Aaron Burr + TV = Crazy Hilarious

If you've seen Lazy Sunday, you know that two of the funniest things that have ever been on TV -- Lazy Sunday and the "Get Milk" ad where the guy can't answer the radio trivia question because his mouth of full of peanut butter and he has no milk -- prominently feature Aaron Burr references. (If you haven't seen Lazy Sunday, where you been? Go to YouTube.com, type in "lazy sunday" and download it. "Are you buyin' what we're handlin'?/You can call us Aaron Burr/From the way we're droppin' Hamiltons.") I'll bet if you had told Burr's contemporaries 200 years ago that he would be such a good source of jokes, they wouldn't have believed you. This is the guy who ran for Vice-President on a ticket with Thomas Jefferson and, when they tied in the Electoral College (because someone screwed up and didn't withhold one vote from Burr), wouldn't defer and threw the election into the House of Representatives.

Oh, well, apparently even heavy, balding and not-very-honest Vice-Presidents can be funny eventually.
