Drive-by brain flailings

If they ever film a movie about the life of Isaac Asimov, Al Franken is the guy who should play the lead. The resemblance is remarkable, and I'm sure Al could imitate the heavy Brooklyn accent without too much trouble.

Amusing idea: a new game called "Bushopoly". Two players vie to be first into the White House. The player with the Bush token gets ten times the money of his competitor, and even if his competitor wins, there is a 90% chance that Bush wins the White House and the game by judicial fiat. It could be kind of funny. I had an idea for some Chance cards, but it slipped my mind. Stuff like "Terror Alert! Your polls rise 5%. Keep this card and use it as often as you like. Card only valid if your name is Bush."

I wonder if the rising popularity of SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans has changed yard sales? Seems to me that they would make it easier for a large item like a piece of furniture to be an impulse buy, since they have so much more cargo space.
