MUSEUMS often get calls from people claiming to have treasure in their attics, valuable paintings created by great masters.

CRACK a few jokes about eating Hot Pockets for dinner or crispy bacon in bed, and call it a coincidence. Throw in commentary on ribs, bologna, spray cheese, steak, cake, Dunkin’ Donuts, Waffle House and Cinnabons, slather on some ketchup, and you’re the “food comic.”

MUSICIANS and singers as varied as Tori Amos, Shawn Colvin, Robert Plant, Diana Krall, Janet Jackson and even Prince have hailed Joni Mitchell as an influence, for a variety of reasons. It would be interesting to know which album by the Canadian singer-songwriter-artist would be their favorite. Perhaps it would be the 1971 release Blue, with its magical songs “River,” “California” and “A Case of You,” or it could be Hejira, from 1976, with its mysterious, passionate jazz-infused songs and stellar personnel.

ARTIST Jay McPhillips has a coffee problem. Even though he quit the addictive brew five years ago and switched to tea, Mr. McPhillips’ hasn’t fully recovered.

GIVEN Hollywood’s current vampire obsession, thanks to the Twilight franchise and television’s True Blood, the title Blood: A Comedy might conjure up visions of the living dead.

" Baloney, pure and simple. All of the purported benefits assume some very unlikely outcomes after the bill becomes law (which it won't). Seniors will go to the statehouse with pitchforks and torches if Christie doesn't have New Jersey "opt out" of the "public option" (a misnomer, since once the private insurance carriers bail out of the market, there won't be any "options" anymore).
