Table scraps:

♣CAN YOU GUESS which blog entry was written by a drama-rama young Internet diary writer, and which was written by a robot?

♣CHRISTMAS AT THE Rumsfelds was a real blast. There weren't enough people to serve the food, and he forgot to tell guests when the party was ending, but boy, the lighting of the tree was something special.

♣TURN ON AN ambulance siren in a small, glass-windowed room. Also in the room are a half-dozen deaf people, who play cards, read books, etc., oblivious to the 120-decibel noise. The WashPost's humor columnist takes a shot at conceptual art.

♣THE GODFATHER IS not pleased, and heads of lettuce may roll. Check out this rare moment from the classic trilogy, courtesy of my friend Zack.
