...them--the Kingston Trio--like Folksmen, the depressingly uplifting "neuftet" New Main Street Singers (with John Michael Higgins, Jane Lynch and Parker Posey) and the duo Mitch & Mickey (Levy and Catherine O'Hara)--persist in believing, as show people must, that they somehow mattered.

The next one expected to go, probably next month, is the head of Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, Glenn Hubbard, who wants to return to teaching.

Such is the torment I must endure every time I see pilgrims who look just like me. This is beyond the coincidence that your roommate looks just like Scarlet O’Hara, because unlike your no-talent ass-clown of a roommate I have a deeper connection. I was born on Thanksgiving.
