Other films featuring former vice presidents:

Cruel Suspicion (1995) - Dan Quayle portrays a rogue cop seeking revenge against an evil District Attorney (Joe Montegna) in this direct-to-cable thriller.

The Delicacy of the Longshoreman (1987) - Walter Mondale has a cameo as beaureaucratic harbormaster in this slice-of-life drama about Long Island fishermen written and directed by John Sayles' longtime key grip, Nestor Shawns.

Hube Cube (1973) - A collection of three half-hour segments recorded for a local television station. Hubert Humphrey narrates some of his favorite children's stories: "The Walker and the Runner," "Mary and Her Magic Hat," and "Touch the Moon, Mr. Salamander." Each story is accompanied by experimental animated sequences.

Sheep Delight 78 (1978) - Nelson A. Rockefeller plays himself in this avant garde movie from Andy Warhol collaborator Paul Morrissey that was filmed in Central Park.

Looking for Spiro (1998) - This lighthearted documentary was a hit on the festival circuit: two teenage girls with a video camera try to record an interview with disgraced former vice president Spiro Agnew for their high school AP history class. Unbeknownst to the girls, Agnew cannot be interviewed for the film because he died two years earlier, but many pictures and news clips of him are featured in the finished documentary.

Balls N Babes 7 (2003) - For no apparent reason, one of two naked men having sex with a woman on a pool table in this compilation is referred to as Alben W. Barkley multiple times ("Yes, stick it in me, Alben W. Barkley, I want you in me!" and "F*** me, Alben W. Barkley. I love it when you f*** me so hard, Alben W. Barkley!") It is not clear if the man is meant to represent the 35th vice president or a person who was named for the 35th vice president. None of the other characters in the scene are referred to by name.

Due to cutbacks, our staff has recently been downsized, reducing the number of stories we make available. Please note that the following article may be used in your newspaper to cover Britney Spears leaving the Promises Treatment Center or the British troops withdrawing from Iraq. Required editorial choices are marked by parentheses.

(BAGHDAD/HOLLYWOOD) -- An already unstable situation will become more fraught with peril as sources suggest Brit(ish/ney) will be returning home sooner than expected.

Although there is no established timetable for withdrawal from (Iraq/rehabilitation), most experts think the situation is not yet improved from the chaotic mess it has recently become.

Things have deteriorated to the point where the much maligned (Saddam Hussein/Kevin Federline) has lately been reconsidered by critics, and is now judged to have been a stabilizing influence on (Iraq/Spears). This marks a great shift from the low public opinion of him during the nadir of his popularity around the time of his (dictatorship/rap album).

The ongoing conflict continues to raise questions about who will eventually get custody of (Kurdish oil reserves/Sean and Jayden).

Recently, (U.S./Us) sources have pointed to the heavy influence of (Iran/Isaac Cohen) in what have become increasingly erratic behavior and violent situations.

This past weekend, a tragic (car bomb blast that killed 62/haircut) caught headlines and suggested a complete breakdown was imminent, despite claims to the contrary by (Dick Cheney/Spears' publicist) who seems increasingly out-of-touch with his (country/client).

The next few months are sure to be a depressing time for (Iraq/Spears). Once known as (the cradle of civilization/a member of the Mickey Mouse Club), she has lately been associated with despair and scandal, as symbolized to the whole world by the distribution of pictures of her tortured and shaved (prisoners/vagina) being displayed in the confines of (Abu Ghraib/her limousine).

Activities To Keep You Busy During the Final Break in the Libby Trial

• Repurpose complicated system of bulletin board, note cards and string connecting players in Plame investigation to map out plot of HBO's "Rome"

• Alphabetize CD collection. Halfway through project, decide to replace CD shelves wih Case Logic binders, because, honestly, you mostly listen to MP3s these days. After driving to home electronics superstore to buy cases, return home and begin removing liner notes from jewel boxes. When you're in the "J" section of the alphabet, come across the CD you listened to the first time you had sex with your girlfriend from two relationships ago. Become sad and wonder what happened to her. Do you still have her email address? Check your old Hotmail account, only to discover that it has expired, since you stopped using it when you switched to Gmail. Realize you'll never contact her again, and she's probably married anyway. Curl up under the covers on your bed, leaving your CDs in disarray all over the floor.

• Throw a dinner party for old friends from your college's Drama Club. Print out pseudo transcripts from firedoglake blog and act out the trial so far. Present each day's testimony in the style of a different playwright. Wish you had more black friends so that you could perform Tim Russert's testimony as an August Wilson play.

• Learn to juggle. But I mean, really learn to juggle this time. Don't get bored and give up after two hours.

fan ficciones

Dear Jorge,

Thank you for your submission to "Panther Pride," the official fan fiction journal for NBC's drama "Friday Night Lights."

Although your story showed a lot of promise, we were unable to find space for it in our current issue. As you may know, "Panther Pride" was originally a fan fiction journal for creative endeavors related to the film version of the book Friday Night Lights. When the television series began airing in the fall of 2006, we split the journal into two different sections, one featuring stories set in the world of the film, and one featuring stories set in the universe of the television series.

Your submission, "Offsides," presented an interesting merger of the two fictional settings through the dimensional rift created by the magic football. And while we were taken with the challenging notion of Boobie Miles racing Smash Williams, and especially with Tami Taylor meeting doppelganger Sharon Gaines at a mirror store, we couldn't help but feel that your story was essentially a science-fiction endeavor more than it was a fictional exploration of the world of Panther football.

Please do not be discouraged, and feel free to submit more stories in the future. In addition, you might try submitting stories to "Powers That Be," the fan fiction journal of the television series "Heroes," which leans more towards the supernatural and fantastical.

Yours,

"Coach" Ron Edison

Dear Jorge,

We receive many submissions here at "Powers That Be." Unfortunately this means that we must turn down some stories, and your December submission, "Eye of the Cheerleader," falls into this category.

The central conceit of your story -- that of a dimensional rift allowing visitors from another universe to create havoc in the "Heroes" world -- was interesting, but the bulk of the story followed characters who were not familiar to us here at the magazine. After a brief appearance by cheerleader Claire Bennet, we spent the rest of the story with the characters from Dillon, Texas in the other dimension.

One of our editors here did some internet research and discovered that those characters are from the series "Friday Night Lights."

Perhaps you should submit your next story to "Landry Land," the official electronic journal of cross-pollinated fan fiction for television series set in Texas.

Best wishes,

Sam Telson, the "Super" Editor

Howdy Jorge,

Greetings from the Lone Star State!

As an electronic journal, we have no space limitations, but our founding principles and editorial mission sometimes force us to reject well-written stories such as your recent submission, "High Plains Shifter."

Our grant from the Texas State Bureau of Tourism stipulates that we must "strive to demonstrate the breadth and width of Texas life through publication of stories showing the intersection of different worlds created by popular television series set in Texas."

In the past, some of our most successful works have included "Death and Gas," a story combining characters from "Dallas" and "King of the Hill," and, more recently, "Forbidden Crossings," which involved characters from FOX's "Prison Break" and MTV's "The Real World: Austin."

Your story, while entertaining, failed to meet our standards, as it featured only one television series ("Friday Night Lights"). The second universe from which it borrowed, the setting for the film version of Friday Night Lights, did not meet the criteria of being from a television series nor of highlighting another side of Texas living (both the TV series and movie examine smalltown football culture).

We would welcome any submissions from you in the future that connect two different television series from Texas.

In the meantime, you might try writing something for 2430framespersecond.blogspot.com, the official blog for fan fiction that combines television and movie versions of the same universe.

Remember the Alamo,

Walt McMurtry, EIC, Landry Land Magazine

To JorgeLB27@hotmail.com,

Your recent post TEXAS TWISTER is awaiting approval by the moderator of 2430FRAMES.

For the following reason(s):

- NOT ENOUGH CHARACTERS HAVING SEX WITH SELVES!

You may resubmit your story using your assigned login, or submit new stories in the future.

The moderator has the following suggestion(s):

- CHARACTERS SHOULD HAVE GRAPHIC SEX WITH OTHER VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES.
- MAYBE THIS COULD REPLACE THE FOOTBALL GAME AT THE END?
- CONSIDER 'BERG.BURG' THE CHRONICLE OF FAN FICTION FOR THE WORKS OF PETER BERG

Subliminal Messages of Common Valentine's Day Gifts

A Dozen Roses: Hey Ugly, I figured your co-workers would rather look at this vase full of flowers than your ugly face on this special day. When you get home, we need to talk.

Box of Chocolates: Hey Fatty, I am always disgusted by your morbid obesity, but since it is Valentine's Day, I thought I would indulge you and send you some chocolates to stuff into your fat fat face.

Diamond Pendant: Hey Bossy, I saw this diamond and thought of you, because our relationship makes me feel as imprisoned as a slave-labor diamond miner in a conflict region of Africa.

Scented Candle: Hey Boring, I don't think you have much of a personality. Also, you kind of smell bad. Happy Valentine's Day!

Fancy Dinner: Hey Vapid, You're not very interesting to talk to, or even spend time with, but at least you're attractive enough to make other men jealous. Enjoy this dinner and try not to say too many stupid things loudly, or else people will realize you're not much of a catch.

Singing Telegram: Hey, we shouldn't see each other any more.

new moon on monday

Dear Time Warner,

I am writing to protest your copyright violation (on CNN yesterday) of my unproduced 2003 screenplay, Hear You Scream.

As you no doubt remember from the copy I left with the producer of "TalkBack Live" when I was in the audience for the show in July 2003, Hear You Scream was the story of Major Steve Hotsmith, an astronaut who returns from space with a taste for blood and goes on a multi-state crime spree.

I was startled to see you adapt my story without payment on "Larry King Live" last night. Although you changed the gender of the main character, and the nature of some of the crimes, the theft is still apparent.

Compare the following similar passages:

"Larry King Live" - Feb. 6, 2007

KING: So she -- this astronaut -- wore a disguise?

POLICE OFFICER: It appears that way, Larry.

* * *

Hear You Scream (p. 112)

INT. OVAL OFFICE - DAY

HOTSMITH APPROACHES THE PRESIDENT.

HOTSMITH/LUCAS
Mr. President, I need to tell you something.

PRESIDENT
What is it, Lucas?

HOTSMITH/LUCAS
(removing Lucas mask)
Lucas is dead. It's me, Hotsmith. And you're about to be impeached into outer space!

HOTSMITH SHOVES THE PRESIDENT UP AGAINST HIS DESK AND REMOVES HIS MOON DIAMOND...

Or these:

"Larry King Live" - Feb. 6, 2007

KING: Is it a question of policing NASA better?

BUZZ ALDRIN: It strikes me that we’re dealing with something that has to do with supervision after people are part of the astronaut business. And I really hate to raise that, but it seems to me that there needs to be a little bit more oversight somehow.

* * *

Hear You Scream (p. 34)

INT. NASA HEADQUARTERS - EVENING
GENERAL MANVIL AND COLONEL BLOODSWORTH ARE LOOKING AT HOTSMITH'S CLASSIFIED PERSONAL FILE ON A COMPUTER SCREEN.

MANVIL
Where would you go, if you were being hunted by the entire U.S. Army?

BLOODSWORTH
Maybe his family? His friends? It looks like most of his file has been erased. Damn it, we need answers!

MANVIL
Calm down. We'll find him. And we will destroy him.

BLOODSWORTH
I knew we should have implanted a monitor device in him when he returned from space!

And also these passages:

"Larry King Live" - Feb. 6, 2007

KING: As I understand it, she was released from prison and then sent back because of an additional charge?

DONALD LYKKEBAK: Her bail was set at $15,000 before the attempted murder charge. When they added the second, baseless charge, the judge increased the bail and it took additional time to increase the bond. But now she is going home.

* * *

Hear You Scream (p. 78)

INT. PRISON CELL - EVENING
A CAMERA CREW IS FILMING HOTSMITH'S INTERVIEW WITH PAUL WILLIAMSON OF CBN.

WILLIAMSON
What message do you have for our viewers?

HOTSMITH
These bars can't hold me. I'll find a way out, even if it takes time. No matter how many crimes they try to pin on me. I'll get out. They tried to lock me in space, but I got out. And I'll get out of here.

AS WE WATCH THE VIDEO FEED, HOTSMITH'S FACE SHIFTS INTO ALIEN MODE AND STATIC FILLS THE SCREEN. WE HEAR THE SOUNDS OF SCREAMING AND GET BRIEF GLIMPSES OF PAUL WILLIAMSON BEING DEVOURED. THE IMAGE CLEARS UP AND WE SEE A BLOODSOAKED HOTSMITH.

HOTSMITH
(licking blood from fangs)
And they say prison food isn't very good.

I am very knowledgeable about the legal system (I did a lot of research for my unproduced screenplays Assault With A Gavel and Inncocent Until Proven Deadly) and I am willing to take whatever actions are needed to make sure that your theft and plagiarism do not go unpunished.

Please contact me as soon as possible regarding my percentage and/or purchasing one of my other screenplays.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Obama has only been in the Senate for two years, so he hasn't voted on too many climate issues, aside from backing corn ethanol subsidies (groan!), but he's definitely better than the current administration. Of course, my three-year old son would be better than the current administration.

Nobody has a better record or understanding of climate issues, and subsequent ball-freezing temperature shifts, than Al Gore. Run Al Run!!!

I just saw that Obama has a policy paper on ball-freezing-off at his website. Check it out.

Hey kids! See if you can identify which passages below are from the much anticipated new book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and which are from the highly classified National Intelligence Estimate produced by the U.S. government's intelligence agencies!!! Find the answers at the fan club website!

• There was a great darkness, and no one could see even a hint of light amidst the gloomy chaos.

• It was all his fault, from the very beginning. He wished he could travel back in time and change what happened. But he could not.

• Collapse of this magnitude would generate fierce violence for at least several years, ranging well beyond the time frame of this Estimate, before settling into a partially stable end-state.

• When one ventures outside this realm, they find themselves vulnerable to attack. It is most dangerous, even for the brave.

• The whole process of producing NIEs normally takes at least several months.

• Even the school had been infiltrated by the enemy by that point.

• The atmosphere was summed up by a bearded old man sitting outside the stone walls. "That's no ordinary prison," he said. "They torture people in there!"

• It soon became clear that this was no simple game ... thousands of lives were at stake.

• Harry Potter entered the chamber. Would Voldemort be inside?

• Should these events take place, they could spark an abrupt increase in communal and insurgent violence and shift Iraq’s trajectory from gradual decline to rapid deterioration with grave humanitarian, political, and security consequences.

• By the time they arrived at the museum, it had been looted. The guards had disappeared and the powerful relics inside were nowhere to be found.

• The emergence of a checkered pattern of local control would present the greatest potential for instability, mixing extreme ethno-sectarian violence with debilitating intra-group clashes.

• "Good shot, Hermione," Harry said. "That one was really close." She shivered in the darkness but did not reply.
