• Post Modern Handshakes 101

  SAN FRANCISCO (Herald de Paris) – Back in the day, handshakes for men were a simple procedure. You stuck out your hand, they stuck out their hand and you shook it. But as post modern culture evolved, your handshake became an expression of how hip or square you envisioned yourself to be.

• Rock Star Reflection Cartoon

  VANCOUVER, BC (Herald de Paris) – Herald de Paris Artist-in-Residence, Stacey Wells, turns her brand, Rock Star Reflections, into an ecological soapbox in her first news cartoon:

• ENTERTAINING: A late evening supper

  A friend that I hadn’t seen in almost two years sent me an email hoping she and her husband could get together for dinner. We set the date, rescheduled at least twice, and finally made it happen after much back and forth coordinating calendars. I invited a few other friends I hadn’t seen in a while to join us, and when we got together it was as if no time had passed at all. So much had happened in our lives since our last dinner we shared, and the nice thing about being with friends is that we picked up right where we left off. It was as if we had seen one another the day before. The table was filled with non-stop laughter and we squeezed two year’s worth of stories into one evening.

• Sex, sex, and more sex (what happened to the city?)

  As I walked by this twelve story painted advertisement on Park Avenue in Manhattan yesterday, a few thoughts occurred to me. What did I drink before Sex and the City with it’s frothy cosmopolitans existed? Wait a minute. Did I even …drink ? Did I ask myself random questions about love, life, men? Did I even think I didn’t…already know everything? Did I go to diners and cackle about random crap with my girlfriends? Did I even …eat? Was my closet a huge billowing mass of fashionista heaven? Did I even…shop?
  .
  Sex and the City 2, the movie, is coming out in a few days.
  .
  I love Sex and the City and here’s why.

• Insignificant ramblings of a severely scattered mind No. 4

  Bad, bad GAWKER. One of your “reporters” read an article of ours, plagiarized parts of it, didn’t reference or link OUR content, and SOMEHOW still got many of the details horribly wrong. How is this possible? Frankly, we’re baffled. But if you can’t even get plagiarism right … be very, VERY concerned.
  .
  We’re calling it – COMMON SENSE is no longer common. Here forth, it should only be referred to as, “Sense.”
  .
  Speaking of a lack of common sense .. er, sense .. so there was an oil rig atop the Gulf of Mexico, a five mile long pipe to the sea floor and a drilled well below, and the fail-safe device was at … the top? Words fail me.

• Pop Culture Politics: Meet the Man Behind “The Most American Thing”

  Move over, Fred Davis III – your demon sheep was just dethroned by a gun-toting cowboy who looks as if he rode straight out of “Bonanza.”
  .
  At least, that seems to be the consensus among pundits, ever since filmmaker Ladd Ehlinger, Jr.’s political ad went viral on the Web.
  .
  The spot has everything conservative dreams are made of: guns, dog tags, the US Constitution, a horse, a 10-gallon hat, and a healthy dose of good, old-fashioned patriotism all served up with a side of Southern accent.
  .
  Or as The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel put it, “It’s like the Axl Rose lyrics in One in a Million came to life and ran for office.”
