Blog Guy, is it just me, or is everybody turning into a comedian these days?

Exactly. In these tough times, everybody wants a laugh. In recent days we’ve seen George Bush and Prince Charles get into the act.

Perhaps most surprisingly, author Gabriel García Márquez has been doing classic shtick from comedian Señor Wences.

The Nobel Literature Prize winner? “Love in the Time of Cholera?

I think so. Look at this photo of García Márquez at an event this week.

That’s amazing. But he should have some make-up on his hand, and maybe a little wig. And it looks like his lips are moving.

Hey, I didn’t say he was GREAT at it, I just said it looks like he’s doing it! “S’awright?”

“S’awriiiiight!”
