Meta-Free-Phor-All
The funniest thing I have seen the last few weeks. Stephen Colbert and Sean Penn face off in a contest of dueling metaphors. Your host is Robert Pinsky, former poet laureate of the United States.

The Death List
This is macabre - The DeathList for 2007
"A list of 50 celebrities is selected by the DeathList committee before the start of each calendar year for their likelihood to die during that year. Candidates must have a certain level of famousness, which is basically that their demise must be expected to be reported by the UK media."
People on the list who actually die that year are called "successes." Since only one person on the 2007 list has died through the first quarter of the year, the site authors call it "a worryingly slow start for DeathList 2007."
I want to know why Keith Richards is not on the list. Perhaps he has some mysterious antibodies from snorting his father's ashes)
