How do I get an idea to SNL? I just thought of a great sketch. Ben Shapiro arguing with a Menards or Home Depot employee about 2+4's.

"Words have meaning. You call it a 2x4 when it is in fact 1.5 x 3.5."

We hear often about Late Night and Freedom of Speech (mostly from Boomers) "Well, Johnny Carson didn't do politics." It's true he rarely gave his own opinion, but when the Tonight Show was 90 mins he had journalists or pundits to discuss politics for the last half hour.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Here’s a pro tip if you call a local history collection in Lansing:

Don’t call and say “I’m the Oldsmobile guy” because we know about 20,000 of you and will not remember the last question we helped you with.
