For a moment, just a moment there, I thought Hal Holbrook was Phillip Drummen and that they were married in real life as well as on Dif'rent Strokes.

Never realized she was a conservative, especially in light of her character on DW. Any known instances of her being really against what she was spouting as the character?

It takes a special level of geekdom to look at the Eisner nominee list and be able to determine that it's 2009's list, not 2010's.

I don't remember Hitler offering Health Insurance
But, then what do I know.

Some Thoughts On The Above
Tasha - I definitely got a Robbins vibe off this book. Also Joseph Heller, particularly from Closing Time (his Catch 22 sequel). However, I reacted better to both of those authors' humor (i.e. I laughed).

How much does Sparks weigh? Maybe he meant "greater" in the sense that he's fatter.

I'm In The Not Funny Camp
I would say this book was "trying to be funny" but it didn't really cross the hump into actually being funny for me.

Wow, Farmer John. You nailed it. I agree with everything you're saying here, especially when you say the Theistic creeds were just clumsy regurgitation.

Hot Hot Hot!
I think it's pretty "S"-exy for them to be putting two hot chicks on the cover kissing. Rawr.

It seems weird that they don't trust her to do it alone
She can still read, right? I mean, you tell her to stand on her mark and read from the teleprompter just like every other host.

Gordon Jump episode of Diff Strokes was also the first show and ep that came to mind. Just want to put that out there.

I hated last year's Oscars
Seriously, worst one I've ever seen. Also generally disliked the ones that Whoopi Goldberg was hosting as well.

@Eric, I for one would like to see Sandra Bullock and Christoph Waltz paired together in a romantic comedy. Maybe as their award winning characters?

You have the right to remain silent.
The right to a court-appointed attorney.
You have the right to sing the blues.
You have the right to cable TV.
You have the right to sublet.
You have the right to paint the walls.
No loud colors.

@Senor Ding Dong, You mean academy award nominee, William Zabka.

Whoa. Not that great to begin with?
Come on. Karate Kid is classic. Jeez. Don't make me sweep your leg.
