More flan

Fans of the show Seinfeld remember an episode in which the super-shallow Jerry had to learn to show emotions because a girlfriend (played by Lori Laughlin) is puzzled by the indifference with which he greeted everything that didn't directly affect him, as well as most things that did. In one memorable scene, she tries to get him to be angry, only he can't manage it at first. Eventually, though, he gets tired of her bullshit, and when she tries to get him to return to a restaurant he dislikes, he snaps, declaring: "Well, I don't think more flan is the answer!"

Following up on my earlier post, this is what more Americans need. They need to finally be fed up with the way the Bush administration is trying to metaphorically take them to La Caridad again with more lies about the meaning of "fixed" in Britain, and similar plausible-deniability gambits. And yes, I know I'm coming dangerously close to mixing a metaphor.

Lori Laughlin was on "Full House." She played Uncle Jesse's girlfriend (wife?) and was a co-host of Danny Tanner's show.
