I haven’t weighed in on the New Yorker cover that caused such a stir yesterday. I don’t know, spiders were eating on my foot and I was a bit distracted. My first thought was pretty much what Joe Lance wrote about. I thought of the Tennessee GOP and how Bill Hobbs’ recent actions have formed some of this. Did I see the satire? Yes I did. Did I think it was funny? No, not really. Lucille Ball also doesn’t...

By Kenrick Cleveland "Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people who do.

I have had a major jones for Téa Leoni since back in the day when she was "the next Lucille Ball" on her show The Naked Truth and learned that she was pretty much a scratch golfer. The fact that Mrs. Fox Mulder is now 42 and doesn't quite bring it the way she once did is clouded by these memories so I see as much sexier than you probably will.
