...sure, Short also trots out his expected gallery of TV characters - the nerdy Ed Grimley, the old-codger songwriter Irving Cohen - and an ad-lib segment in which Short's most tiresome character, Jiminy Glick, does an interview with a surprise guest from the audience (Channing Frye of the New York Knicks the night I was there) nearly brings the show to a stop. For that matter, the whole self-referential, show-about-doing-a-show conceit (see The Drowsy Chaperone and off-Broadway's [Title of Show]) is in danger of becoming a clich?...
...Robert Casey Jr. The issue plays well with a small core of Republican activists, Madonna said, and it also allows Santorum to draw a legitimate difference with the unpopular President Bush, who is otherwise closely associated with Santorum.

But I was only doing my job - with assistance from my husband Andy and in spontaneous cooperation with a British food writer and broadcaster (we'll call him G.) who had chosen the same dates to review the hotel...
...they held a convention for racial purity, I would never make the guest list. Like most other Latin American families, mine is a multiethnic stew that has left me with the generic black-eyed and olive-skinned look typical of large swaths of the world's population. My father's family is from Peru, my mother's from Chile. Their parents were born and reared in South America. Beyond that, I know nothing about my ancestors. That was fine by me--until the new and growing industry of personal DNA analysis created a need I never knew...
