Yea, so we tape and watch old Johnny Carson Shows...had one last eve that featured Dana Carvey...'88, I think...very funny dude...'hey dude'...before dude was a name for everyone...which prompted me to talk to my remote...and voila!...we had a 'Dana Carvey Special' pop up...an hour of his non-stop banter...lawdy, he is way creative...an HBO production...seek it out...

You need a poll?...FOX News has a beaut out...just released...Melania is more popular than the Prez...and just why is this a question?...'hello, this is Fox, and we'd like to ask you this...do you like Melania more than Donald?'...should be, Melania or Ivanka...right?...
