Well now I feel much better. I was nervous that Dave was going to have sock puppets for JWB, Herold, Richard Garrett, Willie Jett and so on. I'm so relieved he isn't doing something juvenile!

I'm hoping Judge Hughes has a ventriloquism background. Then we'll have the vaudeville feel I'm looking for.
