The Bed List/The Dinner List

The end of the school year looms, and we teachers are whipped! Here are two men who would freshen things up nicely:

BED LIST: ERIC BANA



There's something about those Australians that really rings my bell. Must be the accent or something. Or how nice they look with their shirts off, like Eric Bana here. Or how they convincingly play the hot smart guy, like he did in Hulk. Or practically steal a movie from Brad Pitt, like he did in Troy. Or be a supportive shark in a twelve-step anti-fish group, like he did in Finding Nemo (he's the voice of Anchor, the hammerhead). Hey, Eric--find me!!

DINNER LIST: SEN. BOB GRAHAM



Please forgive the cheesy official Senate portrait. The recently retired Sen. Graham is very popular with we denizens of the Sunshine State for a variety of reasons, including his intelligence, his borderline obsessive-compulsive behavior (that journaling habit of his is way out of hand!), his wardrobe of State-of-Florida ties (look at the official picture carefully; he wore a tie embroidered with Floridas throughout his political career), and most of all, his workdays. How much more respect would members of the august Senate body get if they ripped a page from Sen. Graham's book and spent one day at a regular job that a regular person in their state did? During his years as Florida State Senator, Governor of Florida, and US Senator, Sen. Graham worked over 400 workdays, including jobs as diverse as police officer, railroad engineer, construction worker, fisherman, garbageman, factory worker, busboy, airline baggage handler, and teacher. Cool, huh? I'd be proud to host Sen. Graham at dinner--he wouldn't have to work for a thing.
