Stephen Walt: "Where Have All the Political Songs Gone?" (with apologies to Pete Seeger)
... I haven't heard one that seems likely to become a standard anthem. Why? My hypothesis: there's no draft. So long as military service is voluntary, and thus something that young people can opt out of, the costs of war will seem far away to many of them and their attention will tend to focus elsewhere. And when that happens, there won't be big money in political songs and they'll stay on the fringes of popular culture. Seems to be true of antiwar movies too.

Marvel Comics maven Stan Lee used to ride horses in Central Park. Galloping was forbidden, but Mr. Lee wanted to gallop, so whenever a mounted police officer saw him galloping, he would urge the horse to gallop faster and he would yell to the police officer, "I can't stop him. He's running away with me! Help!" The mounted police officer would chase after Mr. Lee, who kept yelling for help. Eventually, the police officer would catch and stop the horse, then tell Mr. Lee to ride a horse he could control next time.

Space Station?
Stephen Colbert
Earth to Space Station Colbert: The cosmic joke may be on NASA. Comedian Stephen Colbert, who couldn't get his mock presidential campaign off the ground, is polling better by aiming higher. He's convinced his many fans to write in his name in NASA's online public vote to name a new room to be added to the international space station.
So instead of NASA's suggested choices - Serenity, Legacy, Earthrise or Venture - the space station's new addition may wind up with the name "Colbert."
The count by mid-Tuesday had votes for the comedian just shy of 115,000 and Serenity trailing at 98,641. More than 451,000 people have voted.
The to-be-named space station room, currently called Node 3, is scheduled to be delivered to the space station near the end of this year. It will have lots of big windows and a machine that will turn astronauts' urine into drinking water.
The name Colbert doesn't quite fit with NASA's theme, said agency spokesman John Yembrick. Other U.S. rooms in the international orbiting outpost are named Unity, Harmony and Destiny. However, the space agency hasn't made any decision and voting continues until March 20.

HBO
HBO on Tuesday defended its plans to depict a sacred Mormon temple ceremony in an upcoming episode of "Big Love."
The drama about a Utah polygamous family will show an endowment ceremony Sunday.
HBO said it did not intend to be disrespectful of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and apologized.
On Monday, Mormon church leaders criticized HBO for its decision to include the ceremony and said airing the material shows the insensitivity of the network's writers, producers and executives.

Rejects Cutbacks
Canada
The Canadian government has rejected a proposal by the country's television regulator to curb domestic broadcasters' spending on U.S. series.
Federal Heritage Minister James Moore said Monday that Ottawa should not impose conditions or quotas on how Canadian broadcasters buy U.S. programing.
His comments follow a Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) proposal to use upcoming license renewal hearings to consider whether expenditures on homegrown TV shows should match those for American fare.
Domestic broadcasters contend that they require the profits generated by airing U.S. series to subsidize the production of expensive homegrown dramas. Canadian independent producers, unions and guilds favor the CRTC's proposal for a so-called 1:1 ratio on Canadian and non-Canadian program expenditures as a welcome measure to promote homegrown series production.

Free Show In Michigan
Leno
Michigan's high unemployment is no laughing matter, but Jay Leno will offer a little comic relief with a free show next month at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
The NBC "Tonight Show" host said on Monday's show the April 7 performance will be for "anybody out of work in Detroit."
People only have to say they're unemployed to get tickets.
Refreshments and parking also will be free when "Jay's Comedy Stimulus Plan" comes to the home of the NBA's Detroit Pistons.

Charges Filed
Coolio
Prosecutors in Los Angeles say Coolio has been charged with cocaine possession.
The 45-year-old rapper, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey, was also charged Tuesday with battery stemming from his Friday arrest at Los Angeles International Airport. Authorities say he grabbed a screener's arm to prevent a luggage search that turned up the drugs.
Ivey was charged with one felony count of possession, and one misdemeanor count each of battery and possession of paraphernalia. He was released on $10,000 bail and is scheduled for arraignment April 3.

$13.9 Million In Legal Fees
Clive Cussler
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ordered Clive Cussler to pay $13.9 million in legal fees to the production company that turned his novel "Sahara" into a box-office flop.
In his ruling Monday, Judge John P. Shook agreed with lawyers for Crusader Entertainment that an original contract between the two parties called for an award of legal fees if either side breached.
Cussler sued Crusader in 2004, claiming the company reneged on a contract that gave him approval rights over the film's screenplay.
Crusader, which is owned by billionaire Philip Anschutz, countersued, accusing Cussler of duping it into adapting his book into a film based on an inflated number of novels sold.

Investors Get Stupid
Disney
Walt Disney Co shareholders rejected a proposal on Tuesday that would have given them a say on executive pay packages.
Investors at Disney's annual meeting also grilled Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger on a long-touted plan to bring the signature Disneyland theme park to China and on the company's acquisition plans.
Analysts say shareholders may have rejected the pay proposal partly for fear of rocking the boat. Disney management had called it "too blunt an instrument" for dealing with complex executive compensation.
Instead, investors granted management leeway to expand the number of shares that can be granted to a single person.

'Cheers'
Eddie Doyle was the guy who really did know everybody's name, at least when he started working at the tavern that inspired the television show "Cheers."
To the tens of thousands of tourists that later passed through, Doyle remained behind the bar to offer a smile, a beer and tips about where to find the Boston that wasn't shown on TV.
Now Doyle is out of a job, laid off from "Cheers" after 35 years.
He began working at the pub in 1974, after a few years bouncing around the advertising world as a graphic artist. He'd worked occasionally as a barkeep and said the fast pace and personalities sucked him in. He took a regular shift at the restaurant above the bar, then moved downstairs, turning down a chance to head the graphics department at a now-defunct department store chain, a decision he never regretted.

'American Idol'
If you want a good time, vote for "American Idol."
The Fox TV show - which has 13 finalists this season instead of the usual dozen - had to choose another voting line besides 1-866-IDOLS-13 because that number is owned by a phone sex operation, promising to connect listeners to a "nasty girl" for up to $3.99 a minute.
Ryan Seacrest dialed the number on his radio show Tuesday morning. Bemused and appalled, the "American Idol" host said it's as if the show "tried to script some kind of joke."
Seacrest got producer Megan Michaels on the line, and she explained that Tuesday's show will unveil a special G-rated number for the 13th performer. The show owns 1-866-IDOLS-01 to 1-866-IDOLS-12.

Publicity Stunt
Wade Whitcomb
A magician who posted videos online detailing a "trip" he made in a crate aboard a cargo plane from upstate New York to Las Vegas admitted Tuesday that it was an elaborate hoax.
"It was a publicity stunt right from the start," said Wade Whitcomb, of North Syracuse, after federal officials declared the event a hoax. "If that's what they say, that must be the truth."
"The FBI spoke to Whitcomb; he did not ship himself anywhere. We have no further interest in this," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said Tuesday.
Whitcomb had claimed he folded himself into a cramped wooden crate for the 26-hour trip on a United Parcel Service truck and a UPS plane. He posted a series of videos online of the purported trip shot with tiny cameras pointed out of the crate and one inside focused on him.
Whitcomb, who goes by the stage name Wade Live, claimed he made the trip last November to publicize a buddy's Web site.

In Memory
Jimmy Boyd
Jimmy Boyd, the child singer and actor best known for the original rendition of the Christmas novelty hit "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" in 1952, has died. He was 70.
"I Saw Mommy" shot to the top of the Billboard charts three weeks after it was released. It sold 2 million records in less than 10 weeks. It has since been interpreted by such artists as the Jackson 5, John Mellencamp and Amy Winehouse.
Boyd, who was 13 when he recorded the song, told Time magazine soon after its release that he was surprised by its success.
Boyd was born in McComb, Miss., on Jan. 9, 1939, and grew up on a ranch near Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, where be started playing guitar at age 4. After winning a TV talent contest, Boyd appeared on "The Frank Sinatra Show" and was signed to a recording contract with Columbia.
His first recording success was with a country song, "(The Angels Are Lighting) God's Little Candles." Later hits included "Dennis the Menace," sung with Rosemary Clooney, and several duets with Frankie Laine.
His TV work included appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in the early 1950s and roles in the situation comedies "Bachelor Father" from 1958 to 1961 and "Date with the Angels" in the late-1950s.
In 1960, Boyd married Yvonne Craig, an actress he met while making the Bing Crosby film "High Time" who would go on to play Batgirl in the 1960s TV series "Batman." Their marriage ended after two years.
In his later years, Boyd became an avid sailor and for years lived on the Southern California coast on a sailboat he named Unplugged.
He is survived by a son.
