Musty TV

I watch too much TV. And so should you.

Check Please, Mr. PresidentJanuary 6

Barack Obama once appeared on the PBS show "Check, Please!", the Chicago edition, I presume. The fact that the President of the United States was on that show is, to me, awesome.



Apparently the entire episode will be re-run in Chicago on the 16th.
