The Ed Begley segments were an outright Hoot to those like me who've had to endure endless years of the "bike ride to fight hunger" "walkathons for peace" "Cindy Sheehan and her magic carpet ride" reportages, Martin Sheen and his obnoxious "hunger strikes" -- blow by blows covered 24-7 as "breaking news" in the MSM.

Let me know, I'd be interested to see what you do with it.
