Michael: RL finally let go of its strangle hold, did it? So, not so long and not really funny, either. Except for the part where Lois <<tests Clark's invulnerablity>> When Lex asks for a paternity test to confirm the little bun really is his and not Clark’s after the horrendous events of PML and what Lex did during the time? Wow! That was a quick courtship, marriage, and honeymoon. /watches as Lois goes googly-eyed again/ CLARK: And you guys say I don't know what to say to make Lois all soft in the knees. Can they print that in the Smallville Post? SMALLVILLE POST: Judge Tells Sheriff: Three Strikes and You're Out! Well, he hasn’t yet attempted to actually steal a story. Or sleep with her, so… LOIS: What a great image of what happened inside Clark's chest. It’s always worked before. LOIS:

-- Response to Michael's FDK -- Cont. LOIS: It’s Cat, isn’t it? No, wait, you’re way too chummy with her. And why are you so chummy with her anyway. So, it’s Linda, then? OMG, it *is* Linda! CLARK: Okay, okay. It was Lana, Lana Lang. LOIS: Lana? Smallville Lana? But she's been married for almost 10 years to Hank? You're lying to me again, aren't you? CLARK: It was a different Lana. LOIS: Strange coincidence, isn't it? That there were two women in the world named Lana Lang? CLARK: How did you know Hank's wife's maiden name was Lang? LOIS: <<holds out hand>> Hi, I'm Lois Lane, 3 time Kerth Award winner for INVESTIGATIVE Journalism. :rolleyes: CLARK: Right. <<grins sheepishly>> Funny story that... LOIS: <<Holds up hand>> Save your breath. <<ER Imagination>> LOIS: <<fanning self>> My, it's getting hold in here. Oh. Oh! OH! VERY, *very* hot. I need to take off some of my clothes and jump on my partner... That’s just self-preservation. Like Lois wouldn't enjoy it. How about Superman also wears a blue muscle shirt with the logo and red speedos? LOIS: Sounds good to me. Like, why are our kids spinning in the wrong direction? CLARK: I'm actually from Australia. G'day. Right, he already knows he’s not responsible Poor Clark, he doesn't even know how much he upsets his rival. LEX: <<sniffling>> Exactly. LEX: No, it's not time for my congical visits with Ari. Maybe if he ordered him hit? LOIS: That man! He shot you! Clark, why aren't you lying in a puddle of blood? CLARK: Oh, right. Sorry. Oh, dear, you're thinking like a minion, Michael. Have you been sick? /hands Lex Evil Overlord handbook/ LEX: <<lifts up earmarked copy>>I have one, and it says here on page 134, "When ridding oneself of an enemy who has progressed past the level of nuisance, one must be sure to do it in a complex way, with many opportunities to escape which will inevitably fail." Because it’s scientifically speaking, nonsense. CLARK: I double majored in Journalism and Physics. So, they shouldn’t put her on the stand? Why do you think Perry is holding her down? “ADA Cheng ordered children shot during court hostage crises” by Lois Lane Sidebar: ADA Cheng to run for DA this spring, by Ralph Spagoda. Technically, I believe that the Attorney for the City (aka, City Attorney) is in another branch of the judical from the ADAs.

He really thinks he’s getting ahead in the game, isn’t he? CLARK: I'm not? Small town news gets such a bad rap. It’s really hard when the boy has no idea how to who the girl, huh? LOIS: How to who the girl? Marhta nurtured him at her bosom, while Lois, well, Clark’s still stuck with using x-ray vision. LOIS: And this is my fault, how? CLARK: You mean, I could have...? Oh dear. The 1950s first edition instead of the 2000 revised one. Let me guess, he got it from his father body when he checked his pockets and kept it for sentimental reasons. LEX: <<checks 1993 calender>> And HOW did you get a copy of a book that hasn't been published yet? Details, unimportant for funny FDK?

I am guessing Max's mom voted for him. And since you had to write in Hank, he probably got a few other votes here and there. And if it was a special election, than I would be surprised if even 1000 people voted. It was probably 493 to 15.

Virginia you are right the city attorney is a totally different think than the District Attorney. The city attorney advises the city on legal matters, and goes to court on behalf of the city.
I am not sure how New Troy is set up (OK, since it does not exist, and is sort of New York, except I think in this espisode they mention New York, and the map in the pilot makes it look at least to me like Metropolis is in Pennsylvania, so we just know it is not New Jersey <from what they say in "Twas the Night Before Mxymass"> so you probably have multiple options on how the DA works. In Michigan we don't even call the state(ish) prosecutors DAs, we call them County Prosecutors, because they are elected by county. There are federal district attorney's (I think we have at two in Michigan) who handle federal cases, but in most other states they also have state DAs who are elected by "district" that may or may not correspond to anything.
That said, being the DA would probably be a step up from being the city attornye (especially if Chung is not the city attorney, but just on the staff), so I could imagine the city attorney running for the more powerful position of DA. Federal DAs are not elected, but appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the senate, and I don;t think any state has more than four (each of which covers a specific part of the state). New York City though is split between two US District Attorney's though, although both cover more than the city.

Originally posted by John Lambert: I am guessing Max's mom voted for him. Since Max's mom knows him better than most people and wants what's best for her county, I'm guessing "no". But I'm sure she told him she voted for him. And since you had to write in Hank, he probably got a few other votes here and there. And if it was a special election, than I would be surprised if even 1000 people voted. It was probably 493 to 15. Thank you for the political analysis. Virginia you are right the city attorney is a totally different think than the District Attorney. The city attorney advises the city on legal matters, and goes to court on behalf of the city. I have learned some things from watching crime drama on TV. That said, being the DA would probably be a step up from being the city attornye (especially if Chung is not the city attorney, but just on the staff), so I could imagine the city attorney running for the more powerful position of DA. I believe that the DA's (and ADAs for that matter) from the show represent the State of NT, as opposed to being Federal DAs. Isn't Tudors 16th century? Yes. But isn't the 19th century closer to the 16th century in language than the 20th / 21st centuries? <<And the reference to the Tudors was a joke>>

It’s just too much fun torturing him, isn’t it? I've only just gotten started. CLARK: <<to EW>> *woo* I *knew* it felt just totally wrong. Okay, now it makes sense. And, no, Clark has no idea how to woo. LOIS: You make me sound like a dog. CLARK: They might just clone him so they could kill him all over again. No, then someone might think he's alive and the clone might change Lex's will. No, they sent those to Metropolis.

I believe that the DA's (and ADAs for that matter) from the show represent the State of NT, as opposed to being Federal DAs. I would agree with that assesment, but that position would still be seen as a step up from city attorney.

That's some Christmas gift! Good point. Also, I didn’t mean *all* parts till Christmas, just the catching up part. Otherwise, it might cause EW inbox overload. CLARK: <unhappy about treatment> My, he really can’t take any, can he? No wonder Lois won’t put out for him. LOIS: You make me sound like a dog.
CLARK: <thinks he has an idea about ‘dog’ and ‘mad’, but then it’s gone again> Michael

My Inbox can handle it. My, he really can’t take any, can he? No wonder Lois won’t put out for him. LOIS: I won't? I mean, Right! I won't! <<Rolls eyes at the dark menace newbie>> That’s why you keep him chained up at the bottom of a well. Right. Of course, sorry.
