The elephant in the room

There's a topic out there that everybody's afraid to ask me about. I don't know why, but at parties and whatnot where I've heard other people talking about it, everytime I've walked up to the group, they've quieted down and changed the subject. So right here, right now I'm going to tackle it head on.

Yes, yes, I really do think Betty White should host Saturday Night Live! That lady is a national treasure, and she deserves all the accolades coming her way. I've followed her career very closely over the years, from her time as Sue Ann Nivens on the Mary Tyler More show to her role as one of the old ladies on Golden Girls, plus whatever other stuff she did before and in between and since. Every time, she has proven herself time and again to be a fabulous comedian (or is it comedienne?).

Sure, she's not all that hot anymore, but only because she's about 95 years old. You should have seen her back when she was in that other show back about 50 years ago or whatever. Or maybe it was 60 or 70 years ago, I don't know all the details. But she was pretty hot. Or maybe I'm getting her confused with Ann-Margret. She was pretty hot too.

Anyway, all I know is that Betty White deserves to be on Saturday Night Live. Betty, if you're reading, tell your agent that ol' Babe thinks you have the chops to host that show. I mean, have you watched that show lately? It really sucks. Other than the Digital Short by Andy Sandlerberg, you can usually watch the entire thing without cracking a smile. Betty White would be a breath of fresh air, even if she is older than dirt.

Now, when does baseball season start again?
