Deep Thoughts At Midnight

Is it just me, or does this 1980s sitcom character...

...look an awful lot like this 1980s political figure?

Note the exaggerated wrinkles, prominent ears, and dark, deep set eyes. The clear acting ability. The reliance on suburban, middle-class families from California for survival. The fear of nuclear warfare. The bizarre eating habits (Jelly Bellys are bizarre...please don't write).

A question to ponder: if America only gave "ALF" four years on the air, why did it give The Gipper eight in the Oval Office?

This observer isn't sure, but somehow the aliens from "Cocoon" must be involved.

More on this breaking story as it develops.
