I caught him doing a little editorial talk the other day on his 'big wham bam'. I enjoy hearing him speak because he is smarter than I am, and I feel like I'm learning.
It was about the WTC, and 'evil' and so on, it was a great piece. I couldn't find the 'evil' editorial (ed-itorial, get it?) but a lot of them are all listed on his site. Good reads.
From Ed:
"On TV, these self-appointed members of the intelligentsia dress up their prejudice and bias as lofty, principled and evenhanded commentary. They'll claim they're just being objective. These critics may even seem well-intentioned... but, like a nice pair of legs, they eventually make an ass of themselves."

Laughing out loud when you are alone is a good sign that something is <i>really</i> funny. I am laughing out loud (alone) at the "like a nice pair of legs" comment.
Other things that made laugh out loud while alone: Newsradio and Gordon Korman's childrens books - particularly Who is Bugs Potter? which is available at Amazon for a ridiculously cheap $2.

"No Coins Please" was my Korman favourite.
As many people know the real silverorange business plan is taken directly from the book.
Look for <b>silverorange Attack Jelly</b> <i>(TM)</i> at the Atlantic Superstore this coming spring.

I'm still all about <i>The Zucchini Warriors</i>. Great book. With the bush-hampsters and the blabber mouth and the Beast and Elmer Drimsdale turned mack-daddy quarterback. Good times.

I think my fav Korman novel was "Bugs Potter Live at Nickaninny"... "Don't Care High" was great too.. I remember ordering those books through the shcolastic book order thingys every couple of months in elementary school.. Those were the days..
