    It's usually game, set and match once they start quoting from Leviticus.

    I don't know if I could afford a Canadian. All those Timbits and Rush albums would get a bit expensive over time, not to mention the quarts of Homo Milk. Nevertheless, I'm sure I could find some space for this one:

    This thread is great because it has turned at least 3 people onto the genius that is the West Wing.

    Back of the net.

    The West Wing, along with The Wire, is probably the best thing to have been on TV in the past 20 years.

    He bet the republican candidate when running for president.

    Here is an example of how he bet him:

    This isnt the place really to discuss this but, few episodes were poorly written. The last season was very disappointing, but thats mainly because the actor who was meant to take on the role of president died, and so the second choice became the first choice, and at the time a latino president seemed unlikely, and the show was met with criticism.

    As for your left wing comment, can you give examples?

    Brilliant.

    I'm definitely going to watch the West Wing now - I've never seen it before.

    Me too. Six hours of smug, jingoistic back-slapping I could have done so much more with.

    A Charlotte, North Carolina man, having purchased a case of rare, very expensive cigars, insured them against fire. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of fabulous cigars, and having yet to make a single premium payment on the policy, the man filed a claim against the insurance company.

    In his claim, the man stated that he had lost the cigars "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in a normal fashion. The man sued -- and won. In delivering his ruling, the judge stated that since the man held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that the cigars would be insured against fire, without defining what it considered to be unacceptable fire, it was obligated to compensate the insured for his loss.

    Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company grudgingly accepted the judge's ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars he lost in the fires. After the man cashed his check, however, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of arson. With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used as evidence against him, the man was convicted of intentionally burning the rare cigars and sentenced to 24 consecutive one-year terms.

    I'd like to thank that more than once.

    Whenever you see "recently" in a newspaper, it's code for "long enough ago that it shouldn't be in the newspaper". Local papers do it a lot when they have some page to fill and sling in something they didn't have room for a few weeks ago or something that a friend asked them to include but was too lazy to send it on time.
