It isn’t every day that you are lucky enough to spend an entire day with Cindy Sheehan. And after driving with Cindy from Burlington to Montpelier to Middlebury and back to Burlington again on the Peace Bus, I was exhausted. How does she do it? When I asked what kept her going, she said simply,…

Oscars [SIV9]
David Zacharis held his first Oscar party 9 years ago and he was the sole attendee, no, wait, his cat was there too, as well as a bottle of champagne. Better still, he wore a suit. This is the kind of party I like to throw and no, I am not being sarcastic. Nine years…
