...rich, cantankerous old man (Andy Griffith, and welcome back to him) who takes a shine to Jenna. I'm not at all certain that the matches Shelly arranges for Jenna's fellow waitresses (one of them ends up with a poetry-spouting accountant, the other with the diner's surly cook-manager) are made in heaven, and I'm equally dubious about the soft landing the movie finally arrives...

...justification. Examples of the City’s historic hostility and distrust toward its sizable collegial constituency—which in 2000 made up 15 percent of its total population—abound. For instance, the city has granted exactly one after-hours license—to a diner that does not serve alcohol past 1 a.m.—and shutters its subway system not long after midnight.

There's also the excitement that goes with being the first woman to have a real shot at a major party's presidential nomination, which means that at places like the Drake Diner in Des Moines, people brought their daughters to have their pictures taken with her. After her first big rally, at East High School in Des Moines, Clinton hung around for nearly an hour so that every one of the 2,600 people there could have a handshake and a photo...

...know, just thinking about it, the other thing, have you ever been to the Drake Diner? Well, every time I'm in Des Moines, which has only been -what? -like three times in the last seven or eight years, but every time I go, I go to the Drake Diner, because it has great chocolate milkshakes, which this is like the only place that I have one. And I was sitting in a booth there, and I was so touched by all the people who came up-this was before I had done anything; this was Friday night around...
