Get out your fiddle, Mr. Nero.

A weekend viewing tip - Stephen Colbert will be The Governor's guest on Huckabee 8 & 11 PM (both Eastern and Pacific) Saturday and Sunday night on Fox News (if you can stand watching that channel for an hour which I am sure there are not many around these parts who can)

Confidentially the only time I watch Fox News is when Huckabee is doing his show or is a guest on another program. The establishment cusses over there constantly trashing my candidate for months during the Primaries has taken its toll.
