OLDER: President says he’s not losing sleep over war on Fox.
If he does, may we suggest he watch Red Eye.
NEWER: Get your shovels: Global warming is piling up all over the country

Pat from Michigan October 24, 2009, 7:28 pm at 7:28 pm: Soupy was the cream of the crop in so far as ‘live’ TV comedians were concerned. His TV show was a classic and his sense of humor was wacky and irrevelant. Often duplicated but never outdone. We will miss you Soupy.
