...shows a complete lack of diversity. We seem to be doing fine in the grain department-indeed, choosing whether to toast a bagel, a muffin, white bread or multi-grain has left us chasing the shuttle on many early morns. And the spectrum of vegetables isn't poorly represented either-imagine, butternut squash and snow peas on the same night...
...making that idiotic pass during the closing credits? It goes to show that we all need a little bit of risk, a few surprises here and there. Though most mainstream films may pander to our expectations, there's always that occasional standout that is either more than we expected or changes what we expect.

It might ?- after all, it was fear of getting outmaneuvered again by Clinton that pushed Speaker Hastert into his compromise effort. But Denny really can?t win either way. Give in, and it?s the leadership left holding the bag while Democrats declare victory. Push though the weaker bill, and Clinton and the Democrats blame the majority and ride the populist patients-rights sentiment all the way to the 2000 polls. Either way, expect somethingto be ready for the Senate...
