ROFLMCO!

[Petronski]

Oh, definitely. Twice.

Tom, come up here to the current posts. You can go back and catch up later.

[weegee]

"Just put some ice on it". Who needs counselling when we had Clinton?

Angelina -would- be in the non-hideous category for me, but between the tattoo, the necklace and the glaring headlights, she lost it, by virtue of coming so close to looking awesome and yet still managing to show a hideous lack of class.

Do you really expect NO jokes about Bush. He's fair game. EVERY PRESIDENT is. Like I said before, they said far funnier things about Clinton's sexual escapades. Of course, we roared with delight.

[nutmeg]

It was $117 through last night.
Sunday's numbers weren't in yet.

Thanks, mabelkitty. We saw 'Passion' earlier today (it was amazing). I really wanted to add our dollars to this weekend's figures, just to help Mel out.

[rintense]

I completely missed the Mel joke with Robin Williams and Crystal.

[Houmatt]

Mel Gibson jab. What an asshole

[Trinity_Tx]

As traditional as I am, I kinda like it on her - no one else could do it, but it fits her style I think...

[hole_n_one]

[txhurl]

Roast Pot at mine!

[HairOfTheDog]

I hope you feel better for ranting..... but humor is better.

[mabelkitty]

Oh, no.
Robin Williams hamming it up.
Gay joke, great applause.
How 80s.

[Lil'freeper]

Williams and Crystal: San Francisco Wedding cake. *chortle*

[Political Junkie Too]

No. I bet that the faxed Talking Points were clearly to stay away from anything related to the Culture Wars for several reasons:

1. Janet Jackson's Breast Seen 'Round The World has ignited the Right in opposition.
2. SF Mayor Gavin Newsom's actions are forcing Democrats to take positions that they'd rather not have to go on the record taking.
3. Howard Stern's being dropped from many radio stations is a dramatic fallback from the Left's front-line position on the Culture War.
4. Mel Gibson's movie showed the strength of the opposition, and a strategic rethinking is taking place.

[Unknown Freeper]

Robin Williams doing a routine from twenty years ago.

[Lil'freeper]

Heh, at least he's lampooning the French.

easy laughs, but hey, it's the French.
