Laura Bush isn't a politician. IJS.

In my opinion, yes she is. It's not necessary for her to run for or be appointed to office for her to be a politician. She's been out there actively campaigning for Bush and at least some of his policies. She has her own staff and makes appearances on behalf of causes she's promoting. She' may not be E. Roosevelt, but she's not some stay-at-home spouse, either.

Eleanor Roosevelt wasn't a politician, either. Being a politician's spouse does not make someone a politician. The term I would use -- and it's very distinct from "politician" -- is "public figure." There's a real difference there.

For me, public figure is synonymous with celebrity, and doesn't require the amount of political activism that an agitating First Lady may be engaging in.

Not that I can think of one or two words that sums it up without implying elected official.

Also, there was no Betty Crocker. It's tricksy world.

I have a cousin named Betty Crocker, actually.

since the judge determined that Phillips gifted it to Irons. Doesn't the judge's decision on gifting it mean it has already been determined that she did not steal it?

Legally, sure. In my opinion? Hell no. The judge determined wrong.

I think I should get nominated for an Oscar. It seems like a pretty good gig.

So there were rumours that Marcia Cross was gay, based on (mere existence of?) the Advocate cover story featuring her. Said cover is about the rumour that Marcia Cross is gay. It's very confusing. It's amnesia and a reset button away from JJ Abrams plotting.

But ita, I need to know, would you put your life before JJs?

I mostly just want to watch you reenact that scene from the bodyguard and carry him through the crowd.

Great. Spat brisket onto my screen.

Well, it wouldn't count as heavy lifting, would it?

How many homeless people could that monetary amount have fed?

...housed, medicated, and educated? My Inner Socialist Hippie is in the corner with Steph's.

Also, if the kid gets any money from his OBC, I vote it's put into an account to fund the massive therapy s/he's gonna need when s/he learns the method of conception. Freaky shit, man.
