The ultimate fictional John Kerry quote: "I'm proud of doing something I'm ashamed of." .... His protests were pretty well documented after the war, and I think we'd all agree that he promoted the fact that he was in Vietnam... I don't really see the fiction in the claim.

Yeah, then he came back and protested it, only to use it for his own political gain a few dozen years later. He was decorated w/ Purple Hearts, too. But he misplaced them, somewhere...

Its important for a candidate to seem normal to get elected, because voters like people they are comfortable with. But wouldn't it be nice if elections were decided on issues, leadership ability, and intellect, rather than who can seem the most like a "regular guy"? Yeah, it would. In a perfect world that's the way it would be. We'd also all be communists and have Jennifer Love Hewitt as our wife. Alas... she escapes me.

I'm glad I misunderstood you, then, because I was afraid you didn't think it was important for a candidate to seem normal.

Oh, so close but so far... I bet you didn't know he speaks French, too.

You don't know much about politics and elections, do you?

Just awful.

Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You for the Last Time ($6) Troy The Notebook (V-Day present)

MacGyver.

Could you specify what you mean a bit? Are you asking us to name films that feature both violence & religion, or what? Yeah. I'm running low on ideas. I want to show these films, and I would very much appreciate suggestions for movies that have violence w/ religious ties.

I used to love the Celtics. Now I just feel bad for them.

That was my problem. It was billed to me as the single greatest film I'd ever see, and it ruined it for me. Had it not been built up so much, I probably would've liked it more.

The only person I can see ending Taker's streak is Trips or HBK. Something tells me that when Taker is about to retire, HHH will ask Vinny Mac if he can end it.

Yikes! It was a joke, fellas. No need to get all flustered. In actuality, I stopped listening once I met the guy in a private setting. Before he won the nomination, he was campaiging in my home town. My mom was a local gov't official and I was able to meet/chat with him. Frankly, he was not impressive.

The seventh spot on the card is going to some lame ass Divas thing.

He was too busy "reporting for duty" to actually say anything. I stopped listening when he tried to be a Red Sox fan and made reference to "Manny Ortez."

Thank God for Trish Stratus, and thank God her lip is okay. And to reiterate what somebody said- the whole jealousy angle is by far the lamest angle they can take. Everybody in their right mind knows that if Trish wanted to do Playboy, it would be better then Chyna, maybe better then Torrie Wilson, and definitely better then Hemme.

Anyone for a Trish/Lita Wildthings parody?

The highest regard I've seen for the man came when he was put on a list of the top 100 intellectuals in America, and that was predominantly for his work w/ linguistics. If I recall, he was toward the bottom, if anyone is interested. Side-bar: We were talking today in one of my lectures about his theory that all languages are extremely similar and simple in structure when broken down, and that is why infants can pick up a language quickly. Something about the way the human brain is wired to interpret and understand SVO. Interesting stuff.

Somehow I don't see any major changes happening. Remember what happened the last time they had a lottery, that was going to "shake the very foundation of WWE?" We had moves like Tajiri and Nidia. If memory serves me correctly, the biggest star to move was Booker T. I just don't see them making major changes this time around.

Why are we arguing what is and what is not porn? What's the point? The moral of the story is that Vince hired chicks who get naked- love it or hate it.

True. I guess I was being naive.

It's too bad we don't see more governments based on proportional representation. I think that might help ease a lot of pain.

Eddie? Rey? Kurt? If they turned Jericho heel, I'd watch Smackdown again. Anyway- the only thing RVD and Jericho have in common is that they'll never really get higher then the IC title while HHH/HBK are in town.

/me crosses fingers that Jericho will get shipped to Smackdown w/o HHH
