Lost and Found

Priests reburied Copernicus after 450 yrs in an unmarked grave. I guess any hobby'll do to keep their minds off those heavenly bodies.

This crude has tarred our feathered friends, British Petroleum has the means but no ends, lo they will continue to profit while fisherman have no other choice but to mop it, golf balls and tires to clog up the hole from which the bones of dinosaurs were stole, why do we let them continue to struggle with the leak as the oil continues to bubble it's so bleak, shut it down, til it stays in the ground, we'll find another way to get around.

Kagan and Mitchell the new Palin and Fey?

Your ability to recognize the male in one of these two pictures will depend upon either your level of Anglophileness or your tendency to believe that gold hoop earrings are only to be worn by women, pirates and pop singer George Michael. Do you watch "Peep Show"? Are you a fan of "Mitchell and Webb"? Then, you've probably already figured out that the person on the right is the cerebral, yet British comedian David Mitchell. Now, the person on the right is even more elusive. Are you a fan of Supreme Court nominees? Do you watch C-SPAN? Then, you've probably already figured out that the person on the left is the odds on favorite for Obama's Supreme Court pick to be announced on Monday: Elena Kagan.

So I ask you, is it time for a British crossover? Will David Mitchell make a name for himself in the States by playing a potential Supreme Court nominee to the level that Tina Fey did in playing Sarah Palin?



Lord knows Fey needed the work. And all male comedians are required to play a woman at least once in their careers. Why shouldn Mitchell be any different? He's certainly got the reference levels to play the former dean of Harvard Law School.

"Crews lower box over oil leak" is as potentially ineffective and sexually suggestive as the little Dutch boy putting his finger in a dike.
