SPY vs. LIE

By

It's lunchtime for the Senators who are questioning Mr. Gonzales and why I'd love to do a recap I have to admit that others have done such a good job it's just stupid for me to try. I can give my interpretation of Gonzales' "testimony:"

"This program is legal because of the terrorist attacks of 9/11."

That's it. That pretty much sums up his argument. But if the program is legal:

1. Why did they have to hide it?

2. Why are they referencing Presidents who made such executive decisions as validation, when a majority of them made their decisions before the FISA law?

3. Why don't they change FISA so they can do "surveillance" with no fuss?

4. Why are so many past politicians and legal scholars disagreeing with Gonzales' analysis?

5. And finally: why can't they show some kind of proof that this is working? That this program is catching terrorists, not enemies of the President or people who have dissenting views? Proof would quiet this whole ordeal rather quickly.

I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. 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

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

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
