@gala11

Good for you. I'm writing in Ethel Merman.

Let's return to Rome

And ask the real question: Can this rebellion at the gates, this challenge, this changing of the guard be quelled? Can this Sparticus be stopped? Are Rome's sacred traditions to be trampled upon by a renegade army of slavish Obamaites? What would our Caesar say, he of of the burning Bush? Who will rid us of this medling Illinoian upstart? Clinton could not accomplish the deed. His camp grows ever nearer, we live in a republic of McCainical fear~!

Uh huh huh huh..

Judd Apatow is soooo cuuul...

Wednesday, August 6, 2008 11:05 AM

Scratch the giant inflated Easter Bunnies

Giant inflated sky blue pantsuits is the way to go.

Wednesday, August 6, 2008 11:13 AM

Just for the record

I'll be partyin' like it's 1999!

Why did Apatow cop out?

He could of combined this movie with the American Pie francise and called it American Pineapple!

Looks like an interesting read.

@lbrophy

I don't know, but I feel it my duty to parade off my booty. I'll be there with bells on in my best blue pantsuit, and when you see me out there you'll be sayin', "don't that dude look cute."

I'm not into Manic Pixie Dream Girls

I'm into the African American variant, The Might Isis Nubian Princess Soul Sister. I know, that's a mouthful.

Hey Shapiro

If you're tired of the tedium, turn off the tube, and switch to a new medium.

I'm burned out by the round the clock PUMA cat fight over here at Salon, which is very quickly becoming a daily mud fight, in a very marginal little pond.

"The Natalie Portman problem"

I can see how Portman might have a problem, she's anorexic thin, has a flat personality, and probably one of her most treasured faetures are her enormous eyes, that always look like two pools of anguished adolescent pain, eyes that widen as she whines..

Portman does have a problem. Being typecast, cos I can't stand her.

I tell ya I'm fed up with

The opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one, punditry of the PUNDITOCRACY.

Wednesday, August 6, 2008 10:56 PM

I think if "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" and "The Pineapple Express" were combined you'd have a super summer movie winner.

And I'd probably call it "Pineapple in My Pants."

Thanks for clearin' that up Carol.

I suck at being uppity? So these are areas I need to work on..that is..I mean, my uppitiness?

@Slackie

I'd like to cut Portman a little bit of slack, but I too am put off by the fact, that the girl cannot act.

And that's the truth Ruth.

I always knew that the only oxygen Edward's brain actually ever really recieved was the hot air that was pushed by his electric hair dryer. Now he has a secret "love child." Would I surprised if he did? Hardly.

Apart from this dull discussion on the same 'ol same, I clicked on your screen name, and what I read where it at once led me, was for a refreshing change - not lame.

Who IS this Brooks dude? I mean is he the presiding king of the old New York WASP establishment? I mean is he one of these WASPs of a wing who all have their own thing?

All the humor that's the very best, delivers the truth, in the gist of its jest.

"Salon the Parody"

I like it.

Jan Hooks is still around. She was just recently in the movie "Southland Tales," and had a large part in it.

Thursday, August 7, 2008 09:32 AM

@lateagain

So you're saying among the democrats who supported Clinton in the primary, that there is already a built in audience for McCain's pitch, which borrows big from Clinton's book.

I'm very glad to see that a fool's wit is your kind of bit.

Thursday, August 7, 2008 10:29 AM

bearpoint1

You make some good points. Obama emphasised participatory democracy all during the primary, I think that message should gain more momentum pronto. It was that momentum that got people who never voted in their lives up off their asses and active in the process of voting and getting behind his campaign. We'll see what happens. Somethings in the works.

Far be it from me to jib jab at jeb

But she sure does have a powerful pride.

Thursday, August 7, 2008 11:13 AM

@jeb

Making Hillary VP would appease a lot of people who supported her in the primary, but it would not please the public at large. She would be the biggest liability to winning that Obama could bring on himself.
