It had been a while since the cops shut down one of my parties. 

OK, decades, actually.

Wonks and Gleeks

While we were on Capitol Hill July 26, the debt limit crisis was in full force. There was not a lot of glee to be found in Congress, but apparently, "Glee" fans were in no short supply.

The Superstars You’ve Never Heard Of

 

Harvey Mason, Jr., Neal Avron,  Tommy Sims,  RedOne, Adam Anders.

 

Any of these names ring a bell?  No?

 

OK, how about Jennifer Hudson,  Fallout Boy,  Jonny Lang, Lady Gaga, and a little TV show called “Glee?”
