Prolific. Canadian. Rhymes with “cat would.” There’s only one author in the world those three adjectives can be applied to. Margaret Atwood reads from her new short story collection, Moral Disorder: and Other Stories at Borders Books & Music, 1801 K St. NW., at 7 p.m.
TUESDAY
Hmmm. It’s election day and John Nichols is in town, discussing and signing his book, The Genius of Impeachment: The Founders' Cure for Royalism. What are you trying to tell us, Politics and Prose? What are you trying to tell us? 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW., at 7 p.m.
WEDNESDAY
Comedienne Mo’Nique says that Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted, and if you’ve ever watched Giada De Laurentiis’ show, you know she’s right. We’re supposed to believe that fricking lollipop-head is an Italian cook? Come on now. Howard University Bookstore, 2225 Georgia Ave. NW., at 11:30 p.m.

I saw Bill Morgan at the Texas Book Festival about a week ago. He's one of a few good scholars now working to temper the overly-romantic perception of the beats and he's full of great Ginsberg anecdotes. Worth the trip downtown, no diggity.
I never noticed that Giada's head was too big - I'm always too distracted by her cleavage.
