Sid Caesar was one of the very first funnymen on TV in the early 1950s and he influenced generations of comedians and comedy writers. Mr. Caesar died on Wednesday at age 91.

He was a master of comedy whether he was working from a script or simply improvising. Here is one of my favorites as a multilingual communicator.

Sid Caesar was the first to poke fun at health food restaurants.

RAISE THAT SHIELD

City Island Images expects the federal shield bill, also known as the Free Flow of Information Act (S. 987), to be brought to the Senate floor very soon. But before it can be brought to the floor, we need to be sure that the bipartisan bill has more than 60 votes in order to overcome any potential filibuster. Therefore, we're asking our thousands of visitors to contact their senators and ask if they support S. 987, as well as to encourage them to vote YES on S. 987.

The city of Atlanta has become a virtual ghost town as emergency crews battle a vicious ice storm in the state capital of Georgia that had already cut off power for tens of thousands of people across a long arm of the Southeast and left the streets empty and regions covered with ice and snow.

Atlanta residents were just recuperating from another snowstorm two weeks ago after hundreds of people jammed local roads trying to get home at the same time. The ice storm this week prompted Governor Nathan Deal to declare a state of emergency for about 40 Georgia counties.

WINTER STORM WARNING

Another winter storm is headed this way: Being prepared is a MUST.

Winter storms sometimes result with millions left without power, heat, or fresh running water. Making preparations before a winter storm is extremely important, since these leave dangerous roads and conditions in their paths.

The National Weather Service says the NYC metropolitan area will get hit late Wednesday night through Thursday night. There is a chance that we will get up to eight inches of snow, and possibly mixing with rain on Thursday.

FRIENDS

Good friends share, protect, dignify and help us. They often offer to assist us in the complexities of living, because living is a task larger than life.

Average friends seek what pleases them, they prioritize distractions. They are people who sometimes contribute, but not in our ability to acquire or earn money by charging for what we do.

Bad friends will look beyond what you like, evade and avoid these, then responds aggressively whenever they find something they dislike.
