Western Chauvinist:  Where'd he get the contraband?

No, don't tell! I wouldn't want to expose his dealer to prosecution.  · 2 hours ago

Funny you should ask. I bought the cup in LA before traveling to NYC, fearing that I wouldn't be able to find one in Fun City. It felt a little like a drug deal.

Makes me even prouder to be a part of this community. Good job, all, and happy driving to Linda and Ray.

I do not choose to run.

Sullivan & Son. Well, not really my all-time favorite, but I'm kissing up to Rob Long in the hopes of landing a guest shot.

Randy Weivoda: I think I'd prefer a single six-year term for president. Doesn't it seem like everybody is sick of the president -- no matter who he is -- by about the 7th year? · 1 hour ago

Generally speaking, that's true. So a third term would be rare. Without the 22nd, I wonder who might have had a shot at staying in office beyond eight years. Absent age and illness, maybe Reagan, and I suppose Clinton.

Paul Wilson: Who were the Presidents who went for a third term, pre-FDR? I can think of only one: Teddy Roosevelt, running on the Bull Moose Party ticket in 1912. But even he was only elected once to the Presidency, in 1904, having assumed office after the assassination of President McKinley in 1901. Grover Cleveland declined nomination by a faction of the Democrats in 1896, at the conclusion of his second, non-consecutive term. · 1 hour ago

I believe Grant also (very reluctantly) sought a third term and was denied the nomination, much to his relief.

Cool? They're practically groovy! Conservatives need to develop this kind of cutting-edge humor.

Pat Sajak: So how much risk are you willing to take?

I try to minimize risk, and it has served me well. But there's one risky endeavor I'd like to recommend to you.

Please run for the United States Senate from California.

You're very popular, and you could win.

Go ahead, give it a spin. · 21 minutes ago

Let me think about that. Er...no.

(But I appreciate the sentiment.)

Pat Sajak

Checked the list. I'm not on it. Another good year...if I can hang on till until Tuesday.

KC Mulville: Edwin Newman, the NBC reporter and language writer...

I once prepared for an interview with Edwin Newman--a truly charming man, by the way--determined not to break any grammatical rules. As he came over to the desk, shook my hand and sat down, I said, "You know, Ed...," at which time he interrupted with, "Never start a sentence with 'you know.'" My goal of perfection lasted for a grand total of one word.

Mollie Hemingway, Ed.: I'm going to limit my usage of the phrase to thrice daily. · 4 minutes ago

I understand the humor, Mollie, but your use of the word "thrice" sent me scrambling to find what follows "once, twice, thrice." As it turns out, nothing does. Not terrible important news, but I'm happy to learn almost anything.

Luckily, I ended my post with the words, "And be nice." Otherwise, some of these comments might have been pretty biting.

So it's a game show host then?

Dave Carter: By george gummy dummit, Pat.  I don't follow baseball, so that was like eating ice cream too fast and getting a brain freeze.  It does, however, make more sense than Obamanomics which, admittedly, is a low bar.    · 2 minutes ago

By george gummy?

Trace Urdan: How you got through all of that without noting the Giants had their division clinched 10 days ago, I don't understand. · 1 minute ago

If the Kansas City Star won't print the word "Redskins," I don't have to say the G word.
