...thing was over. Too short, too many 50-buck hair styles (I'm applying for UC grant to start an Anti-Tendril Association), wayyyy too many freshmen... One of my friends spotted a poster for the College Democrats reading "What Would Harry Potter Do? Vote for Al Gore!" Ummm, hi? That's my slogan. And Harry Potter, even if he was old enough, would most certainly stay away from all things involving the American electorate... Remember last week I postulated that the reason Christina Aguilera canceled all her concerts was because she was smoking too much bud? Well, a friend...
...garage, that magnificent union of house's delicious divas and pristine hi-hats with jungle's breakbeats and primal bass. It's sexy, funky and smooth as hell.

His mother was remarried, to a volatile lawyer who beat Rich and broke her down into sad resignation. As he sought the escape of the theater, Rich's love of the stage flowered--abetted, ironically, by his stepfather, who subsidized...
...candidates did the roast-like Al Smith dinner--they separately taped halves of a conversation for an introduction to Sunday Nov. 5's Saturday Night Live's Presidential Bash 2000. Both played to their stereotypes not only on camera but off camera as well. After just one insipid sentence--"Hi, I'm Al Gore, Democratic candidate for President"--Gore began micromanaging. "I thought that line was out," he said. Meanwhile, Bush asked SNL writer Jim Downey to include even more malapropisms.
