Editorial: Top 10 holiday wishes

 10. "Let's Be Frank" T-shirts. Because who doesn't want a smiling Frank Romano on their T-shirts? 9. An upgrade on Sodexo food. We hear rumors that there are prisons who have better food than we do, and when they're asked to cater, they do a much nicer job.

    REVIEW: Coldplay bring us along for a short but sweet 'march'

    Is this a misprint? Did Coldplay really release another album, just four months after the release of the band's two-time platinum, "Viva la Vida"? If that's the case, then this CD will probably sound totally rushed and unrewarding. Wrong. Full story
