Art Buchwald

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you an obit of the humorist Art Buchwald, courtesy of The New York Times: LINK

What a character -- to have lived such a colorful life! Note, too, his difficult childhood, which only reinforces my theory that "funny" can only come out of harsh circumstances. So beware the next time you meet someone funny.

Also of interest: the accompanying multimedia presentation that the Times released. It's Buchwald himself, inaugurating a new genre: the video obit. LINK.
