Interesting news from NBC:
NBC has picked up "The Philanthropist," a drama from the "Homicide" and "Oz" team of Tom Fontana and Barry Levinson. It's about a billionaire who uses his wealth and resources to help people in need, often at great risk. Fontana will write the script and exec produce with Levinson and Charlie Corwin, on whose idea the show is based.
It's the "often at great risk" thing that confuses me. Car chases? Knife fights?
Those billionaire philanthropists lead a life of danger.
Dude, you have no idea -- Warren Buffett faces more ninjas before lunch than I do all day.

And remember the "Scorpio" episode of The Simpsons?
It's tough out there for a billionaire philanthropist.
I can't picture Bill Gates being able to handle ninjas all that well. Maybe he has a time machine, and he brought a Samurai warrior into the present to be his bodyguard.
Samurai had cool armor. Plus the whole "fish out of water" thing would make for great TV.

God that was hilarious. Best thing Albert Brooks ever did since DEFENDING YOUR LIFE.
Why do you think Bill Gates lives in the "smart house"? That shit defends him better than SARAH ever will.
The morning was supposed to go like this:
Sleep in a bit. Pick up coworker from the airport. Go to 10AM workshop.
The morning, so far, has been this:
Wake up before alarm, despite tiredness and fervent desire for more sleep. Find out coworker's flight is delayed over an hour, at this point. Get interrupted while watching last night's "The Office" and am told that someone else will pick her up from the airport, so head to office nearly an hour later than usual, meaning rush-hour traffic is in full swing.
Sit at desk. Hate world.
Oh wait - it would probably be Melinda Gates who would probably have the fighting prowess. What with her having to defend Bill from random attacks by Linus Torvald's wife (who was once some martial arts champion of Finland, for reals).

"Uh... you have any sugar around here?"
"Sugar? Sure." [takes two handfuls of sugar out of his pockets] "There you go. Sorry it's not in packages. Want some cream?" [reaches back into his pockets]
"Uh... I... no." [backs away slowly]
