Cursing, while vulgar by definition, is an activity not unfamiliar to even the most erudite on campus. To hold the police to a higher standard than we hold ourselves is hypocritical. At the same time, we would be forcing the police to be overly self-conscious about a non-issue. As for the question of handcuffs, the only threat police have at their disposal is that of arrest, and this threat of detention provides motivation for action...
...good new ones include two great punch line shorts, "Sea Slugs!" and "Yes, Timmy, There is a Santa Claus." (The latter, like others in the show, may be familiar to many viewers, despite the "premiere" labeling.) "Fast Driver" parodies "Speed Racer" with results hysterical even for those unfamiliar with the original show's idiotic plotting, redundant dialogue and silly visual effects (here, the usual overhead view of a speedway's race line-up before start includes eight or nine bona fide cars, an airplane and an enormous spermatozoa).

...fact the reverse has been true, and therein lies an illuminating tale. Unlike the story of Elvis' rise from poverty to fame and bloat, which will certainly be told and told again in the coming weeks, the story of what happened after his death is both more unfamiliar and nearly as compelling, at least from a fiduciary point of view. Its unlikely heroine turns out to be none other than Elvis' "child bride," Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, who divorced him in 1973 but took over EPE six years later as trustee for their young daughter Lisa Marie...
