She has fun with a part that lets her talk at length about the various penises she has encountered and that requires her to say "I've tasted my menstrual blood!" on more than one occasion.

But even so, the findings of fact that Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson handed down were stunning in their breadth and their certainty: a blunt 412-paragraph j'accuse that nails Microsoft not only on the two most critical issues--that it has monopoly control over PC operating systems and that it wields that power in ways that harm American consumers--but on virtually every count brought against...
