I thought he might pass at age 90. Missed it by that much.

How ’bout this? “Killing Puppies — It Doesn’t Bother Me” … That’s me, Frank Noland, and I LIKE dead puppies! Frankly, I’m totally in favor of using federally supported municipal bonds to pay for forced busing of Soviet Communists to come into your homes to kill your puppies! Give me a call, won’t you? The lines are open. Tell ME what you think about it. Dead, mangled puppies… I like ’em …

Would they get away with those “Uncle Roy” baby-sitting sketches today? I doubt it.

If Biden were a Republican SNL would be doing “Uncle Joe” sketches after every one of his reported touchy-feely incidents.
