Hey, Penn:

Magician Penn Jillette a father to Moxie CrimeFighter
NEW YORK — Comedian/magician Penn Jillette's has a new sidekick — a baby girl.
Jillette, 50, and his wife Emily, 39, welcomed 6-pound, 6-ounce Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette on Friday, according to publicist Glenn Schwartz. It was the first child for the couple, who married last year.
"We chose her middle name because when she's pulled over for speeding she can say, 'But officer, we're on the same side,'" Jillette explained. "'My middle name is CrimeFighter.'"
His show sidekick — the typically mute Teller — had no comment on the new arrival.
Penn & Teller currently star in their own series on Showtime, and headline nightly in Las Vegas at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino
Penn is a self avowed libertarian, atheist, and secularist. He's a nice guy, but don't get the idea that he's conservative. He really isn't. He sort of models himself on The Amazing Randy (who I believe he said is one of his "heros"). He does not believe in anything that smacks of "the supernatural," and that includes religion.
BTW, even though he's of a libertarian bent, he has NEVER done drugs or gotten drunk, and will tell you that he's never had a drink. Though he believes that if you're dumb enough to do that to yourself, you have to pay the price.

He's not all bad, but not as Conservative as I'd like. He devoted a half-hour on his Bull$hit! show ripping apart the leftism disease on college campuses and shredded Noam Chomsky. Great stuff.
Six was hot, though. ;o)
Hey, Penn:
Well, I was thinking more of the middle name "Crimestopper".
Yup. He's very libertarian.
I suspect that's not really the name on the birth certificate.
That is SO mean!
You mean Seven ;) _______________________________________________
JERRY: Seven? Yeah, I guess I could see it. Seven. Seven periods of school, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches a beating, and eventually seven years to life. Yeah, you're doing that child quite a service.
GEORGE: (adamant) Yes I am. I defy you to come up with a better name than Seven.
Jerry walks toward the kitchen. He sees an item on the counter.
JERRY: Awright, let's see. How about Mug? (picks up the mug) Mug Costanza, that's original. (he turns and sees another item) Or uh, Ketchup? Pretty name for a girl.
GEORGE: Alright, you having a good time there?
Jerry is in the kitchen, and opens a cupboard. His eyes run over the array of good within.
JERRY: I got fifty right here in the cupboard. How about Bisquik? Pimento. Gherkin. Sauce. Maxwell House.
GEORGE: (shouts) Awright already!! This is a very key issue with me, Jerry. I had this name for a long time.
6 or 7.....whatever it takes. Thanks for the correction!
