Me, too! Well, actually, Kyra Sedgewick. But she knows him, right?

[Alex]

Probably not in the way that I know him.

(Actually, I know this guy who knows him, but not in the way that Kyra knows him.)

[wendybeth]

Well, I doubt this guy knows him quite like Kyra, but in Six Degrees anything goes, right?

[Alex]

Other than recognizing the name Pearl Jam I don't know who that is but yeah, if he knows Kevin then it counts for something. My father-in-law also has a couple screen credits so I get a Bacon number through him as well (2, I think).

[wendybeth]

Uhmmm....I think the Bacon Bros just played at some casino here....odds are I know someone who works there.

Okay. I give. (Sigh). You are more Bacon than I.

President Bush announced his new White House press secretary on Wednesday: former Fox News host Tony Snow.

"As a professional journalist, Tony Snow understands the importance of the relationship between government and those whose job it is to cover the government," Bush said during a White House appearance.

A former Fox 'News' host is the new White House voicebox. So how is this different from his previous job?

snow : (verb)
1. To cover, shut off, or close off with snow: We were snowed in.
2. Slang. To overwhelm with insincere talk, especially with flattery.

(From Dictionary.com - emphasis is mine)

Ha ha.

In his former job, he was paid by a corporation to lie.

In his new job, he will be paid by the government to lie.
