...After all, this is America we're talking about - we raise our children to shop. And if Mr. And Mrs. Smith use that $600 to do something ant-ish like put it in the bank, invest it, or pay off credit card bills (generally a better deal than investing anyway), won't the money find its way out eventually? Admit it - savings is fleeting, investments make somebody else feel rich enough to spend, and credit card bills that go down by $600 tend to go back up by $800 before long. We're all grasshoppers at heart - that...
...People" routine from the Bring the Pain HBO special that helped revive his career in 1996 after three years in the wilderness that followed his underutilized tenure on Saturday Night Live.

...latest dispute. The accident occurred in international airspace between a slow, bulky Navy plane and a Chinese F-8 fighter jet. The insinuation by the Chinese that the Navy plane caused the accident is almost laughable. Such an explanation is like blaming a snail for running into an ant. It was the Chinese who decided to fly dangerously close to the U.S. plane in international waters. Moreover, earlier this week word came that the U.S. plane was on autopilot at the time of the crash, making the Chinese explanation that the U.S. plane swerved into the Chinese fighter jet highly...
