It isn’t really a mistake that I make, but I guess I can see mixing up [this](http://www.moviecard.com/biscuit/gre/greetings-calhoun.jpg) with [this](http://www.greyhoundgardens.com/images/puppiesmain.jpg). ---

It’s a measure of how well the presidential campaign of Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kans.) is going that no one here has compared him with French Stewart. ---

[QUOTE=well he’s back] I may be the only one who sees the resemblance, but I think Daniel Radcliffe looks a lot like Elijah Wood. (of course I like to watch Elijah more) [/QUOTE] No, you’re not the only one. I’ve noticed it, especially since they’ve both gone through puberty. However, I think some of it’s in the way they’re photographed–the Harry Potter movie posters recall the LOTR posters, or vice versa. ---

A couple of tough guys: [John Saxon](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=John+Saxon) and [Michael Ironside](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Michael+Ironside). [Michael Biehn](http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Michael+Biehn&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi) and [Timothy Olyphant](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Timothy+Olyphant) – although not all the photos make a good case for the resemblance. [Jarvis Cocker](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Jarvis+Cocker) (Pulp’s frontman) and quirky character actor [James Urbaniak](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=James+Urbaniak). [Benny Hill](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Benny+Hill) and Conan O’Brien’s former sidekick, [Andy Richter](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Andy+Richter). That resemblance is going to really tighten up as Andy gets older and loses more of his hair, BTW. And finally, two kinds of hucksters: [the Rev. Billy Graham](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Billy+Graham) and the Ronco guy, [Ron Popeil](http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Ron+Popeil)! ---
