Every so often to lighten the late-night mood, I find myself tuning in to WNEP-2 to catch reruns of the old Johnny Carson late-night show. While Carson’s monologue and guests are not timely, they remain funny and entertaining. Unlike the current late-night lineup of Carson wannabes whose mission seems to be hurling unfunny insulting jabs

With the holidays upon us, Webb’s Weird Words returns to its fall-season focus on etymology — that is, word origins. This week and next, I’ll unpack two dozen terms we rarely use except at Christmastime: words like noel, manger, poinsettia and egg nog, for example.

I was prepared to find “Barbie” somewhat silly, perhaps even weird or surreal. But I did not expect it to be so politically ambitious, so morally bankrupt — or so utterly infuriating. While the summer’s surprise smash-hit has a couple of worthy features, it is little more than a feminist rant: shrill, shallow, preachy, propagandistic
