Merv Griffin in Critical Condition

[Merlinsky]

Apparently he's now gravely ill but Entertainment Tonight also said the latest news is he had a good night last night so there's hope. Merv's such a life force. I hope we get to enjoy this wonderful man for a long time to come. I don't mean to be anything other than optimistic but I just felt like saying that I don't think it'd be out of line to consider Merv as one of those people you ultimately honor with race named after him (just bringing that up makes me feel like I'm saying I don't expect him to make it and I don't want to think about it like that). He could recover and live another 20 years, who knows, but the feeling shining out of him when he sings "My Old Kentucky Home" is magic. He's done a lot for the sport I feel and at some point they should consider recognizing him as they did Bob Lewis.

The key might be that currency up there isn't the same down there. I mean if streets are paved with gold, gathering up a bunch on planet Earth is kinda silly. Aid to road construction isn't what they're looking for. Maybe the most valuable thing to try to buy your way in with is something else, like marshmallow peeps.
