- Gee I hope you don't get paid for your suppositions...
-
- Put me down as conservative, don't like Howard Stern or most sitcoms
- Murphy Broown or any other, don't care for Rush L. and love Letterman.
-
- I also loved the Dana Carvey bits on SNL and apparently Mr. Bush did
- also.

- If you had given yourself another minute or two to think I suppose you
- could have figured out that Bush/Quayle were Pres/V.Pres for the last
- few years... just who do you think that Letterman will be joking about
- for the next four ? Oh, but you figure that the audience won't laugh.

- of wasting everybody's time with half-baked ideas you could be imposing
- new tax laws based upon them.
