A small, stupid child, like many who attended the dog show, reached out a paw toward a vast belligerent St. Bernard who was lounging in his sawdust covered stall, swathed in a towel lest the slobber from his mouth should stain his sleek and tonsured fur. The St. Bernard lurched bellowing at the child; a collie barked at the St. Bernard; an Airedale yelped at the collie; soon, all the dogs were in a noisy fury.

He does, however, offer a science-based tip for tipplers: Don't eat peanuts or wear lipstick. The fat molecules in greasy snacks and lip glosses...
...concerned when our national dialogue can be trumped at a moment's notice by the exposing of a breast or the dropping of a towel. I did not spend any appreciable time on my NPR show talking about Scott Peterson, Kobe Bryant, the Terrell Owens incident or Janet's exposing her breast. It just doesn't interest...
