...making no money. We agreed - my girlfriend Alice and I - to take some pictures in the deluxe wing of the Paramount. We knew women could do Playboy and that might lead to a career in theater, film. I thought I would try it out and at least get some kind of exposure, pardon the pun. So my girlfriend took the photographs and sent them to Playgirl.

Early on in the 2008 primaries, it became clear that there just weren't many real issues dividing the candidates. Nearly everyone wanted to roll back Bush's tax cuts, establish some kind of national health-care system, withdraw from Iraq and work more closely with allies around the world.
