Sadly this is me

 You can't really get into the Christmas spirit... But it usually gets to you by the end of the holiday. |

Poor Batman
Ads of the World shows what can happen if a guy eats one too many double bat-burgers with special bat-sauce. An embarrassed Batman huddles in his bat-cave afraid to face the jeering public. It's time for a trip to the Power House Spa! (Shouldn't he be thinking about hanging up his tattered bat-cape? After all, the dude is pushing 70)

The Little King
One Christmas when I was hugely pregnant Mr. Nag bought me an Eddie Bauer down robe and when I modelled it for him he ill-advisedly informed me that I looked like The Little King. Ah, Christmas memories.

Warhol's "time capsules" opened
Warhol's weird world
Studio 54 invitations, coffee sachets, Caroline Kennedy's birthday cake, a human foot - Andy Warhol saved it all in 600 sealed boxes.

Tempest in a laptop
'Porn' furor grips MPs - perhaps the government should call an inquiry :).
Rabidly overzealous NDP MP Irene Mathyssen accused Conservative MP James Moore of surfing the net for soft porn during question period. She had to apologize when it turned out the photos were of his scantily dressed girlfriend rather than some anonymous porn star. (Where his hands were while he was doing this has yet to be revealed).
Yes, Ms Mathyssen, sexual exploitation has no place in the House of Commons but your eagerness to dig up scandal where there is none hasn't helped the cause. It has however drawn attention to the malaise that has gripped our elected representatives. The belief is already widely held that many MPs simply fill in space in the House of Commons and have to be nudged awake for votes. Stories like this add credence to that belief. It doesn't really matter whether he was looking at pictures of his squeeze, surfing for porn or doing a find-a-word puzzle; he should have been trying to look interested in the proceedings going on around him after all, this is what he's paid to do. I don't know about you but in most of the jobs I've had the boss would not approve of me salivating over half naked pictures of Mr. Nag on his/her dollar.

Agnes Macphail
Surrounded by a panel of men, Agnes Macphail addresses a group of students gathered at University of Toronto's Convocation Hall on a subject close to her heart, 'Women in Parliament: Why aren't there more?' Macphail had made history on Dec. 6, 1921, when she became the first woman to be elected to the House of Commons in Canada.
