I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

KQED, the local PBS station. But honestly, the Hollywood movie was a
mess. The A&E version was better (except that Elizabeth was fat) and
the 1985 BBC version was better yet. But it's best to stick to the
book.

I got the whole BBC Jane Austen collection last year for my
birthday... excellent stuff. Ang Lee's 1995 "Sense and Sensibility"
(Emma Thompson - relation?- Hugh Grant, Imogen Stubbs) is awfully
good, too.

Ford because president as the result of being appointed as VP by Nixon.

He was stuck with the results of the Nixon economics. The wage and price
controls had done their damage but Ford could have, perhaps, helped things
a bit. It was obvious at that time that the cost of energy was going to
be the issue for quite a while but he basically did nothting useful on
that front.

He played football and had a bad knee as a result. The knee would trip
him up from time to time. I think it tended to lock up.

Yes, I really like watching conservatives like Jon Steward. His show is a
laugh riot. He really socks it to those Liberals
