...literary companions Babar, Bugs Bunny and the Little Prince (and a lot of junk that I have elevated to the pop-cultural Pantheon in this column). I'm glad that Cohen has honored Geisel as a full-service wit: the humor-magazine work, the political cartoons, his cunning ad campaigns and Ted's creation of one of the most enduring, least endearing antiheroes in Hollywood cartoon history. What follows comes from studying the Cohen book, rerunning my favorites from Geisel's mid-period film work, and watching Peter Jones' excellent two-hour special for A&E's "Biography," which contains...

And although most of the songs on the album have been remixed ad nauseam, this is the first time Spandau Ballet’s “True” has been turned into a rap song, but to unfortunate results; I fear Gary Kemp would not approve as WILL.I.AM and FERGIE manage to ruin a classic love song that has been a favorite for many years...
