I Love New York

Same Sex Marriage Bill Passes!

Now, if I could only get the fucktards in my state from passing a constitutional ban.

Peter Falk dies

Best known as the rumpled genius detective in the television series Columbo as well as the film The Princess Bride, he also did a star turn in arguably one of the best films ever made, Wim Wender's Wings of Desire



A lieutenant in the Los Angeles Police Department, Columbo was a comic variation on the traditional fictional detective. With the keen mind of Sherlock Holmes and Philip Marlowe, he was cast in the mold of neither — not a gentleman scholar, not a tough guy. He was instead a mass of quirks and peculiarities, a seemingly distracted figure in a rumpled raincoat, perpetually patting his pockets for a light for his signature stogie.

(and incidentally, the detectives signature raincoat and battered car were chosen by Falk)

On a personal note, THANK YOU MR.FALK for helping to encourage my love of mystery stories and great detectives, anything with you in it was worth watching!

The Bad Beekeeper

Great interview from NPR with BBC Host Bill Turnbull became an inadvertant beekeeper. (Which is something I'd like to do one day to help keep the feral bee population alive)
