Dancer turned 61 wow Maureen Dowd.

Wow -- do we know that for a fact -- -- -- may also assumes no well it's it's it's.

Throughout the week various emails and are always this whole artists and brilliant.

And auto related discussion we felt that -- I think -- great.

You know looking one of the greatest interviewers ever -- just incredibly funny comedian and -- also -- a good actor.

I love the stuff he writes for the times on line to do you see that.

All of course I don't because it's a total Britain because they wrote a column has to make that he sent me to ask -- what I thought.

Yeah and is about to gun control -- no its staunchest supporter.

All of a far stricter gun control laws don't even their talking about now economic Don older.

I know that however they -- the gun laws -- we have in this country are insane.

And and and and offensive -- Paulson.

So -- and he knows that.

Right so every Friday about his infatuation.

With a little girl and you'll have to read your column to jumps right out grave and so -- he says.

All -- -- -- Don Imus additional the ordinarily intelligent Laura Ingraham was chastising Bob Costas who -- -- doesn't creep.

And about.

Him pontificating.

About to have done -- -- some sporting event and that's our point -- so what Dick Caster what I thought.

Are warning mechanism -- I'd love lumped me -- -- bastard.

Recruit sort of submitted making -- appear.

As though I support they've lightweight idiots and their positions under control or pretty -- -- Of course they did not mean Albert bell -- -- we have a lengthy email exchange and then.

-- he talks about in his column when he met.

Yeah Charles Schulz who got your payments yeah punished more damage said.

For for some reason capital was tell -- about.

-- -- -- -- -- -- And Charles Schulz.

You brought a bunch home -- -- war.

And he would send to capitol -- And -- reports but he never did.

We're supports my contention.

That most people say stuff and never do it Ayatollah every kid has ever been in the -- but the first -- -- -- -- -- most people are forward.

That's absolutely true you have people -- when they're offering something for -- are often begins something -- set you up with something.

I find the idea of -- Charles -- being eighty.

Having -- -- of bloomers malaria for mean peanuts -- -- -- -- to lay ups to things you'd think would be in the same sentence.

One of the only people on the planet.

Hula -- the -- -- a lot of Reading and dealings -- There's an eight time world champion cowboys drove beaver for one time he was appearing named art out of that it is -- -- of the national real tunnels of Las Vegas.

And is said -- -- on next.

Buckle our -- buckles are valuable you know until the next Michael I -- -- send your son Wyatt.

That are sure.

The next 91 about a three -- led to the workable why should dress.

That from both of them that the exception that doesn't prove the rule -- mean that's.

That's that's amazing.

He's not he's now why has -- your approach we're gonna charge -- -- Richard -- -- -- -- so anyway I told kava -- civil -- make amends.

And a subsequent call.

I so I hope this is not a Charles -- promise.

-- I'm curious to ask you one thing about god do you think even if there were stricter.

-- and and it seems now there's some public mood to have stricter laws.

Wouldn't 300 million guns out there isn't gonna really make a difference.

Yeah.

And I think is just about that just philosophically.

Psychologically ethically and morally.

Hall -- -- at least a minute ago.

Whether and you -- far strict stricter got a lot of help people go by the -- -- being -- I have underweight two weeks.

And I mean had Anderson -- -- -- I can buy ammunition but -- -- bought a while but without I don't know how these people gift these guns well.

-- it it is amazing but of course and they are unlikely that seems you're actually obeying the law I suspect -- -- people find ways around that they do would.

-- With anything else you know.

It's amazing what people can do as he has -- having this conversation -- a friend of mine now last night actually and saying.

Which -- -- another scandal which is that it is -- bad driving in the fact that.

Elderly relatives including some of our own drove much too long have museum several times -- steal their behind the -- Lincoln and can kill people.

And why this battle out and and of course.

-- get around -- might my stepfather actually was basically killed by car crash.

I was I was constantly having his driver's license rescinded -- -- -- -- -- in another state when he -- we've found that -- -- -- different to driver's licenses.

So -- occasions does but still.

Where should we should enact stricter gun laws just because we -- Yes and I couldn't agree more don't read more guns grenades you're dogs and I'm not suggesting that people like me and others should -- guns responsible people.

But I mean you can't -- -- -- -- government can't lump them all license.

Right.

No I I.

I actually I think it's great to do that you feel this way in the and you know -- there are are others like it or other responsible gun owners feel loosely very strongly.

And then there people who just crazy who -- have to gun shows they have afternoon -- to get more -- -- I just did you know I don't even undersea of the psychology of that.

Digression here like a drunken well -- more -- dollars.

Here's the party's right how did you watch a Golden Globes.

Oh yes yeah well.

-- -- -- that Amy Poehler and Tina -- were really funny or they really really funny.

And -- -- interest that.

The Jodie -- speech I honestly don't have a strong opinion I don't know what to make a -- it was so riveting.

And weirdness.

What do you think of it.

I don't know I feel great empathy for people who a couple of those torment -- lives in.

And I don't know why they just and.

Idols what I also feel great have -- -- for anyone -- started as a child actor EO has been in public since age three.

It was riveting I don't know what to make of it but I thought it was fast thing that -- and Daniel Day-Lewis notwithstanding that the Lincoln loosen up.

A font Jamie oversight and yet she has Jon Stewart like ability.

But delivering -- and -- what you delivered the line when nobody plans to warn.

That complex housing guard to resort and.

It ever it it really was also lower write about.
