The Best and Worst Musical Municipalities

As promised, but first, a fun fact about Moe Lane:  He’s a huge pop star in Japan under the name “Curly Boulevard.” In order to qualify for this list, you have to be an actual, fictional town in the title of a song.  Hence, Uptown by Prince would, unfortunately not qualify.  Neither would Funky Broadway, [...]

Poor Jeff Zeleny

I wrote a little about this at Politics Daily today, but I wanted to sort of clarify here.  Here’s what I wrote about it there, for starters: The best moment of the night, for me, was when the President good-naturedly punished Jeff Zeleny for his overwrought, four-part question about…wait, I can’t do it justice: Jeff [...]
