   And a little dated.

   She really is a fairly prominent poker player, FWIW.

   That seems a little strong. She's obviously an accomplished student, but   
   things are pretty competitive, especially at top schools. For me to say   
   that an 8-year-old will clearly get a free ride, he or she better have a   
   pretty amazing distinction.   
      
   The Curse sure struck Marvin Hamlisch quickly.   
      
   BTW, in case people missed it, Homer did the Top Ten List on Letterman   
   the other night. It was the Top Ten Things I Love About America, one of   
   which was "It's the only country with cars. I assume." Of course, we   
   know that Homer has been in cars in France, Canada, Brazil, and Japan,   
   probably among others. I sure hope someone was fired over that blunder!
