Sort of a lateral move, that one. I never found either of them anything other than hopelessly bland and boring-looking. I guess I’m just not gay enough to understand the subtle magic of a princess…

That’s what you think. Rich just backhanded me because the latte I brought him had nutmeg sprinkles ontop of the low-cal, whipped creme when he swears he told me he wanted cinnamon.

Good point, Eric.

And Prince Charles cheated on Diana with Camilla Parker-Boyles.

Think we just watched Tiger Woods pull something in the blonde vein, Kit. What an assjack. Him, not you.

Of course, I think THE GOOD WIFE is unrealistic, no man with any sort of grasp of reality would ever cheat on his wife if his wife was Julianna Margulies.

DAMN!

Oh, and having seen only 15 minutes of THE GOOD WIFE, I can say that it does a good job putting a very human face on the people affecting by the Elliot Spitzer-esque scandals.

Just finished watching ALFIE (The Sir Michael Caine one). Great movie. One of those “should be required viewing” films.

Am watching THE GOOD WIFE on CBS.com after hearing what Schussel had to say about it featuring a liberal RASCIST judge.

Floyd, if you’re willing to write this stuff out, I might want to add some of it to my amendments.

Veruckt – in no way does the Electoral College discourage voters. Everyone votes, majority wins the state. Majority of electors wins the country. How is that discouraging anyone? If anything, it encourages voters because it means that Wyoming’s total voting (3) is 1/18th of California’s (55). If it was a direct vote, on the other hand, a vote in Wyoming would only count for 1/23rd of a vote in California, based on population (Because California’s population is 23 times greater than Wyoming.)

My point is that a direct election would actually be LESS equitable than this system.

Unless, of course, you want to get rid of the states themselves, of course, in which case Darth Sideous will call you a “Statist.”

No offense to Rich, for whom I’m as excited about his new side-gigs as anyone except maybe Mrs. Trooper (hey, Rich, maybe Big Hollywood will give YOU a contributor slot), but as a former Hollywood P.A., I’ve dealt with egos far more out of control than his playful one.
