Yeah, I played the pity role. I said why me? I know that when I went to practice, I was running slow. I was running times that were like college times, high school times, while trying to get back into the groove again. I'm an indicator runner - meaning, every time I run a 150m in 14.9 seconds, it's 'OK, I'm ready.'

I like the new movie, within reason; the question that nags at me is whether the film, appearing during this slow patch in Allen's career, is the beneficiary of our diminished expectations...
...heart, right down to my toes. And I said, "That's our next president." I said it right then. "That is our next president." Bush and Cheney - they've got more evidence to impeach these guys than they had with Nixon. Don't worry, the wheels of justice grind slow, but exceedingly fine...
