W.S. Merwin was recently installed as the official Poet Laureate of the United States.  He’s got his work cut out for him -- selling iambic pentameter to an American public, 97% of whom think Longfellow is a tall rapper. 

According to Forbes Magazine, Sandra Bullock is the highest-paid movie star with an annual income of $56 million.  Friends confide that she feels so guilty, she’s thinking of taking in a poor black high school football player.
