Another quality Monk

Everyone has heard of USA’s series Monk staring Tony Shaloub. It is a first rate TV show and worth your time.

However a monk you might not have heard of is Ed Monk a Virginia high school teacher and playwright writer of short plays.

My oldest’s High School will be performing Monk’s play
Day 6 later this month as part of their competitive plays. I was going over the script with him and it is simply hilarious.

I would strongly suggest that if you like a good short comedy find a local high school that is preforming it and watch it. If it is performed half as good as it is written then it will be great.

Smoke me a Kipper

Well today from Netflix the first cd from season 7 of Red Dwarf. It is an excellent choice for a Chinese home picnic.

Very simple instructions for said picnic:

  • Clear the den floor
  • Lay down a blanket
  • Order from Dragon Express
  • And eat it on the blanket with either a good movie or a fun TV series on the set.

I must confess I am a sucker for Ace Rimmer and any situation when Nazi’s are getting beaten up.

No matter how nasty the world is you always have time to laugh.

The Anchoress proves that with her Hollywood Squares post. Read it and smile.

Mini Morning Joe

With a job interview out of town later today and a car that will need serious deicing I won’t have much blogging time later so here are my quick Morning Joe thoughts today.

Morning Joe thinks as highly of Harry Reid’s staying power as Jane Hamsher does.

During the conversations concerning the war in Gaza and the rockets from Lebanon the word was always Iran this and Iran that, not Lebanon this, not Gaza this, not Hamas this, not Hizbullah, but Iran. It is a given that this is totally an Iranian play.

The cover of Time Magazine saying Israel can’t win is very funny. They didn’t call Time on it at all, but Israel in in a bad spot.

The consensus is that the Bush / Obama transition is a class act. Other than Mika Brzezinski the club seems to think that none of the ex presidents want to stand next to Jimmy Carter.

They will have to have a daily segment called “What must Martha Stewart think?” since they bring that up every time someone who deserves jail more than she did comes up.
