Christopher Hitchens, rare funny arguer of the unfunny female
Bored magazine columnists have debated for years as to why women are, or are not, funny. Inspired by Tiger Beatdown's post yesterday on another drop in the unfunny girl barrel—a study that found that women do not immediately react to the sight of a unicycle with humor [...]

Over the holiday, my family and I watched four-hour rock doc opus/slog "Runnin' Down A Dream," the story of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. I'm a default Petty fan—it happens a few years into listening to "Full Moon Fever" on every family road trip since 1989.
