    The West Wing Weekly Episode 1:05: “The Crackpots and These Women” Guest: Eli Attie [West Wing Episode 1.05 excerpt] TOBY: It’s “throw open our office doors to people who want to discuss things that we could care less about” day. [end excerpt] [Intro Music] JOSH: Hi, you’re listening to The West Wing Weekly. My name is Joshua Malina. HRISHI: And I’m Hrishikesh Hirway. JOSH: We are here to discuss season one, episode five, “The Crackpots and These Women”. It originally aired on October 20th, 1999. This episode was written by Aaron Sorkin; it was directed by Anthony Drazan, who among other things directed the 1998 film version of David Rabe’s Hurlyburly, the play on which it was based having been mentioned in episode one of our podcast. We’re coming full circle. HRISHI: Our guest today is writer and producer Eli Attie. Eli joined the staff of The West Wing in its third season, but before his gig in fictional D.C. he worked as a political operative in the real White House, serving as a special assistant to President Bill Clinton, and then as Vice President Al Gore’s chief speechwriter. He’s also written for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, House, and Rosewood. Eli, welcome to The West Wing Weekly. ELI: It’s a great pleasure to be here. JOSH: I’m a little bit under the weather, but Lady Podcast is a cruel mistress, and she waits for no man’s cold, so if I sound congested, it’s because I’m congested.

Someone (usually Michael) says something cringeworthy and someone else (most often Jim) glances at the camera, slightly widens his eyes, and imperceptibly grimaces. That was weird, his face says, for all of us. That look was the central gag of The Office, NBC’s reimagining of a British television sitcom about life amidst corporate inanity. The joke never got old over nine seasons. Part of the show’s conceit is that a documentary camera crew is on hand capturing all this footage, allowing the characters to break the fourth wall with a running, reaction-shot commentary. A textbook example can be found in “Koi Pond,” from Season 6, when Jim (John Krasinski) finds the camera after Michael (Steve Carell) makes yet another inappropriate analogy during corporate sensitivity training. Don’t even try to count the number of times throughout The Office that eyebrows are alarmingly raised.

  • The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games 1
    Written evidence from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office FCO Public Diplomacy: the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games 1. This paper answers the Foreign Affairs Committee’s request for information on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s Olympics Public Diplomacy Activity. A short annex which describes the FCO’s programme of wider activity is attached (Annex A) to provide a broader view of the FCO’s Olympic work. 2. The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will throw a spotlight on the UK like no other sporting event in generations. It is equivalent to staging world championships in the 26 Olympic disciplines back to back. There will be an estimated global audience of 4 billion. Around 14,700 participants will attend, with 120 heads of state, 25,000 journalists and 320,000 extra foreign visitors to the UK. The Government’s International Approach 3. London 2012 will have a profound impact on the UK’s international reputation. The Government is therefore determined to ensure that the Olympics are a success and to seize all opportunities which they present. 4. The Coalition Agreement makes clear that the Government will “work with the Mayor of London to ensure a safe and successful Olympic and Paralympic Games in London in 2012, and urgently form plans to deliver a genuine and lasting legacy”. The Prime Minister and Cabinet colleagues have begun working closely together to make this happen. The Prime Minister has said publicly that we must seize “the opportunity of this great decade of sport – and especially the Olympics – to deliver a lasting tourism legacy for the whole country and not just London”.

  • Campaign Special Event Ideas
    Campaign Special Event Ideas Including one or more special events in your United Way Campaign can help motivate and promote team spirit, raise awareness and money. Special events provide co-workers with another way to support the campaign while participating in fun activities. Fabulous Food Serving food over the lunch hour or during a campaign meeting always goes over well. Remember to ask your vendors to sponsor lunch or specific items or do a trade with other local businesses. Package up leftovers after the event is done and sell additional servings for employees to take home for dinner. Walking Tacos Serve individual bags of chips with taco meat, cheese, salsa & sour cream, charge per bag of chips purchased. Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog Hot dogs or brats, chips and lemonade sold outside the office. Invite customers, employees and other local businesses to partake. Soup & Laughter Soup and bread are sold over the lunch hour in the break room along with funny classic tv shows such as Seinfeld or I Love Lucy. Lotsa-Pasta Host a pasta bar with 2 different types of pasta & 2 different types of sauces – let the employees create their own lunch, charge by the bowl. Chili Cook-off Convert you break room or conference room into a chili test kitchen. Ask employees to provide the chili, and all employees are invited to judge. They can purchase sample cups or buy a bowl of their favorite one. Ice Cream Sundaes & Rootbeer Floats Sundaes and floats are made & sold to employees, this works well when issued at the end of a meeting or the end of the day.
