Dance, Monkey: Rich Ceisler

We put a comic on the hot seat. This week's victim...

WHAT DO YOU THINK SARAH PALIN'S NEXT MOVE SHOULD BE?
Rather than hunting animals, she should be hunting all of the young men that are after her underage daughters.

WHAT'S THE MOST SICKENINGLY ADORABLE NAME YOU CAN THINK OF FOR BARACK OBAMA'S NEW PUPPY?
POTUS.

I SEE YOU DO A LOT OF CORPORATE GIGS. DO CORPORATE PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE THE WORD "SYNERGIZE"? AND WHEN THEY DO, DO YOU WANT TO PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE?
Absolutely. Let's just say we'll raise it up the flagpole, see if anybody salutes it, but personally, I think that dog won't hunt.

YOUR THOUGHTS ON SOCKS?
If they're not red, they're useless.

WHAT'S YOUR SIGNATURE DANCE MOVE?
It's a minor improvement on the Elaine Benes dance move: a combo of the Benes chicken, the white man's overbite, and a mortar-and-pestle move.

THE BIG HURT: DURST PANTSED, MICHAELS SMOOSHED
"This isn't a reunion, this is a comeback," quibbled the red-hatted irrelephant in a BBC interview.

LOCAL NEWS BLUES
There has been plenty of hand-wringing, in these parts, over the decline of the local broadsheet. The Providence Journal is the paper of record, after all, the agenda setter. And the agenda is decidedly thinner these days.

FACTORY FOOD
Since Squanto taught the Pilgrims to plant maize, no food has been more emblematic of the evolution of American eating habits than corn. That's been true from the sepia-tinged golden age of the Midwestern breadbasket to the present day, where those yellow kernels are lab-engineered and recombinated into a dizzying array of futuristic foodstuffs.

PHOTOS: NO DOUBT AND PARAMORE IN BOSTON
So we went a little overboard taking pictures of NO DOUBT and PARAMORE. Can you blame us?

SCUP'S IN THE HARBOR
Scouting out great cheap restaurants takes me down some strange byways, but I almost never make it to Boston's waterfront. Most places with water views tend to be overpriced or mediocre. Perhaps it's the high cost of picturesque real estate, or that owners count on the scenery to mask their shortcomings.

GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY
The US Supreme Court's June 18 decision denying prisoners access to DNA testing — a procedure that could reliably prove innocence — adds to the high court's decades-long shameful record on criminal-justice issues.

TWEET-FIGHTING MAN
Is Twitter driving the ongoing political crisis in Iran?
