    Seriously, if a beauty pageant asks you who you'd like to have lunch with, the answer is always Jesus.

    Rounding out the Top Ten are Abe Lincoln, Oprah Winfrey, Ronald Reagan, Betsy Ross, your grandfather, Robert Pattinson, your grandmother, George Bush Sr., George Bush Jr., and that lady on the Supreme Court who achieved so much even if most of her views are wrong.

    Too many stories, to much to do before Thanksgiving, so I stopped at "West Wing actress"...

    She's not unknown to a West Wingnut like me. How I love to revisit my DVDs and hear the late, great John Spencer bellow from his desk, "MARGARET!" -- and NiCole Robinson would appear and be hilarious without fail.

    I read the dog story. I have no thoughts on it. And I will wait till New Moon is on cable to see it. But thank you for the Talking Heads clip. It reminds me that I have to replace my broken Stop Making Sense DVD...

    @unclevanya: OH. Wait. NiCole Robinson is Margaret? She's great! I still don't get why she's talking about J-Lo's dog, but she's awesome. They should've given her more scene with Lily Tomlin in the fourth season. And I stopped watching after that except for the last season.

    @Foster Kamer: My son has a wicked ear infection right now. He does have drops to pop in his ears for pain -- Auralgan is the brand name. The drops work quickly. There is an OTC drop that works a bit, but not at well as Auralgam: Similasan Homeopathic Ear Drops for pain.

    @Foster Kamer: There should be no issue to ask for a pain drop and get it. The Rx is a topical anesthetic so it isn't like codeine, oxy etc where you could get hooked.

    There are many different names for the benzocaine drop, but you want benzocaine. Benzocaine is the key.

    @momof3wildkids: Okay, so, update on The Great Gawker Weekend Ear Infection of 09: my local pharmacy (run by a bunch of Italian brothers, who diagnose most illnesses with "HA: Pussy.") told me I definitely need an Rx for Auralgan, so I had to buy this shit in the mean time:

    [www.similasanusa.com]

    Mind you, I've never purchased a homeopathic product in my life. This is a first. Desperate times. Also, I walked there at an angle. That was strange.

    @Foster Kamer: Yep, I've used it before. According to my son Patch, it doesn't work nearly as well, but it helps.

    Get to a doc in a box (walk in clinic) when you are done today. The beautiful thing about ear infections is that they clear up fast w/antibiotics-- and the painkiller drops.

    Bonne Sante.

    In reply to Why Won't Rudy Run for Governor? [Updated: Because He's Running For Senate]
    It could be a combination of all those things. But I don't think it's surprising that he wouldn't run - he was only tempted by Paterson's weakness. The man has no interest in any kind of competitive or difficult election - he only wanted a cakewalk (as Paterson would have been). He is not remotely in the mix for the 2012 presidential nomination, has no interest in actually governing NY State (though, thanks to term limits being extended, he could run for mayor in 2013, god help us all), and can't handle another embarrassing loss. Kornacki had a good piece on Rudy's options in the Observer.
    [www.observer.com]

    Oh also - Kerik's conviction doesn't exactly remove the political liability for Rudy. The guy was his choice for Sec. of Homeland Security and his longtime business partner.

    @Peter Feld: Without term limits being extended, couldn't he have run again this time? I find it hard to believe that he would want to be Mayor again, nor do I think he would have much chance at winning that election.

    @kneetoe: You're right, he could have - but he wouldn't have challenged Bloomberg (for whom the term limits were lifted). I think he likes being the sheriff in this town and if he thought the field was weak in four years, he could be tempted by the idea of a comeback. As to whether he'd win, I suspect you are right but don't want to underestimate his loyal following.

    @BaconCat: I'm with you on that one. I'm so sick of hearing him and other people talk about how great he was after 9/11. What was he going to do, run away? He did what any other mayor of a big city would do in the same situation. And let's not forget the fact that he let workers in Ground Zero when he knew it wasn't safe, and now a lot of people are paying the price with serious health problems. Personally I'll never forgive him for "cleaning up" Times Square. I prefer the Times Square of the '70s - hookers, peep shows, junkies and drugs to what's there now. Toys R Us, Virgin, TGI Fridays? WTF??

    @fuckingoldman: Well, if you ask a lot of firemen they consider him the 20th hijacker because he ushed for motorola to win the new walkie-talkie contract after they contributed 150,000 bucks to his campaign. Only one problem with that:

    The fire department told old Rudy that the motorolas didn't work inside buildings and that had been a problem in the first attack on WTC. So a whole shitload of firement never heard the command to get out of the second tower. How he sleeps at night, I'll never know. The man deserves nothing short of hot coals up the ass.
