This is an excellent thing to do for colon cancer awareness; however CBS' consistent support for Obamacare contradicts it since only those who are "more equal" will be able to get regular colonoscopies after Obamacare is enacted.

I had my first last month. Piece of cake. Nobody should fear this. I had nothing but a little case of diverticulitis, as do most of you.

Is this what network news people do to pump up their ratings?

Any truth to the rumor that Geraldo Rivera will be there at the unveiling?

Viewers will also learn what Smith had to do to prepare for it.

They are going to air him guzzling two quarts or so of a nasty tasting liquid then spending the next hour or two on the can emptying out his colon?

Yuck!

All I learned from that experience is why it is sometimes better to pay more money for the brand name soft butt-wipe.

Hi Harry. You remember what I told you. You know. What would happen to you if you didn't make sure my health care bill got passed?

Don't feel bad. Wait until you hear what I have in store for Nancy.
