NIce piece. I wasn't aware of a couple of those.

A young Kim Cattrall also starred in "Police Academy," a 1984 movie that launched a successful franchise that culminated ten years later with "Police Academy: Mission to Mosco [drops drink]

My favorite thing that someone said about the speech was a radio caller who said she used to be a teacher, and how every teacher knows when the student is reading a book report that his parents wrote for him.

It's cool that one of our most brilliant writers puts himself out there so willingly, instead of pulling some Pynchonian hiding act (Also, check out his David Letterman appearance ten years ago. The story he tells about attending a baseball game is quite funny).
