Comments on: Monday, 2/8/10 http://www.crosswordfiend.com/blog/2010/02/07/monday-2810/ The best crosswords in newspapers and online Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:10:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Jordan http://www.crosswordfiend.com/blog/2010/02/07/monday-2810/#comment-3030 Jordan Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:08:33 +0000 http://www.crosswordfiend.com/blog/?p=3495#comment-3030 I adore Vicki Lawrence. They interviewed her for VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders, which included her song "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia." She talked about appearing on Bandstand with Tony Orlando & Dawn when her song was #1 and "Tie a Yellow Ribbon..." was #2. He told her to enjoy the ride because it doesn't come around very often, and she said, "And boy was he right in my case!" She closed by confessing that if she could do it all over again, her dream job would be a backup singer for Earth Wind & Fire. I adore Vicki Lawrence.

Can I say that or will Sarah call me on it? Can somebody explain why it's ok for Rush to refer to a "retard summit" because he's calling out the dems as politically correct, with which Sarah agrees so it's ok. Aren't they PC for apolgizing for saying "retarded" in the first place? So Rahm should be fired for saying retarded and Rush should be applauded for saying "retard" while mocking Rahm's apology for saying "retarded" because real men use offensive words, and it's all good. But around here, there's only one clue for AGNEWS. I can see the former Agnews Insane Asylum from my house. Can I say that or will Sarah call me on it?

The whole puzzle was stilted, forced, and annoying. Massagist (singular) looks like an error? So does 1 down; I will now see if he meant Epicurius!

I do question the parental guidance applied...how is this G rated with HOT WOODS in the center cross? @wes…I thought it was an appropriate backbone of the puzzle.
