Boycott Aruba?

This is different - I just saw this on the news (I rarely watch the news on TV). Natalee Holloway who disappeared in Aruba earlier this year has never been found and her family hasn't gotten much response from authorities in Aruba. So the Governor of Alabama is requesting that the nation boycott travel to Aruba to hit 'em where it hurts.

Allison DuBois is a real person

I never realized that Patricia Arquette's character on Medium, Allison DuBois, was based on a real person.

She came out with a book called Don't Kiss Them Goodbye. It looks like she got a 3 book deal (at least Amazon lists two more).

I just saw two good Medium quotes at the IMDB so I thought I'd mention them.

Allison Dubois: It's 9 PM. How am I supposed to know you're OK? How do I know you're not lying dead somewhere?
Joe Dubois: If something had happened, somebody would've called. If I were dead, who are we kidding, you'd be the first to know.

[Joe + Ariel are both trying to talk to Allison at once]
Ariel (Daughter): This is completely unfair! I had her first, Dad.
Joe (Husband): No, point in fact, I had her first or else you wouldn't be here.
