Personalities
-- Barack Obama. My sister once met him at the Urbana Sweet Corn Festival, so obviously he's the right man to be president. Although McCain's appearance at the Threshers' Bee complicates things somewhat.
-- Jerry Maguire. The ever-timely TBS has already played it about 300 times this weekend. It's fun to remember how we used to not know that Tom Cruise was crazy, though.
-- Norbit. The original plan was just to release a movie actually depicting Eddie Murphy crapping on an Oscar, but they figured this was the next best thing.
-- Sonic the Hedgehog. For some inexplicable reason, I've actually referenced him a couple of times in conversations this week. He was kind of on top of the world for a while there, though, wasn't he? He had his own Saturday morning cartoon and everything.
-- Anna Nicole Smith. At least she died the way she lived: as someone whose appeal I utterly fail to understand.
-- Sienna Miller. You have to admire how the plucky little scamp somehow keeps insisting that she's famous, despite all evidence to the contrary. I mean, who could forget her turn as "Savannah" in "High Speed?"
