    “Back then, I was just a kid from Petaluma. I didn’t know a thing about politics. I know more now. Or at least I know enough not to run. Still I have a platform that I can use to influence things. And I intend to use it.” –Polly Klaas, on the set of X-Men: Children of the Atom, 2002. “I...

  4. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

  9. Finally Home
    Threadmarks: 1991 con't

  13. WI: President Al Gore (1993-2001)
