Paula, You are my favorite panelist on Wait Wait. The fact that you provide such funny and insightful responses without necessarily following all the news stories is more evidence of your intelligence and wit. Thank you very much for all your time on that show. I have your album……I want more. I do appreciate the work involved in fresh, funny material. Thank you again.

Paula, I have admired you and followed your career for a long time. I just spent 2 hours looking at your You Tube clips, they are halarious. You are so talented and down to earth. I was searching for the NPR show and started reading about Wait Wait Dont Tell Me – of which I listen to each and every Saturday afternoon. If your not on the show, I tend to switch it off, you make the show. And – dont down play your knowledge – I heard the last lightening round- You got a “Perfect” score young lady.I admire you so much – I taped two of your shows from your earlier years – the best joke , Was when the pilot says Dont you just hate the people on the right – just look at them… etc..Why arent you coming to San Diego? Well keep up the good work – and now I know where to get CD’s of your humor – Thx. L4E

Forget the economy, Paula. Buy a few common stocks and require each to have a durable competitive advantage of some sort, and hold them forever (but don’t overpay). Read the first four editions of “Security Analysis” by Benjamin Graham. You Tube Charlie Munger on anything. For spending when you retire (don’t EVER retire), be 100% (or 98%) common stocks and decide how much you can safely spend each year using the Yale Endowment Spending Rule. Continue to underspend your income.

For music, channel Virgil Thomson, paraphrasing or quoting, “Wanda Landowska plays harpsichord better than anybody plays anything.” This may be an understatement.
