No cable tv in your cave?

He's also an author of several books on politics, a pitchman for eye drops, a former Nixon press aide and a law school professor at Pepperdine, IIRC.

Now, see, I knew all that other stuff (except the eye-drop schilling), how did I not know about "voooo-doooo economics"?

It must be the no tv in my cave thing (I'm not sure I get that -- was that some sort of Flinstones reference?)

She's not bad. And I'm so glad that Lauryn Williams recovered from the breakup of the Fugees and found a satisfying outlet in the 200m dash.

Recently, I mentioned bay area band Rogue Wave as worth seeing. For those who have itunes, they're certainly worth a listen as you can download their song "Kicking the Heart Out" for free this week.

Str8 can also see them September 4th at Amoeba Records in Hollywood. They'll be on tour with Guster in Texas pre-ACL.

Oh, and Neko Case signed with Anti Records. Live album this fall, studio album early 2005.

Note to self: Do not attempt to make fact-specificish posts while simultaneously playing internet poker and eating a baked potato.

He got the speechwriting gig after a Passover seder with Nixon speechwriter William Safire. This story would have been funnier it he got the job after a Passover seder with Nixon speechwriter Pat Buchanan or Nixon speechwriter John McLaughlin.

Considering what these men went on to accomplish after their West Wing tenure, Peggy Noonan should be embarrassed to have accomplished merely the vigorous humping of Reagan's corpse, and Rob Lowe should be embarrassed about nearly everything.

That ain't it. The Flintstones had tv and they lived in a house.

...but besides being an incredibly graceful runner, Allyson Felix (200M Silver Medalist) is quite attractive:



And she doesn't have the freakish sprinter body. Yet.

She has a wide unattractive nose with flared nostrils.

Ankur Gupta speaks.

• "I've never left a voice mail like that before," he said, further noting that all but the original recipient lacked the context in which it was left.

USA Today's nifty "Ego Test" helps us determine if we're really born salespeople, just wasting our lives in the empty husks of lawyerdom.

Reading this test, Sebby, I thought of you.

For myself, I had a hard time answering many of these in the affirmative (except, of course, "Others can sense my power.")

• It's not a long leap from savvy salesman to psychopath. Take this quiz to see if you have the self worth to make it big in business - or if your narcissism could help land you in jail.
  
  Answer true or false and score one point for each true answer:
  1. I love it when the phones are ringing and decisions must be made.
  2. Other people find me attractive.
  3. As a child, people always told me I was cute.
  4. Audiences love me.
  5. I can take this company to the next level.
  6. I never worry about my mistakes.
  7. Other people find me fascinating.
  8. I can talk people out of anything.
  9. I can get this country moving again.
  10. Other people can't get enough of me.
  11. Others can sense my power.
  12. People often come to me for advice.
  13. I can talk my way out of anything.
  14. I never worry about my past mistakes.
  15. I would like to be a professional gambler.
  16. I can easily pretend to be someone else.
  
  
  Add up the number of true responses. What your score means:
  0 to 4: You're too modest - be more of a self promoter!
  5 to 8: You have a reasonable level of confidence.
  9 to 12: You're getting into dangerous emotional territory.
  13 to 16: You could be palling around with the Enron guys in the prison soon.

The last line of the article originally read, pre-edit, ""I actually feel bad for Ankur," he giggled."

Your link to the Mcpaper website led to my reading a story about paparazzi pursuing Britney, from which I learned that Britney goes into public restrooms in bare feet (and props those nasty feet up on the dash while a passenger in her car), and that her fiance led paparazzi on a 90 mph chase in Britney's Mercedes SUV while his 2-year-old child was riding in the back seat.

What a couple of losers. Appalling, really, that photographs of these people, who as a couple will, I fear, severely diminish the quality of the American gene pool, sell for tens of thousands of dollars and make paparazzi scum rich.

My favorite part of the story was where the paparazzo scum calls Federline a "chump."
