...that not since Robin Williams in Aladdin has an actor so deliciously appropriated a movie. Whether he's fending off the sudden amorous attentions of Fiona's dragon, proposing an evening of man-to-man conversation with Shrek--to be followed by a waffle breakfast he's willing to whip up--or dealing with a twitching eye brought on by his many stressful adventures, no one has ever made a funnier jackass of himself than Murphy...

...control that works with a whole range of appliances--TVs, VCRs, stereos, satellite dishes, what have you--instead of just one. It will also handle devices from any manufacturer.

...arrived yet; the Senate is working from the guidelines passed by the House - compared with the similarly new Clinton administration's in 1993. (That budget passed 51-50 with Al Gore's vote, if you'll recall, and worked out rather well for the White House.) And the minority whip reminded the gathering that the Democrats alone had 120 amendments in the wings - wouldn't everybody rather do this after Easter...
