Delegates don’t matter. Money doesn’t matter. Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s statements about AIDS as a US government conspiracy to kill blacks, and about American perfidy at home and abroad, may have doomed Senator Barack Obama’s candidacy for president—because millions of traditional Democratic voters don’t want to be blamed for old wrongs.

While March Madness dominates intercollegiate athletics, another group of collegians works out amidst coaches’ whistles, endures bloody, 12-hour practices, and cheers on teammates preparing for the national championship in meat-judging, in which about 40 colleges compete, according to a March Wall Street Journal report.

In another Fox News agenda-setting moment, the GOP’s propaganda wing has successfully shifted the election focus away from our endless wars and our imploding economy and environment, over to Barack Obama’s pastor.

Stage and screen star Stacy Keach will portray Richard Nixon in the upcoming touring production of Peter Morgan’s play Frost/Nixon. The play had a very successful run on Broadway last year, with Frank Langella winning the Tony award for playing Nixon. The film version, directed by Ron Howard, is already in the works. The tour is set to kick off in September. Keach got a Tony nomination in 1969 for playing Buffalo Bill in Arthur Kopit’s Indians. He has done extensive regional work. Several years ago, he was a charming King in The King and I at the CLO in Pittsburgh.

If we didn’t know that Salomon Sorowitsch, the main character in Stefan Ruzowitzky’s The Counterfeiters, was based on an actual person, we could easily accept him as a complete invention.

Every three years the former Trico plant on Main comes to life and hosts a massive party, the likes of which won’t be seen for another three years. This year’s Trimania boasts five floors of entertainment across the enormous space. Bhangra, African, Latin and Asian music, jazz and indie rock will be part of a multicultural, multigenerational extravaganza, encompassing music, art, dance, live performance, poetry, food and drink.

This is a dream assignment for a wine geek. Putting together a “must-try” list of wines, with a 12-bottle limit, is a bit like formulating a literary canon. How does one choose which wines to include? Or worse, through omission, will I be guilty of subscribing to some prejudiced notion of “good wine”? Initially finding myself a bit daunted, I eventually dove in, setting as my mark the task of including as much diversity of wine styles as possible. This, I surmised, would give the couple an opportunity to assess the likes and dislikes of their own palate.

You hear it over and over again in the real estate business: “Location, location, location.” In the car biz, it’s more like timing. Timing, and a huge dose of luck and/or talent. Toyota’s tenth generation Corolla couldn’t come along at a better time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you feel possessed by a ghost this week, don’t worry about it: You’re just channeling the spirit of a person you were in a previous incarnation. So yes, you may feel like a puppet whose strings are being yanked by an invisible entity, but at least you can rest content knowing that entity used to be you. APRIL FOOL! You should not, under any circumstances, allow yourself to be controlled by the old days and the old ways—even if the invasive force comes in the form of someone you used to be.

I have a syndicated advice column of my own that is widely read in many daily papers across the country. Sometimes, I’ve substituted actual reader’s questions with ones I made up myself. Just because I had a good answer to the question in my head.
Is that wrong? I mean, it’s all fluff, right?
