I had to look them up.
I must be getting old.
Rachel Maddow is a woman?
Could have fooled me.

Jessica is probably a real head case.
She also has very limited "animal magnetism".
There's a big difference between who you would want to live with
and who you might be interested in sharing a wild short fling with.

It's interesting that Rachel Maddow will be working for MSNBC: |
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2008/08/21/2008-08-21_inner_tube_prime_time_for_maddow.html
Savvy enough to be characterized as a 'Linux' user, clever enough to
work for MSNBC, wise
enough to live spherically in many directions. |

You forgot to mention she has been forked 12 times,
She has 18 wigs, so you get choice. So she say's. Why is she in that
community, group sex, district?
Did you tell them that when you say, "Looker", you mean she keeps
looking at other guys?
You forgot to tell them that she only has 64K of memory, and only does
yellow dogs. But you think that is smart.

Ok, points for humor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Maddow
The Wiki picture is interesting, as it shows her in
traditionally male dress -- a cotton button shirt, over
a cotton T-shirt, and jeans. I for one would be hard put
based solely on that picture alone to tell she's a woman.
Of course her middle name might give someone a clue there
(there might be boys named Sue, but how many are named
Anne??) and her voice is definitely female.
"Rachel" is derived from the Hebrew "ewe/female sheep".
There does not appear to be a readily findable male
analogue; best I could do is Ramsey [ram's land, Old
English] or Wetherby [ram's meadow, OE]". The few English-Hebrew
dictionaries I can find do not give phonetic equivalents
to the Hebrew -- which, BTW, Firefox correctly displays.
As for Windows --- I'd say it's mutated over the years
many times, and is more along the lines of Amy Winehouse or
Britney Spears (though to Britney's credit she's apparently
at least back on track for to some semblance of normalcy).
As for gay: Stephanie Miller is reputed to have a "gaydar"
that turns anyone gay at the sight of her. How she can
accomplish that while wearing fishnets, I've no idea....
http://www.stephaniemiller.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephanie_Miller
If one really wants obvious female attributes, one might
consider Randi Rhodes; among other things, she mentions
that she has large cans, though the one picture of her in
the gallery of her webpage just shows a side-back shot of
her wearing glasses, long hair, and a black sweater. It's
possible she might be referring to recycling containers,
but I rather doubt it...

On a personal note: Green960 is annoying in that its stream
is inoperative for me, even with mplayer installed. The
launcher page contains <font editor_id="..."...>, which is a
weird artifact. (The ad for Comcast may need to be clicked on,
apparently.) Far better results: after the player comes up,
click on "Browse 750+ radio stations" and search for it
by location, then click "Listen". A slightly different player
comes up, and on my work machine at least I get sound. My
laptop's being less cooperative. Both are using Firefox 3.0.1.

Is it cheaper to learn Linux, or to hire someone

A choice between an movie babe and a political analist?
That's the choice between fake looks and fake brains.
Neighter, thanks.
