...What the TiVoistas are secretly hoping is that Microsoft's recent entry into their turf will indirectly aid them. Redmond has the deep pockets to spend on ads that explain how a PVR works - ones much more direct and widely broadcast than TiVo's too-clever-by-half "male itch" ads. But Ultimate TV is still in its buggy and relatively featureless infancy; as with all Microsoft products, it's best to wait for version 2.0. So if the ads feed a need but discerning consumers try out both systems when they actually get to the store, TiVo wins. Right...
...tired, uninventive romantic film plot is born when a happily married architect celebrating 25 years of bliss suddenly catches the seven-year itch. In Town and Country, Porter Stoddard (Warren Beatty) is every post-menopausal woman’s dream husband. He’s rich and successful, not too handsome to be dangerous and blessed with an adorable charm.

Christopher, like Gore used to, is talking up the next-year "itch" as something Bush doesn't want either - "wouldn't it be tragic if at some later time, these votes were counted and..." The new Gore bogeyman is a post-inaugural hand count by the media, via the Sunshine Law. (For good reason - the Miami Herald, in Sunday's paper, modeled a 23,000-vote victory...
...fifth the original size. And the name was downgraded from "President's palace" to "the President's House." A few years after its completion, the no-nonsense Americans were calling it as they saw it--the White House. Still, George Washington, with a lingering bit of the kingly itch, made sure the house would be grand enough for the Chief Executive of the new Republic. Even the ascetic New Englander John Adams, the new nation's second President and the first in residence at the White House, wanted a touch of majesty. "Neither dignity, nor authority," he wrote...
