If you are easily offended by ethnic jokes, stop reading NOW!

“I’m sorry” says the maître d’, scrutinizing the group one by one and barring their entrance, “You can’t come in here without a Thai.”

You can blame Gary DeSomber for that one.

Hope you’re having a happy Sunday. I’m into reading a real book today – a rereading of my favorite sports book of all time, Jim Bouton’s classic Ball Four. I’ve been into ebooks for a while now and had forgotten the joy of holding an actual book in my hands and getting to flip pages and placing scraps of paper between the pages to serve as bookmarks. Nice.

As far back as I could remember, I’ve loved watching impressionists doing their thing – from Frank Gorshin and Rich Little to the amazing musical impressions of Andre Philippe Gagnon (watch him perfom We Are The World). Below is a clip of Jim Meskimen doing Shakespeare in the voices of Robert DeNiro, Rick Gervais, Paul Giamatti and others. Excellent.

I’m off to an Italian-Irish wedding, so food and drink is what this Saturday’s going to be all about. Yeah!

As a man of Italian ancestry who has spent a ton of time in New York City, I can attest to everything Stewart says here about both the city and the proper way to eat a pizza slice. If you didn’t catch the Daily Show last night, you’re in for a treat. It’s Stewart at his best. Canadians can view the clip here.

Never a good thing to start a weekend with anything less than a smile . Here’s the part of the idiot interview between Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin you probably missed. Happy Saturday.
