Happy Alec Guinness’s birthday to all who observe it! Do follow his advice to an earnest Obi-Wan fan and check him out in something other than Star Wars. The Ladykillers, for instance.

“Aspic or Smuckers?” That is the punchline I had in my head when I woke up today. No set up. Frankly, none needed.

I would expect nothing less from an ostensibly liberal governor who also used to schtup Kimberly Guilfoyle.
