On AM news radio this morning:  “Coming up after the break, Alan Alda will tell us his new man-law that should never be broken:  never have your dog stuffed!”

The question-begging is more than obvious:  Alan Alda?  Man-laws?

In terms of being qualified to dish out man-laws, I’d say that he’s in the same category as Richard Simmons, Christopher Lowell, and the singer of the Spin Doctors.  Maybe we could put them all in a battle royale cage match with Julia Childs and see who wins.

And yes, I know that Julia Childs is dead.
