I always thought the funniest name EVER for a TV show was "Alan Keyes is Making Sense." I lived in Maryland when he was running for office there, and the guy is just a loon. My jaw dropped when I heard he was running for the Senate in IL. He was interviewed on NPR yesterday and said that the difference between him and Hillary is, the people came to HIM and BEGGED him to run!
