Ex-Ensemble President Mannix Launches Consulting Company

Say it ain’t so! Will one of you please open up a bowling alley or something? Oh ya…never mind…a New York Fries franchise…anything! Honestly, darlings, how many consultants does one industry need? There’s practically more of them than us.…

Welcome To News Lite

Honestly, things are as dull as a Baptist’s wedding around here, Pumpkins. If it weren’t for bad press releases, there wouldn’t be no news at all. And I use the term ‘press’ very lightly, because when something important does happen…

All The Zest's Men

I’ve finally made it into the ranks of respected mouthpieces, dahrlings. Yes, Pumpkins, I’ve been deep throated. A missive has landed in my inbox which puts me in league with the Bernsteins and Woodwards of this world. In fact,…

Where Do All The B Listers Go?

I was having a bit of a TIFF tiff with a surly guard dog last night over the A list. Apparently I was not on it. I carefully explained that doors open for people such as I – on the…

Free Us From The Wackos

If old Pastor numb nuts burns the Qur’an, there’s going to be hell to pay, Pumpkins. Since he’s already lost his marbles, someone should finish the job and separate him from his bick. Lighter. Bick lighter. Relax. The fact…

Where's Anita Bryant When You Need Her?

Florida is being rather coy about its tourism orientation, Pumpkins. Cries of financial assistance are sounding a tad hollow against news of record bookings. I’m feeling very conflicted about whether or not the Gulf oil spill is a problem for…

Don't Touch My Syrup

Hold on to your pancakes, Pumpkins, now they’re after our maple syrup. Yes, those terrorist folk have syrup production in their sights. It’s obviously an evil ploy to break down the very fabric of our society. Our glue. Dare I…

A Female Horse Stuffed With Wax: It's The Real Thing

Frankly, Pumpkins, I’m a little shocked. I visited the freshly translated French ACTA website and keenly read the Code of Ethics. You know how I am about such things. A stickler, really. Anyhoo, my French being a little rusty since…

Tweeters Never Prosper

British Prime Minister David Cameron found himself in a tight place last year when he proclaimed during a radio interview: “The trouble with Twitter, the instantness of it – (is that) too many twits might make a twat.”  Now I’m…

I'm Fatigued

Seems everyone’s got the fatigue, Pumpkins. From the looks of things at the office, fashion fatigue is rampant. (Although I don’t think the dinkettes’ light brush with fashion concerns was ever enough to claim overload. Poor lugs really don’t have…
