...Boston Three Party On the surprise scale, the Celtics landing Ray Allen to join Paul Pierce was Kid Rock getting into a brawl at a Waffle House. But the Celtics landing Kevin Garnett was Paris Hilton joining a convent. Suddenly the C's have the strongest Eastern Conference lineup, which may be a bit like being the tallest Munchkin, but it's still amazing for a sports town that seemed cursed for so long. Still, on the surprise scale these individual moves are dwarfed by the possibility of the Celts, Red Sox and Patriots celebrating championships at the Romney White...

From the moment he took the stage in the Washington Hilton's International Ballroom, Huckabee was in his element. The Arkansas contingent in the front of the hall went nuts, waving low-tech H-U-C-K-A-B-E-E placards. Unlike the other candidates, Huckabee was greeted by a standing ovation throughout the entire cavernous room. He settled in behind the lectern as if it were a pulpit, greeting the crowd "not as one who comes to you, but as one who comes from...

...Bates Motel. They sprint past Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson and barricade themselves in a room. After a female companion dies in a tragic banana-knife-shower-prank accident, Wes and crew evacuate the room and proceed to get kicked down a flight of stairs by an evil Paris Hilton. Finally, just like the ending of Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” Wes runs into himself dressed as an old woman. Now we see why Scantlin’s been yelling the lyrics “schizophrenic psycho” over and over. Wes Scantlin...

...exposure, while Muslim cultures are traditionally structured around protecting honor and propriety. On our shrunken planet, the two codes bump up against one another, throwing each other into relief. The same era that's given us the tell-all circus that is Big Brother and a cybervideo of Paris Hilton in flagrante also seems to have produced a striking rise in Western Muslims taking up the veil. The more of private life Western pop culture reveals, the more Muslim women decide to conceal...

...journalistic trade, I later learned-which came in very handy when the New York Mets brought National League baseball back to the city in 1962. Those first Mets were a team for the ages, the worst team in baseball history. Not just bad, but theatrically bad, Paris Hilton bad: hilariously awful. We Mets fans became connoisseurs of baseball perversity. I was sitting in the stands the day Marvelous Marv Throneberry hit a triple and was called out for missing second base. The Mets manager, the extremely antique Casey Stengel, wobbled out to protest but was told by the umpire...
