Backed by the Solid Gold band and featuring his longtime comedy partner Tom Davis as Keith Richards, Franken bounces around onstage and exhibits a near-perfect display of the rock star's compellingly ugly sensuality. (The "Start Me Up"-era Jazzercize outfits were a nice touch.) It's the rock-'n'-roll impersonation of a lifetime; if he retains even a tenth of this energy level in the Senate, the economy will be fixed in no time...

For Chanukah this year, Bear Bergman sent her fiancé - a super-outdoorsman - on a five-day, backcountry ski trip in Québec with his buddies. She says she knew "less than nothing about backcountry skiing," but pulled the trip together with help from friends, research online and some professional advice.
