...nerd-meets-girl, nerd-gets-girl story, laced throughout with sex, sex, sex. But no skin flick here. Just innuendo and a good-taste-be-damned-scene staged inside a woman's vagina. Plenty of condoms, plenty of high school bullies and ever-short-skirted cheer-leaders, and of course, a girls' locker room shower scene...
...liberals, there has been little to cheer about the current Supreme Court term since Clarence Thomas took his place on the bench in November. Especially in the area of criminal procedure and individual rights, the Rehnquist court has been predictably conservative in its approach.

To have a truly interactive town meeting, however, a number of technical barriers must still be hurdled. And even if that happens, it is not at all clear that the result will be any way to run a country...
