What's the dirtiest insult you can think of?
"You big fat meanie!" (What can I say? I had a sheltered upbringing.)

How would you stimulate the US economy?
I'd look for the clitoris of the US economy. Which I believe is quite near New Orleans.

There's a book out now about "Six-word memoirs." What's yours?
"Born with a silver spoon . . . aarrgh!"

Cats: cute or creepy?
Q: How many ways to skin a cat? A: Not enough ways. They are evil, sneaky, jazz-loving freaks of nature. But I'd prefer them to dogs any day.

What are your tips for "greener" living?
I've bought a hybrid car. It's a half-car, half-horse that runs entirely on sugar lumps. There is a more important question: what is so great about the planet anyway — apart from Boston and the vineyards of Bordeaux?

    If only there were some way to watch a con-artist houseboy give his cougar sugar mama a squirming reach-around, charm the pants off a candy-necklace string of countless empty-eyed Hollywood stick figures, lose his heart to an untouchable social chameleon, and, in the process, find himself .
  •   NORTHERN EXPOSURE  |  July 29, 2009
    While New York is grittier, Los Angeles juicier, and Boston is wicked smahter, for some odd reason it is Montreal that, for two weeks every summer, becomes the epicenter of the comedy universe.

  •   BEAT THE TWEET  |  July 22, 2009
    Warm weather is supposed to be accessorized by lackaday, by a breezy sensibility best enjoyed with a frosty tall boy in one hand, the sloppy product of a back-yard barbecue in the other. Instead, I find myself struggling to balance my beer between my knees and my overstocked paper plate on my thigh as I furiously poke at my BlackBerry.
