Is this entertaining, or is this just me overestimating my writing again?
The House Ways and Means Committee is one of the most powerful and envied in the House; seats there are not obtained or relinquished easily. Getting there at all is hard, and getting to be chairman is even harder. Thus, any member, especially the chairman, should be careful in his behavior so as not to be removed from the committee. This, apparently, was beyond Wilbur Mills (D-AR), who served as chairman for eighteen years, his tenure ended by a scandal with a stripper. Mills was driving at night in DC with his lights off, which is stupid enough by itself that he should have lost the chairmanship then, and was stopped by the police. He was drunk, and his companion, one Fanne Foxe (her stage name), jumped into the Tidal Basin, apparently feeling that the water on a late October night was better than the cops. Amazingly, he was reelected in 1974, almost certainly helped greatly by the Watergate scandal (and by not having an outraged wife; it seems Mills never married). Having dodged a bullet, Mills did the sensible thing and appeared with Foxe's husband on the stage where she danced, later holding a press conference from her dressing room. Shockingly, his constituents did not approve of this behavior, and shortly after he resigned the chairmanship, retiring from the House in 1976.
Man, I still need to work on trophies in Arkham Asylum, plus Assassin's Creed 2 when I get it back. But first, finish Infamous (I'm tempted to go for a 100% on this game too, and do hard mode as evil).
In games with morality meters, I'm usually torn about being good vs evil, but thankfully the NPCs in Infamous are annoying enough that being evil the 2nd time is going to be easy.

New Batman game? Ooo...
Also, I'm tempted to buy the Scott Pilgrim PSN game. We tried it out yesterday for a little co-op and it was surprisingly fun.

That is the best version I would say. Mostly because I grew up with it. But I have quiet a few nice backgrounds with her and more recent updates.
I grew up with TAS
We grew up on first run, not reruns. How old were you in 1992?

Negative three.

Batman:The Animated Series started in 1992. I was 9. There are numerous iterations. But that was the original one. It went from 92 to 95.
I am hopeless, I put off these assignments for too long.
