Damn but the best just keeps getting better and better for JLH. You know we've all heard the Net rumors that JLH does read from sites dedicated to her (including message boards) and on that I'd say now if she did read Fanhost I'd like to say the following: if it turns out she wins the People's Choice for GW here's an idea for what she could say in her victory speech. In the words of former Detroit Piston point guard Isiah Thomas: "Wow! You know something, Heaven must be like this! Heaven...must be like this!" Out!

I don't like the Pistons (look where I'm from, and it's not just for what happened a year ago this weekend). Zeke is alright, but not the Pistons (though it was nice to see his Bad Boys beat up on MJ back in the day).
