Heh. Reno showed up on SNL tonight, sketch "Reno's Dance Party."

You could tell she was itching to dance...she was a shakin'.

I have a pretty decent sense of humor, but when I saw this it filled me with revulsion. They should have shown her dancing with effigies of charred corpses. That would have been appropo. jim
