I Kind of Love This Campaign

Jeesh! This Must Stink Cuz Jones Even Liked Legally Blonde!
The Trib's Chris Jones generally avoids out-andout nastiness in his reviews. Being British, he can manage to call a piece of theater a piece of shit but make it sound like it was served on a silver platter. Not so with this one:
"... ill-founded, ill-prepared and thorough[ly] pathetic...noxious, witless attraction...waste of time...the cast, whose improvisational skills are vastly inferior to the computerized voice who delivers flight times for United Airlines...take this stupid show with them and never darken our galaxy again..."
Rock on.

Where the Money Goes...
What a complete effing shock! You mean to tell me, O' venerable WaPO, that the Health Insurance Industry is spending a ton of dough to block the Public Option Plan?
The hirings are part of a record-breaking influence campaign by the health-care industry, which is spending more than $1.4 million a day on lobbying in the current fight, according to disclosure records. And even in a city where lobbying is a part of life, the scale of the effort has drawn attention. For example, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) doubled its spending to nearly $7 million in the first quarter of 2009, followed by Pfizer, with more than $6 million.Gee. I thought all that money they made went to R & D and that these guys would go out of business if there was a public option (something that 72% of Americans WANT TO HAVE.) I don't know about you, but whenever a huge conglomerate of corporations spend this kind of cabbage to block legislation, I can't help but think that there might be some merit to that legislation. Let's hope the administration has the balls to make sure -- Wha?? Fuck did you say??

21 of 43 Years? Holy Shit!
I've bitched about not being single for the last 22 years but I feel like a complete whiny douche now.
Honestly? I'm not gonna be able to listen to any complaints about being jobless, needing a therapist, or how tough it is not having life-satisfaction from fucking anyone for at least a week.Ronald Kitchen has spent 21 of his 43 years in Illinois prisons, but late this afternoon, Kitchen, was set free.
He said: "For twenty one years, somebody's been telling me when to take a bath, when to eat, when to go outside Marvin Reeves was also released. He said: "It's definitely good to be out."
The two men were convicted for the 1988 murders of two women and three children, aged two through five, the victims suffocated or beaten before their house was set on fire.
This morning, a judge ordered new trials for both and the Illinois Attorney General then conceded there was insufficient evidence to support the charges. So both men walked free.
Kitchen said: "I never gave up hope. That's the last thing."

I will relay your love of the "B Holes" campaign to Justin and Brian, who do this campaign.
They always get a kick out of web feedback
So "the best kind of holes, money can buy" are:
A - Congressmen
B - Lobbyists
The guy asking folks about the hole preference? That's my friend Timmy Horner. We used to do funny make-em-ups together in college (well, he was getting his MFA and I was in undergrad. but still.).
