...find out how Obama can save himself before it's too late, I consulted the reigning geek of our time, John Hodgman, who plays PC in the Apple ads and wrote a new book called More Information Than You Require. Hodgman thinks that while the Urkel effect hurt Al Gore and John Kerry, America's lack of desire to drink even a malty Belgian beer with Obama will actually help him. "After eight years of jocklike bluster, Obama's technician's calm seems extra-attractive," says Hodgman, who believes that jocks vs. geeks has replaced red vs. blue...
Before John Hodgman became a Daily Show correspondent and the physical embodiment of a PC computer, he enjoyed a bookish life as a freelance writer and author of fake trivia. His second book, More Information Than You Require, contains factually incorrect passages about U.S. Presidents, gambling, and the secret underground world of mole-men.

(You should be able to guess Act Three from here.) So she engages Angie Ostrowiski (Amy Poehler), a white-trashy girl from the nearby town of Dreery, to be the child?s surrogate mother...
...father worked survive. For the school scenes of Lockie Leonard, there are also more extras than you can poke a stick at. Willingly confined to a classroom and wearing their own uniforms on a sunny afternoon during their holidays, kids let loose with hormones and havoc as director Roger Hodgman reins in this largely local and inexperienced cast. "They're terrific," he says...
