• And Then There's Maude

  Meet the new year, same as the old year -- at least when it comes to a certain resident of the Dallas Zoo. I so totally meant to make it out to the zoo this morning for the 11 a.m. Concerned Citizens for Jenny press conference (no kidding, 11 a.m.), but a two-houses-down wedding-slash-New Year's Eve party that lasted till the wee small hours made that rather, ah, inconvenient. So instead, this hangover announcement as we speak of reruns: Bea Arthur's the latest celeb to petition City Hall on Jen

At noon today at the Dallas Zoo, Concerned Citizens for Jenny founder Margaret Morin, who is the very definition of determined, will hold yet another in a series of press conferences during which she will present Jenny's latest celebrity friend, Rut

• David Sedaris Is Probably Still Signing Books Somewhere on the SMU Campus

  Jenny the Elephant, as drawn by a certain humorist of noteHoards of lit fans -- which is to say, people who still read actual books -- filled in the tapestried seats of McFarlin Auditorium last night and listened to humorist, essayist and This American Life favorite David Sedaris regale us with tales of pompous, affected accents; kookaburras and what it's like to live in France while the United States has a black president. Oh, and he also mentioned a certain elephant in the room -- or Dallas Zo
