Although, seriously, I really need to stop apologizing for liking those two guys. They're <i>classics</i>! <br/><br/>One thing's for sure: this is going to be the <i>most</i> awesome Democratic race in, oh, years and years. Even more so than 1992, I daresay. <i>Finally</i>, a slate of candidates I can get excited about!<br/><br/>And I'm shocked McCain won in SC, not because I don't like him, but rather because I lived in SC in 2000 and remember the brutal campaign there. Well, actually it wasn't as bad as everyone says it was but still a pretty notorious time. Columbia can be fairly liberal at times, but rural SC is notoriously conservative, so for McCain to win was an eye-opener.<br/><br/>Salut,<br/>Marjorie Dear Randal, well, you’re talking to a girl who loves loves loves Hall & Oates.

And I’m shocked McCain won in SC, not because I don’t like him, but rather because I lived in SC in 2000 and remember the brutal campaign there. Well, actually it wasn’t as bad as everyone says it was but still a pretty notorious time. Columbia can be fairly liberal at times, but rural SC is notoriously conservative, so for McCain to win was an eye-opener.

You're 100% correct in that it's eliminating that lunatic, now we just need something else to eliminate the rest! Cutting edge?

Well, you might actually like <i>Fly</i>. You seem more attuned to cutting-edge art and music than I -- especially the music part -- and might appreciate the juxtaposition of fashion and music in a way that I can't seem to beyond Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez. <br/><br/>Netflix is amazing. It's changed my life. It's the best thing to happen to me since, well, <i>birth</i>. <br/><br/>Having said that, it's also a time-sucker. I have about 399 films in my queue, and I add to it almost <i>daily</i>. It's like you and your music -- films are a fascinating medium to me, and I treat Netflix like one big, endless smorgasbord. <br/><br/>Gosh, did you just say that you might actually do something <i>Dubya</i> suggested?<br/><br/>BTW, have you seen the new Rudy ad? I just saw mention of it on Talking Points. "When the world wavered, and history hesitated, Rudy never did." **Choke gag spit ** Gee, it's nice to know that 9/11 finally served <i>some</i> useful purpose: to save a rapidly sinking ship known as the SS Giulani. God help us.<br/><br/>Salut,<br/>Marjorie Bonjour, Randal! Well, you might actually like Fly. You seem more attuned to cutting-edge art and music than I — especially the music part — and might appreciate the juxtaposition of fashion and music in a way that I can’t seem to beyond Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez.

Netflix is amazing. It’s changed my life. It’s the best thing to happen to me since, well, birth.

Having said that, it’s also a time-sucker. I have about 399 films in my queue, and I add to it almost daily. It’s like you and your music — films are a fascinating medium to me, and I treat Netflix like one big, endless smorgasbord.

Gosh, did you just say that you might actually do something Dubya suggested?

BTW, have you seen the new Rudy ad? I just saw mention of it on Talking Points. “When the world wavered, and history hesitated, Rudy never did.” **Choke gag spit ** Gee, it’s nice to know that 9/11 finally served some useful purpose: to save a rapidly sinking ship known as the SS Giulani. God help us.

Salut,
Marjorie

“Me fail English? That’s unpossible!”

And probably shut it off within 15 minutes. ;-) I couldn’t help but think of the liner notes to the remastered version of Who’s Next where they talked about Townsend’s idea for some revolutionary art thing (the aborted Lifehouse project that became this album) but then figured how a bunch of songs and a film could transform anything.
