I wonder about that, too, Banmar, as there is a Flying J near my home. I actually see Hubbard's books in many Dollar General-esque discount stores, too. I suspect they're just cheap to purchase in bulk and people buy them expecting normal old self-help.

In Other News,
… Rachael Ray was simultaneously hit in the face by hot ham water.

Is it a gay steel mill, Repo?

Brosepf of Arimathea, Jesus's bosom bro, Bender.

If I had been asked this question prior to 2002, I would've said Wes is the better filmmaker, but P.T. has eclipsed him. And We hasn't made anything as great as Talk to…

I think Noel has it, for reasons I explained in the last thread. The last third is critical to understanding what the film is trying to say and to understanding its central character. I think it's Apatow's best movie by far and one of the best of the decade. …Still not as good as Superbad, though.
