. I devoured the Purim issues back when I was in YU, and even saved all the Hamevaser (as they used to call it) ones. I think this is the first time Hamevaser has done one in a while (they were recently revived in any event), and...wow. They still have it. All three do. I laughed and laughed.
Purim, by the way, was great, and this was a nice capper to the week. I got a good laugh out of Star Trek today too, come to think.
Torah and fun...what could be better?

Another paper bag
Well, it's good to see the folks at National Review defending Rush, as is correct to do. Those who are attacking him are acting exactly as I expected them to do, especially one particularly nasty Canadian Jewish pseudo-conservative whose new site (he quit NR) I visited for the first and last time today.
But Jonah Goldberg alerted us to this chortle-fest. Wikipedia, our good friend, informs us that Jackson was born in 1962. I doubt she saw much if any de jure (or de facto) segregation.
Second, as Jonah's correspondent's point (that they all had the same pipe) reminds us, drinking fountains by definition have safer water than most other sources.
Third, as to actual discrimination...see the title of this post.
I guess she just has to racialize her job or she feels like she's selling out to the man or something. The history of the Left in America, in times of madness.
One of these days I'm going to present my list of points relating to Jonah's book. Maybe when the paperback comes out.

Love Story
Over two years ago, I marveled at snow on Rosh Chodesh Adar. This time, the snow hit even later in the year.
But hey, being a "progressive" (especially a "green one") means never having to say "I'm sorry," I suppose. Heck, you don't even have to learn a lesson, acknowledged or not. The movie was based on Al Gore's life, wasn't it? With a non-dead Tipper, of course.
