Here just in time to be the 102nd commenter, I shall echo the merry sentiments of those before me and share in the collective disappointment of the Videogum hiatus.
If I am motivated, perhaps I'll sneak into chat tonight. Otherwise THNX 4 A GRAT E-YEAR, MONSTERS LOLMG
Can anyone explain why he screams 'Ishtar' about 25 seconds in?

Yogi Bear here, chomping at the bit to tell you about Maira Kalma's delightful new book. If children’s picture books are on the wane, all the more reason to hail the advent of a new picture book for grown-ups. Kalman, the creator of a dozen books for children, and whose previous adult works include “The Principles of Uncertainty” and the unaccountably ingenious illustrated edition of “The Elements of Style,” now brings us AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS (Penguin Press, $29.95), an investigation of the historical underpinnings and current workings of democracy in America. Sort of. Really, it’s more like an impromptu interpretive dance about our country, executed in fat, frolicky color, unprissy brushstroke, a smattering of pleasantly pedestrian photographs and perfectly rambunctious penmanship. It's so great, I stuck it in my picnic basket. That I stole.
I was actually thinking along the lines of the Bill Hicks joke about the child running wild on the airplane, tugging on the emergency exit:
"They're so cute at that age"
WHOOOOSHH
"AAAAaaaaaaa....."
"You're right. He gets cuter the smaller he gets."
