In non-screed news--no, actually, still screeding

Apparently National Lampoon lives. Well, sort of--they've appointed a new executive. "Thirty years ago, National Lampoon was the first name in American comedy. We will keep reminding you of this, until all our former readers are dead." an official didn't say. No word as to whether Gus Van Zant has agreed to film a shot-by-shot remake of "Animal House" yet, but they're hopeful.
