@BurlB Your most famous piece of writing is arguably your review of Cannonball Run 2. I've read it maybe a dozen times. Now that nearly all the "Hollywood wax museum" stars in it are dead, though, I find that I miss them and wish they were still around.

@elakdawalla Journalists and columnists are somewhat required to ask "stupid" questions -- because they're not asking for themselves, but for their readers.

When did it become okay to be more offended by what someone with no power says than by what someone with power does?
