Occasional light verse, mostly political. If you're looking for a certain cold medicine, try here. But we can put you to sleep cheaper.

I'll take movies for 500, Alex

Today we take a break from both poetry and politics. The answer is:

CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD
or
JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR

The question was overheard by a junior editor at the nightquill entertainment desk, who was recently in New Orleans covering the local music industry. Our staffer shared an elevator with a couple who remained silent during the descent. As they were leaving the elevator ahead of him, the young husband asked his wife, very suddenly and distinctly:

"What movie was Mary Magdalene in?"



Notes: Our staffer never heard the reply. Actor Marlee Matlin played Sarah Norman in Children of a Lesser God. As far as we know, Republican political operative and author Mary Matalin has never appeared in a motion picture.
