[Laura Earl]

I always thought Ashley was a wimpy girly-man. My best friend growing up always thought he was the hottest and Rhett was a cad. Well, she grew up and is now on her second marriage, and both have been wimps. Some people just have no taste!

Hillary is tacitly running in 2004. If Californication goes for Arnold, and the economy turns around the demoncraps will lose this big block of votes in 2008. She must go for it now. Watch for the divorce this fall.

[Lazamataz]

Actually, no, I don't. Two disease-ridden ego freaks doing unnatural things?

Well, okay, that sounds like my bedroom on any given weekend, but still.

[Lazamataz]

If Californication goes for Arnold, and the economy turns around the demoncraps will lose this big block of votes in 2008.

Yes.

No.

I disagree about the divorce. Look at the negatives Bill brings to the table and look at what she will gain (sympathy) by divorcing him. Also they seem split on what to do in Californication. Then you have little Billy and all the trouble he could get 'into' in the next 15 months...

Bill has to go.
