Don’t forget: Pearl Harbor Day, a day that has lived in infamy. I thought that the NY Times’ editorial about the need to remember Pearl Harbor expressed notable thoughts. Remembering it will be harder, when the first generation that was there is passing away. The passing of Harry Morgan, actor who was on “Dragnet,” and [...]

Josh Ozersky ponders on the Jewish love for Chinese food as this week’s subject of his food column on Time.com. Why am I not surprised that the Law & the Multiverse guys actually explore how Peter Parker is an independent contractor and Clark Kent isn’t? I’m not a Spiderman follower, but did Peter Parker ever [...]

Interesting post from NPR on the subject of the end of Bin Laden from a religious perspective (highlighting the Dalai Lama’s thoughts and the statement from the Vatican). Not forgetting and searching for peace – not easy stuff. No surprise that there are no easy answers. Interesting interview with the author/journalist Janny Scott on NPR’s [...]

The devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Scary news, regarding the effects of these natural events toward Japan’s nuclear power plants. NY Times’ Nicholas Kristof observes his sympathy and admiration of Japan, under these circumstances. He had been the Tokyo bureau chief for the Times and so he has some experience about his perceptions of [...]

Yeah, it’s still March.   But, not yet the NCAA brackets time.  We’re getting there… Hat tip from Roger Ebert’s Facebook fan page (yeah, I checked off that I’m a fan – his blog is great writing): the happiest man in America is Alvin Wong, a Chinese American Jew from Hawaii.  Why am I not [...]

Gearing up for the big game tonight? If not: PBS has counter-programming with Masterpiece Theatre’s “Emma” (all three-parts). True, the Jets aren’t in, but it sounds like the Big Game (in Dallas this year) could be interesting with Packers v. Steelers.  Not sure about whether the commercials will be interesting though. That was pretty powerful [...]

Yes, it’s been awhile since my last post and I still haven’t made my comments about “The Last Airbender.” Suffice it to say that the more I think about it, the more disappointed I am with “The Last Airbender” for not having a better cast.  I’m not suggesting that M. Night Shyamalan had to cast [...]

“Hawaii 5-0″ gets a Hawaiian blessing; hopefully, this means that it’ll be a decent show and gets some decent ratings. Of the “Facts of Life” cast, I’ve admired Kim Fields for having a prolonged career – that she went on to do “Living Single” by the 1990′s – that’s not a bad deal (I think [...]

A-Team and The Karate Kid!  Oh My God – it’s the return of the 1980′s, in a revised kind of way. I got to see The A-Team movie; nothing perfect, but if you liked the old tv series, this was a fun.   Plot made no sense; but what was there was an origins story of [...]

World Science Festival in the city; some good stuff. So, along with wacky service problems on weekends (shuttle bus, anyone?), MTA’s going to be issuing a new map (probably to reflect the end of some subway lines and other things). It’s supposed to look sleeker.  Hmm.  We’ll see how good it’ll be. But, it’s a [...]
