It's called "divide and conquer".

Have the majority vote for everything from the official Democrat to Gary Coleman and from Ariana Huffington to a stripper.

Then have the Republican minority all vote for the groping gorilla.

...I feel guilty laughing.

Maybe Rush Limbaugh would say that I feel guilty because I'm a liberal.

PEACE!

Laugh without guilt. It's the way Robin would have wanted it.

...Jack Rabbit is pretty smart!

It almost certainly is the tribute that Robin would have wanted. However, I had an Irish Catholic mother and a Jewish step-mother.\, so feeling guilty comes pretty naturally to me...Yikes!

PEACE!

We are talking the late seventies, when his popularity from Mork and Mindy was at its height. Does anyone know where that might be found?

It is astonishingly funny. Frost is simply overwhelmed, opening the second part of the interview by noting that, as anyone who saw the first half knows, "A visit from Robin Williams is not so much a visit as it is an invasion."

I searched on Youtube, but they don't seem to have it. Any ideas?

The U.S. Justice Department said this afternoon it was convinced Bruce Ivins, an Army microbiologist, sent the letters laced with anthrax powder that killed five — including Bob Stevens, photo editor at American Media Inc. in Boca Raton — sickened 17, and shut down government offices and media outlets around the country.

"As disclosed previously, the Amerithrax investigation found that the late Dr. Bruce Ivins acted alone in planning and executing these attacks," the Justice Department said in a statement.

In July 2008, the 62-year-old Ivins committed suicide as the FBI was preparing to charge him in the attacks and seek the death penalty.

"The trail of anthrax spores in postal machinery and equipment shows the letter was originally sent to The National Enquirer at its previous address, then forwarded to the AMI building, which contained offices for both The Enquirer and The Sun, and ended up in the hands of The Sun's photo editor, Bob Stevens, 63."

The Enquirer recently published this...
