I’ve never had so much sports news in one column.  Even Kamala Harris’ choice for vice president has an athletic slant – although I don’t know firsthand which way it slants.  Sure, I knew Tim Walz was a high school teacher.  He not only taught social studies, he was also the coach for the football team.  But what I didn’t know is that while he was coaching the football team, he was also the faculty advisor to the Gay-Straight Alliance.  In fact, the students voted him Most Inspiring Faculty Member.  That’s my kinda veep.

Does anyone out there think Walz looks familiar?  More than a few have noted a resemblance to Steve Martin – so much so that Lorne Michaels has asked him to play Walz on Saturday Night Live.  Alas, Martin turned down the offer.  He told Lorne, “I’m not an impressionist.  You need someone who can really nail the guy.”  Steve felt he was only chosen because he has gray hair and glasses.  In that case, I think Larry David has some time on his hands.
