A new movie idea

I have come up with a new movie idea, the title of the movie is "Nigerian Scam." Joe Wilson (Tom Hanks) is a computer programmer who is likeable and gullible. He gets an email one day from an aide of the former Nigerian president who needs to get some money (in the tune of $6M) out of his troubled country. He asks Joe's favor so that Joe can supply him with a bank account number. He believes this person and sends him the number of an empty bank account. The guy receives it and says he needs some money in the account to bribe the officials. At this point, Joe's friends (and the viewer) are very skeptical of this scheme, they think it is a hoax. But then the viewer sees that there is a grain of truth in the emails when they see the troubled guy writing the emails in Nigeria. The second part of the movie sustains the tension with the question of whether Tom Hanks will be able to get the money from this Nigerian guy (Cuba Gooding, Jr. maybe?).

After legal battles and such, we see Cuba Gooding and Tom Hanks one year later, sipping Pina Colada in front of a luxurious house in Beverly Hills. Their children are playing in harmony, their wives are having an incessant chat... We see the email Cuba Gooding sent 2 years ago in the backdrop, framed and hung on the wall. Tom Hanks turns to Cuba Gooding ans says, "Who would have thought?"

Miers

I hear people arguing about how Miers will be like in the U.S. Supreme Court. On one hand, she supported Al Gore in the 80s, on the other, she helped Republicans in the 2000 election.

I remember teaching a summer course at Texas Tech University two years ago. I wondered what students would think about the course and the instructor, would they say "This is a tough course, and this guy seems tough." The truth is, no one knew what kind of instructor I was going to be, and that included me as well. So, let's quit trying to guess, she doesn't know it herself.

I wonder...

Why is it that lesbians are cute and homosexual males aren't? Imagine a woman who explains to her husband: "Well, I experimented when I was in college, I have been with girls." And now imagine the opposite: "I dated a guy when I was in college, but it was only a one time thing. It was just a fling." Who is more likely to be more OK with it - the husband or the wife? What makes girl-to-girl action so cute and man-to-man not cute at all? These questions, my friends, are tearing my head into pieces at night :))))
