DB Cooper, it has to be. A corpse wearing an old parachute, and a bunch of really old $100 bills. What would you do if it was DB Cooper?

Edit: apparently it was all $20s, not $100s

I have a question about the Old Testament/New Testament divide: I find that the God of the OT and the God of the NT are... well... very different. I find it hard to swallow that the "kill 'em all and their cattle" God also loves everyone so much that he sent Christ to die for their sins (in fact, I am not a Christian, and this disparity is one major reason why).

Is it due to a shift in how God was viewed between the times the Testaments were written? This seems to me to be the likeliest reason, but at the same time, too simple. Are there other factors/events that I'm not seeing?

TBH, I haven't read anything you've written (sorry!) so I will accept "Go to the library!" as an answer, too.

This! This is precisely what has been missing for me. I love Star Trek in all its incarnations because of its optimism about our future.

Hello! I read Nickel and Dimed when it first came out, and it really inspired me to work on behalf of the homeless and the impoverished. My question is this: you undertook the project beginning in 1998, when the economy was creating many high-paying full-time jobs and unemployment was ~4.5%. Today the unemployment rate is 6.7%, many jobs that are created are part-time service jobs, and animosity to unions and labour is high. How do you think you would have fared if you'd written Nickel and Dimed in today's job market?

And if I can be impertinent enough to ask a second question: what do you make of the Princeton/Northwestern study that suggests the US is no longer a democracy, but an oligarchy?

You've been in a lot of stuff, and your IMDB page lists quite a few upcoming projects. I know I've recognized you before in shows, and it sort of removes me from the story for a moment when I say, "Hey, that's Judy Greer!" Do you find that being so prolific has that effect on an audience, or am I just nuts?
