Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the weekend?
To catch up on everything that's been everything over this Lincoln's Birthday weekend, hop on the SwanShadow Express for a whirlwind tour of the headlines:
- Hey, Dick Cheney: Harry Whittington was only joking when he said, "I told you there weren't any WMD in Iraq, you stupid putz."
- That, or maybe Dick the Veep thought he was supposed to be shooting Dan Quayle.
- Now shut up and stick to skiing, Bode Miller.
- Peter Benchley, the author of Jaws, passed away at the age of 65. You're gonna need a bigger coffin.
- I'd feel sorrier for you, Michelle Kwan, if you hadn't weaseled your way into a slot on the U.S. Olympic figure skating team that didn't rightfully belong to you. You still owe Emily Hughes an apology.
- Wouldn't you like to think that the Secretary of Transportation has more important things to do than worry about Britney Spears's driving habits?
- Movin' on up: Franklin Cover, who played the white guy who married a black woman on The Jeffersons, died. In a parallel universe, he might have been Lenny Kravitz's dad.
- I probably won't rush out to see Curious George anytime soon, but I'm thrilled to see a traditionally animated feature do well at the box office. Like many folks my age, I remember the Curious George books by H.A. Rey with a certain nostalgic fondness. More than those, though, I remember Rey's excellent guides for amateur astronomers, Find the Constellations and the more-in-depth The Stars. Those books were staples of my youthful library. I still imagine Rey's simple line drawings whenever I gaze up at the night sky.
- I'm beginning to think there's a reason why they call that man Apolo Anton Oh, No!
- Art Shell, meet Kim Mathers. I believe the two of you will have a lot to talk about.
