Please Clue Me In

Okay, in the same vein, things I really need someone to tell me about, since on this side of the Pacific I have no idea what's happening with them:

1) Is Anna Nicole Smith still dead?

2) Which of the new fall shows were any good? Is the WGA strike likely to end? Okay, I could find this one out by looking around a bit on the Net, but I want the recommendations of people I know.

3) Is West Side Judaica still in business, or has it gone under?

4) Are there any new Hollywood power couples I should know about? What word has been made up to describe the hype surrounding them? In other words, who's the new Bennifer, TomKat, or Brangelina?

5) What ridiculous form of self-promotion is Donald Trump currently using?

6) What outrageous thing is Cindy Sheehan saying these days?

7) What outrageous thing is David Klinghoffer saying these days? Is he still a shill for the Discovery Institute?

8) How much negative equity is there, exactly, in the City of New York these days? How many people on the Upper East and Upper West Sides now owe more than they can ever hope to repay?

9) Can you still rent a one-bedroom in Philadelphia for $700 a month?

10) What stupid excuse for a protest is currently in vogue at Columbia?

11) Who's the current Missing Pretty Girl in heavy rotation on CNN?

12) What's the stock market doing? What are the wonks saying about the housing "correction"?

1.) Yes

2.) Don't watch TV, but the strike is over.

3.) AFAIK it's still there.

4.) It seems to me that the media has been remiss in this regard. I've not heard of any new ones.

5.) He's on the radio know offering to send people a free tape teaching them how to become a gazillionaire without having to actually do anything.

6.) She dropped off the radar and hasn't been heard from in months.

7.) I can't stomach him and it's only out of masochism that I read his columns in The Forward. Yes, he's still supporting the Discovery Institute.

8.) I don't know, but the financial distress of the denizens of those god-foresaken bourgeois wastelands makes me giddy. As a general rule, I loathe everyone who lives on the UWS until they prove themselves non-loathesome.

9.) Yes, according to Rent.com.

10.) Don't know and don't care. Columbia University is eternally, indelibly, and irredeemably on my hate list.

11.) Hillary Clinton

12.) The stock market is doing what it always does: serves as a lottery pool for the ruling class to gamble their shares of the surplus value exploited from the workers.
