"Take My Liberties, Please"

The thing that makes me upset about this "it's OK to spy on Americans without a warrant" thing is that instead of giving the American people a concise and comprehensive explanation on why it's legal, the Bush Administration just uses the "well, the other Presidents before Bush did it " logic.

I think Al Gore's speech on Monday really set the tone. He managed to put the issue in a context that Joe Citizen could understand. President Bush and his people had the opportunity to react with reasoning and logic of their own.

Well, they squandered it. Instead, they attack the messenger (again) instead of debating the message. And as usual, their attempts to do so backfire in the face of facts and reality.

Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
