Seat Filling for the Stars: Sitting Pretty or Slave Labor? I went undercover at a televised show called "Teachers Rock," which was to be broadcast from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. I'd applied to be a seat filler with hopes of learning how this highly unusual profession works. Could this be the key to unemployment? Could filling seats fill bank accounts? It turned out the answer was no because the salary is zero.

History, Happiness and Colin Quinn Colin Quinn was performing his one-man show "Long Story Short" (directed by Jerry Seinfeld) to a sold-out crowd. In addition to nonstop laughs on historical topics, the show offered profound insights. I was particularly intrigued by Colin's observation that (the pursuit of) "happiness" is part of Declaration of Independence, yet "no other country has made it their policy to cheer people up." How ironic, I thought.

Real Thoughts on Fake Lives I wondered about those who intentionally live someone else's life and headed to the 2012 Celebrity Impersonator Convention and Awards in Las Vegas. I wanted to know how "Sean Connery" and "Johnny Cash" felt about being Sean Connery and Johnny Cash. Could they retain a sense of self?

Sarah Palin Effigy: Now Hanging around a Republican's House A Sarah Palin effigy-a mannequin with a rope around its neck-- was removed from a home in West Hollywood, California on October 30, 2008. Now, it hangs in my front yard in order to make the bold political statement that McCain has lost Republican and independent votes by choosing a cruel animal-killer as his running mate.
