Tuesday, he contrasted the wave that swept the Republicans in the Office nationwide. "
"Working against a Cuomo performed are a handful of things: he is divorced and lives with her partner of five years, Sandra Lee; television personality There is a perception that any democratic political from the Northeast is too liberal to appeal to all the land; He has relatively little experience in elected Office, just four years; and was once seen as combative and ambitious, strokes, he and his staff go as hardheadedness youth has softened with maturity.

Triskaidekaphobia the technical term applicable to the fear of the number 13 . The legend of the basis of this fear is widespread, with biblical connotations, Norse, Persian and even Freemasonry references. In 1881, a club was formed called the Thirteen Club made up of influential New Yorkers who sought to dispel this particular superstition, and all members survived all of their attempts to tempt fate by ignoring this and other superstitions. Fast forward 100 plus years and the most noticeable aspect of this ongoing superstition continues in the fact that most buildings with as many floors will never label the dreaded thirteenth floor by simply calling it 14! Hotels will typically stay away from assigning 13 to a room number. This is the case at the famed Hôtel Costes in Paris, France, where chambre 13 simply does not exist!
![My Cousin Vinny [VHS]](/51P02PZFZRLSL500.jpg)
When two Italian-American boys from New York are falsely accused of murder in a small Alabama town, they call for a lawyer--but the only lawyer they know is their cousin Vinny (Joe Pesci), who made six attempts before he passed his bar exam. My Cousin Vinny is a classic fish-out-of-water comedy; the flimsy plot about clearing the two boys and solving the murder is just a hook to support a lot of culture-clash humor. Thanks to the strong cast of character actors like Fred Gwynne, Austin Pendleton, and Lane Smith, it's pretty funny--even old-hat jokes about Brooklyn versus Southern accents come to life. Pesci has played a few too many schticky characters, but this time it works. There's just enough humanity in his caricature to make Vinny likable and entertaining. When the movie was released, there was controversy about whether Marisa Tomei, playing Vinny's big-haired and black-leather-wearing fiancée, deserved to win the best supporting actress Oscar (she beat out Judy Davis, Joan Plowright, Miranda Richardson, and Vanessa Redgrave); but seeing her performance on its own, it's a comic marvel and worthy of honor. --Bret Fetzer
