| Welcome to Planet Claire. No, I'm not referring to the website devoted to the hippest Chicago-based band since Jake & Elwood, nor am I thinking about the B-52's hit single. I wanted to find the answer to the question posed by the latest email chain letter heard 'round the world, "Who is Claire Swire?" According to a recent story in the New York Post, Claire is a 26-year-old public-relations lackey at a British B2B named MagicButton.net who may be the subject of the most embarassing exchange of fluids since Monica Lewinsky's escapades in the Oval Office. to Internet by rich |
| If you're female, single, located in Toronto and like to live dangerously, please contact Wayne Manzo. He's desparately seeking a "Human" Scully to help him uncover the secret "Alien Race" in America. (However, he has one requirement -- "Please no alien bitches like Helen Hunt. I don't feel like being killed by an 'Alien Bitch' just so she can bring me back as her connected, telepathic, scanning slave.")

| So, NewsMax, a rather right-wing source news source posts an article about Freedom House's latest Freedom index. What's fascinating is that when you compare it to the original releases, it's apparent that they replaced the word "Democracy" with Republicanism. I've heard of newspeak before, but this is just doofy. to Politics by mpc |

| The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index slid more than 7% today to its lowest level in almost two years. The returns on my equity investments have been embarassing this year. I think it's time to apply the modern portfolio theory pioneered by Nobel Prize winner Harry Markowitz to diversify my portfolio to include alternative investments. Before circumstances beyond my control force me to take on a second job because more of my investments lay an egg, maybe I'll just sink my dough into this. to Finance by rich |
| Tuesday Dec 19, 2000 | What exactly is a Graphomanic? Apparently, it's someone who's obsessed with the desire to write or has the desire to be obsessive about writing, or something. That could include an entire printed book or an amusing short story. Of course, the best, though, is when writing in response to fortune cookies. Life is just much better when your fortune cookies are interactive. to Art by mdm |

| Much like the "Got Milk?" ad craze influenced many copy cats, some funny, some not, the MasterCard approach has caught on, and in the light of recent US political events, can portray different points of view very effectively. to Commentary by dnm |
| Monday Dec 18, 2000 | Not long after last week's articles on Swarthmore College, the New York Times ran a story on the athletics program at Cooper Union, a small liberal arts college established by Peter Cooper (the inventor of Jell-O) in 1859 and located in Greenwich Village. Like Swarthmore, Cooper Union has been cited by U.S. News & World Report as one of the most selective colleges in the country. Unlike Swarthmore, Cooper Union awards full tuition scholarships (value of the scholarship is approximately $100,000 for 4 years) to every registered student. Oh, and by the way, Cooper Union is a athletic powerhouse in basketball, soccer, tennis, and cricket. Yeah, cricket.

| Whenever guests from out-of-town visit me in New York City, they're always bothering me about getting tickets for television show tapings. Some shows are easier to get tickets for than others. My secret? Audiences Unlimited. They offer free tickets to over 60 television shows if you're in New York or Los Angeles. But, if you're in the mood for something a little more intellectual (and you live in the Philadelphia area), I recommend that you sign up for tickets to Justice Talking -- National Public Radio's town hall-style forum that takes an in-depth look at the matters currently at stake in our nation's courts. to Television by rich |
