November 27, 2000 My Personal Recount By RICK MORANIS While we're talking about recounts. . . I think I may have done better on my SAT's. I also think I won the New Jersey state lottery last week. I think the bank miscalculated the mortgage rate and payment schedule on the co-op loan for my six-room, fourth-floor apartment. I also believe it is actually a nine-room unit on the 12th floor. I believe God created the world in eight or nine days. I think my cholesterol is lower. I think that my zip code is one digit off and that I deserve more frequent-flier miles. I think I was served only five oysters at the Three Seasons yesterday. I think I overtipped. I think I may have had fewer moving violations on my newer car, with more cylinders and fewer miles. I think I'm taller. I think I read a lot more and watch much less television I think I have more channels. I think I may have been a Beatle. I think I have a fever. I think everything I own is still under warranty and all my expiration dates are wrong. I think pi is slightly off. I think I hear everything in Dolby. I think I'm justified in thinking more highly of myself. I think I bought Yahoo stock much earlier. I think I sold it. I think I birdied the 18th. I think I overpaid my taxes and underreported my personal expenses and charitable donations. I think the refund is way, way overdue. I think much more separates the men from the boys. I think men are from Mars and women are from a galaxy far, far away. I think brunettes have just as much fun. I think, therefore I am more. Rick Moranis is a writer and actor.

[Sorry for the double post, SI appears to be burping this morning.]

Jungle, That WSJ editorial is certainly one of the more confused efforts they have put together. I'm surprised the Supreme Court took this case at this time, but the issue is not a political one but rather a constitutional one, at least as I see it. The court will most likely make its decision on the narrowest grounds possible, and perhaps make no decision at all. If it rules, it should simply rule on the unconstitutionality (equal protection) of voters when a small segment of the electorate is permitted special or changing privileges in an election. CNN has a particularly dense "political analyst" John Schneider, clearly a Democrat apologist, who can't wait to slant each outcome with the Gore talking point. He keeps saying the Supes (the real ones, not the 7 Dwarves in Tallahassee) are going to act politically. Not so, imho. Bought some FLC this morning, pretty much a full position on them right now. I would like to find an election rally to lighten up on some of these positions, but think the earliest we see that in the oils is Wednesday, perhaps Friday, or maybe next week.
