You know I always like to tell you when the
New York Times mentions
Jerry Lewis. But today
A.O. Scott makes the dumb statement that
the French love Jerry Lewis.
You know how I hate that dumb statement, which means nothing. But from A.O. Scott! Who
should know better. It really smarts.
Let's stay positive! There was
an article about automats in the New York Times the other day, and it contained a
phrase I really liked, taken from an
early 20th-century newspaper account: "and
lo! a
ham sandwich or a
peach dumpling is his for the taking."
