Half of the fun of building these posts is these completely nonsensical groupings! 1859 Billy the Kid , outlaw. I've always thought it a mystery as to exactly why people routinely idolize characters whom they would never want to meet in real life. Murderers, criminals, thieves, (especially gangsters)...

Seems like today, everyone’s talking about the same few news items. I’d hate to be left out. * Adding to the endless speculation over who will be cast as whom in “Spiderman 4,” Nikki Finke enters the more or less pointless but, I suppose, fun fray by naming Anne Hathaway as having been “approached” for a [...]
