Pence, any comment yet on who won the 2020 Presidential election, or do you need still more time to think?
And Pence, while we wait on you to decide for yourself who won the 2020 election, what is this about your reportedly looking for "a new home in the Washington suburbs?” We thought you loved Indiana and could not bear to be away from your home state.
In honor of Vice President, recall that “Indiana Wants Me” by R. Dean Taylor was a big hit a half-century ago this year. In its lyrics, Taylor sings,
"It hurts to see the man that I've become...
Indiana wants me
Lord, I can't go back there."
Presume that after January 20, Pence will make his own “You’re Welcome, America” tour, so that Americans can thank him for his courageous, tireless and self-sacrificing efforts, as head of President’s task force, to fight the tragic pandemic.

"Henry F. Potter" denounced “little" people as “chumps” and “suckers” — played by Lionel Barrymore as villain of “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946):
“George Bailey,” as played by Jimmy Stewart, after his home town has been turned by the greedy Potter into honky-tonk “Pottersville” — “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946):
Carol Borland in “Mark of the Vampire,” which opened in some theaters 85 years ago this week:
During each appearance in “Mark of the Vampire” (1935), Carol Borland refuses to speak and walks as if in a trance. She inspired other more recent characters, such as Lily in “The Munsters” (1964-1966):
“The Munsters” wish you a Merry Christmas, including two actors with political connections. Al Lewis (“Grandpa”) ran for Governor of New York (Green Party) in 1998, and Pat Priest (“Marilyn”) was daughter of Treasurer of United States under Eisenhower.
Let me tell you again about the night I hosted the Prime Minister of Japan for dinner — right over there. . .
Right, it was the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake you've ever seen — and then, right on the piazza, the Pentagon called. It was one of my generals. . .
