...look forward to reviewing my homeowner's insurance the way I do to cleaning the gutters on the roof. Preventive care is a pain. It's amazing, though, how much trouble can turn up. Did you know, for example, that coverage guaranteeing you'll have enough money to rebuild your house is disappearing? That's what my Allstate agent told me a few weeks ago, and I was floored. Isn't the main point of homeowner's insurance to ensure that you can replace your house should it burn down...
...like me, that buffer isn't enough. Estimated rebuilding costs vary widely, especially on an older home. My agent helped me come up with a figure. But if he's wrong and my house burns, I pay. Likewise, I'm responsible for getting the square footage right and valuing special things like the marble counter we put in. I raised my coverage by $71,000 to be safe. The good news is that I was able to offset the added premiums by raising deductibles. Do I really need this extra insurance? Do I want to sleep at night...
...chuckles to himself. "I do feel like I'm devolving a bit as I get older. When I was 25, I was writing sophisticated sketches on SNL. Ever since I started Conan, I've been really silly." And lucky. After The Dana Carvey Show tanked in 1996, Smigel had enough money saved to write only when inspiration struck. He salvaged his Ambiguously Gay Duo cartoon (about a superhero combo that is really close) from Carvey and started making episodes for SNL. That, and his work on Late Night as Triumph, the insult comic dog (whose catchphrase...
...juxtaposition of your article about the abuse of foster children with the one on the high-tech, billion-dollar telescopes seemed to show exactly what takes priority. We are willing to spend huge sums of money on space research but cannot find enough funds to keep our children from abuse, starvation and exploitation. But somehow money is found to finance prisons for the damaged survivors of our foster-care programs. As a society we have to reorganize our system to protect the future generations, or all that expensive space research will count for nothing and we will be lost...
...reflect his antihunter bias [STEVE LOPEZ'S AMERICA, Nov. 13]. As a hunter, I have no sympathy for poachers. But I object to Lopez's silly and inaccurate description of events. How can he claim to be "deep, deep in the woods" when he's near enough to see a pickup-truck driver on the road? Perhaps Lopez has never been in woods deeper than Central Park. The real issue, however thinly veiled, is his distaste for anyone who hunts or is a member of the National Rifle Association. I would prefer not to live in "Steve Lopez's America...
