    Jesus, Michael Sheen. Really? This is what you get, Hollywood, for not nominating this guy for an Oscar for The Queen.


    Also, that HBO pilot sounds fantastic. Ever since he left The Daily Show I've been missing Nate Corddry (because God I could not bear to watch that Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip dreck), and it will be nice to see Sarah Michelle Gellar in something without "Scooby Doo" in the title.

    Okay. Is the group of vampires seriously called the Voltrons? I have no knowledge of this Twilight business, and am truly curious.

    I'm going to kind of defend him because he and Susan know a lot of shit and he was primed to be mistreated because this kind of thing happens all over the country at every election. Yes, he was dim-witted in this case and he seems contrite but I just take this as he over reacted, but the dude *knows what time it is*.

    I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Robbins at a taping of Bill Maher a week or so before the election. He is a classic, conspiracy-deranged, camera-hogging hysterical lefty. In short, a real Nuke La-Douche, for those Bull Durham fans. He needs to chill the eff out. His candidate won. And did he really think if his vote wasn't counted Obama would lose the Republican stronghold of New York? He won. Now shut up for the next eight years.

    @HandsomeBwonderful: Agreed. Did anyone see that horrible, hysterical play he wrote and directed back in 2003, Embedded? If you Google "why we lost the 2004 election" it takes you to a clip of that show. #timrobbins

    Dear Tim Robbins,


    When you re-register to vote with a different address than the one you previously used to register, you often find that you have been assigned a new polling place. Ninety-eight percent of Americans have figured this out, and have also figured out how to determine their proper polling location.


    While we give you credit for getting the state and city correct, we must give you demerits for misidentifying your polling place and all of your behavior following that mistake.


    And while we're at it, who said that making a few movies and being a good actor means that anyone gives jack shit about your political opinions? Oh yeah, that would be you who said that. We have to assign additional demerits.


    Please keep on harrassing the Board of Elections. It is our sincere hope that you will escalate to the point of committing a felony, and then we will not have to hear of your voting woes as you will, at least temporarily, lose the right to vote.


    America

    It's an unwritten secret about living in Manhattan. As fun as it is to go, "Ooh, there's Uma!", it's also true that mere movie actors eventually get to the point where they feel magnanimous about letting mortals breathe the same air. They become dicks. Actors are intensely narcissistic that way. And in NYC it comes down to laughing at the likes of Tim Robbins, when he turns a beaureaucratic snag into a claim of political persecution. Srsly, I wonder how coked he was to make such a kerfuff.

    Duane Reade Inc.

    Executive Office

    440 9th Ave.

    New York, NY 10001


    November 17, 2008


    Dear Mr. Henry:

    I would like to publicly apologize for being such a dim-witted dilettante at your 14th St and 3rd Ave Duane Reade location on Sunday afternoon. I was under the naive assumption that I could purchase Tom's of Maine Whole Care Toothpaste, where I've purchased it two times before. Your thoughtful Sunday flyer said that I could purchase two tubes for $4.59 at any participating location. Considering your position at the Duane Reade and your deep respect for the economic process I must assume that my local 14th St. location's cashier, Tanya's assertion that they did not have Tom's of Maine Whole Care Toothpaste and only had Tom's of Maine Whole Care Toothpaste Gel was erroneous and that she must be as confused and wrongheaded as I am. If Tanya had bothered to leave her register and check the back we could confirm that your flyer is lying. Certainly you wouldn't lie about a thing like that. That is unbecoming of a man of your bureaucratic stature. And why would anyone at Duane Reade falsely advertise toothpaste in the Sunday November, 16, 2008 flyer ? That's just crazy and un-democratic.


    Tim Robbins

    New Yorker since 1961

    Voter since 1976

    Tom's of Maine Whole Care Toothpaste User since 2002


    P.S. If anyone reading this letter had a similar experience at Duane Reade it can and should be reported at duanereade.com/mailform.htm

    Why should Susan marry him? No one tells Louise what to do. She does not need honest woman status - she is all-honest, and all-woman. And if it suits her to cohabit, why should you care?
