Quote of the Day (Joe Queenan, on Icons as a Cure for Missing Celebrities)
“The professionally iconic perform an important
function in society by taking our minds off taxes and Social Security and the
ugly specter of death. It hurts us all when those who have provided so much
entertainment over the years—Tiger Woods, Lindsay Lohan, Lil’ Kim—suddenly
disappear from sight. This is why Madonna is so very important to the fate of
the world. She never goes away.”—Joe Queenan, “The Case of the Missing
Celebrities,” The Wall Street Journal,
