The Tammy Grimes Show (1 of 3)
I saw Tammy Grimes recently for the first time in “Can’t Stop the Music” on my DVR.

Dennis Miller Calls DC Dexter Town
I’m loving this quote from the Dennis Miller interview by Jeffrey Ressner over at Politico.
Q: Was there ever a point in your life when you considered running for office?
