I'm the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's ambassador to the web. You've heard of a news hound? Well, I'm a bird. Also, I love puns. (Reblogs, likes and links are not endorsements.)

    Lights, camera, holiday action! • This year, the host with the most is Steven Spielberg. The biggest director in Hollywood history has two movies slated for the snowflake season: “War Horse,” adapted from a play about a battlefield stallion, and “The Adventures of Tintin,” based on the venerable comic strip about a Belgian boy reporter and filmed with the motion-capture animation technique used in “The Polar Express.” Joining Spielberg in the family-film free-for-all is fellow legend Martin Scorsese, the latter-day Scorsese David Fincher, and prestigious directors Lars von Trier, Clint Eastwood and Pedro Almodovar.

    Unhappy return • On a day when the Rams’ defense yielded a season-low 262 yards, and the Rams outgained Arizona by more than 2-to-1 on the ground and enjoyed a 12-minute edge in time of possession, they still found themselves on the wrong end of the scoreboard. Two colossal special team meltdowns turned what looked like a 16-13 victory in regulation into a 19-13 loss in overtime.

  10.   Birds of a feather • When I first nested here 110 years ago, St. Louis was not for the birds — at least, not yet. Sure, the eagles stopped by every winter, but they always mocked my jaunty bow tie and taste in footwear. Finally, I found friends in Fredbird, the raptors of the World Bird Sanctuary and fowl of Shaw Nature Reserve. These days, we’re everywhere — in fiction, in the movies, in a gorgeous new education center and, occasionally, the rafters of Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. My featherless colleagues at Go! magazine offer a variety of places to enjoy my friends and me in our natural habitat.
