Some easily answered.
None profound.
But questions all the same?
1. Does Chelsea Clinton make apologies for her mother?s insanity behind closed doors?
2. How is George Clinton still alive after smoking crack for 20 years straight? (I saw him at the opening of the new Zune venue and he looks better than me.)

8. Why do people bring their dogs shopping?
9. Is LA the only city where people bring their dogs shopping? (In France I?ve seen poodles on planes.)

18. Why do I feel a sick pleasure in the fact that GM is failing?
19. Is it anti-American to feel this way? Or am I just being haunted by that John Cougar ?Our Country? ad campaign they did a few years back?
20. ?Our country?? Whose country?
21. Genius or pathetic that an American corporation?s boardroom-produced idea of patriotism can elicit guilt in people let alone convince them to buy a domestic-made product over a one more practical and efficient one built overseas that they originally wanted more?
22. What is the ultimate apocalypsemobile?
23. Has Gaspar Noe made any films since ?Irreversible??
24. Whatever happened to the band ?Jellyfish??
25. Will activism replace apathy with the latest return of psychedelic music and culture, or will the neuvo-hippy kids continue to focus their energy on collecting feathers to decorate their Burning Man bikes?
26. Did the forces behind the making of ?the Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down? really think the Cahuenga Pass was a creatively satisfying, timeless and important enough subject to produce/create/invest money in a film about it, or did they think LA hipster culture was a hot enough topic that they could get a return on their investment no matter how lame the film turned out in the end?
