TVNL Editor's Comments This morning I was watching an early episode of Happy Days. Richie Cunningham upset his father because he supports a Democrat for president. His father was outraged and he lectured Richie about how Democrats solve all their problems with war and how Republicans are the party of peace and prosperity!!! My brain almost imploded when I heard this!
