That's some good thinking by Comptroller Thompson there. We're also of the opinion that the best way to woo middle-class votes is to turn yourself white. Plus, now he can pull the "Law & Order" vote!

Page Six runs an innocuous gossip item this morning about Penthouse pet Kimberly Williams (apparently former Raider Marcus Allen creeps her out). Unfortunately, they run it below a photo of actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, who appeared in the Father of the Bride movies and now co-stars in an ABC sitcom. It's the kind of thing that happens every now and again; were we Williams-Paisley we probably wouldn't make too much of a fuss about it. If we had a choice between being identified as someone who showed her beaver for a semi-popular spank mag or as a co-star of "According to Jim," we'd choose the former any day. It's a lot less embarrassing.
