This is a weekly program with commentary on current issues.

Dear Mr. President-elect,

Congratulations on your historic victory. I watched your Election Night speech and I’ve got to say you looked awfully serious. More like worried. Right there in front of the whole world, you promised your kids a new puppy. I could tell you didn’t have a clue about what kind of puppy to bring to the White House.

Look, you’re going to have to make thousands of decisions. Wouldn’t it be nice to get one out of the way right now? That is why I am urging you not to get an Old English sheepdog.
