I'll have to watch just to see who will be the American Revolution's Shelby Foote in his documentary.

I'd like to know which teams were part of the original six, as both leagues had more than six when they began.

Instead, we got Kenny Rogers and a lot of other singers.

It's almost like they think because they have health care with their job, then everyone does.

(raises hand) I lived in Houston 20+ years, so I'm obviously overqualified to be FEMA director.

Maybe she thinks she's speaking to people who voted for her...

They only need Roman numerals for Super Bowls and fancy old clocks

Were these state crimes or federal? Trump can't pardon him for state crimes, or he already would have pardoned himself.

Thompson's district (he's my Congressman) is primarily rural and farmland. If he wants to keep his constituents happy, he'll look out for the farmers. Unfortunately, it's also a safe district.

And still needs a shirt with his name on it to know who he is.

It's missing a pencil mustache.

Does he realize that his opponent in 2028 could then be Barack Obama, who is more than a decade younger than he is?

I talked about isolationism in the 1920s and 1930s. It was fun interjecting, "And this is why people should study history, so they don't repeat what didn't work."

Does that include Spiro Agnew, who had to resign?

My 10th grade English teacher told us we were going to read Shelley. We booed her, until she passed out copies of Frankenstein.

Properly, the names should also be in French.

My Toyota was made in the U.S. My brother's Chrysler was made in Canada. Which is an American car?

Not enough exhibits on Trump, too many diversity exhibits, or Melania's gowns in the First Ladies exhibit aren't the prettiest?

Doesn't requiring a passport or Real ID to vote violate the 24th amendment, as both require payment similar to a poll tax?

It's that time of the year when instead of segue I see segway on applications.

I think the only thing that might happen from that Trump-Putin phone call is the hockey game between the U.S. and Russia. But it must be played in Lake Placid...

But those were actual wars. We're not in a state of war with any nation, unless he's trying to use Nancy Reagan's War on Drugs as the justification. Alien Enemy Act only valid during time of war.
