FORWARDING AGENT

From the Maximum Leader’s bonkers budget to biochemical terrorism in Washington, the news is too depressing today. So here, for what they’re worth, are laughs from Lara. I don’t know who Lara is. She’s just a forwarding agent. But I do know she has a sense of humor, even though her women’s collection of photos does not feature Janet Jackson’s right breast.

Her election collection offers a solution to the voting-machine crisis (especially for Florida’s voters), suggests a design change for Air Force One, and does justice to the Maximum Leader (as well as Al Gore). On this page, she addresses the casualties of war, the I.R.S., McDonald’s and (not least but least funny) Osama bin Laden. There’s more: optical illusions, for instance, and a link to The Odd Word, a smorgasbord of “Malapropria” and “Yogi Berra-isms” for punsters.

This is a test: I’m told that if I want to increase my Web traffic, I should post these keywords: Janet Jackson, Janet Jackson’s breast, Super Bowl and Blogcritics.org. So here goes: Janet Jackson’s breast is the most TiVoed moment in history. Well, the history of Janet Jackson, anyway. TiVo users couldn’t keep their eyes off that Super Bowl stunt. And for those who haven’t read enough commentary about Janet Jackson’s breast, go here.
