I was watching Family Guy last night and wanted to blog about how cool Stewie Griffin is. For those of you who don't know, Stewie is a baby with a football-shaped head who is set on world domination and harming his mother Lois (ouch, that doesn't look as funny in print as it does on the show...). He's well-read: he read Grapes of Wrath which is one of my favorite books and he's interested in reading his dog's novel. He's got a British accent (it sounds like it to me) but he was born in Rhode Island. How'd that happen? He's got a whole weapon armory behind his toybox. He makes a lot of cultural allusions that I don't even get half the time. Why can't all babies be that well-rounded?
