...tagged with bringing the cold-blooded Coelho aboard. Coelho, after all, is a ferocious partisan, who took no prisoners in the Reagan years and resigned from Congress in 1989 rather than face questions about how he came to purchase on favorable terms a $100,000 junk bond from a Democratic donor. Gore is stalked by campaign-finance ghosts of his own, and so it will look a bit better if Coelho turns out to be Tipper's idea...

There is also the Lucas who wants to dazzle filmgoers with his luxurious bestiary. The Gungan klutz Jar Jar Binks, who talks (sometimes unintelligibly) like a Muppet Peter Lorre and walks as if he had Slinkys for legs, is more annoying than endearing.

...like "Help! They Mangled My Penis"--a graphically illustrated account of a man's horribly botched attempt at penile enlargement. I'd like to see a similar article entitled, "Revenge of the Silicon Breasts" to deter Pamela Lee Anderson wannabes. The fact is all of these magazines are just junk food for the brain. If they don't make you feel insecure about your height/weight/intellect, they waste your time with their inanity. Guys, welcome to our world. May you loath it as much as the next woman...
