Life is better when Tracey Ullman has a sketch comedy series on the air.

Showtime will oblige starting March 30 with five half-hours of "Tracey Ullman's State of the Union," which promises to feature a calvacade of characters, including Tracey's take on everyone from Arianna Huffington (pictured), Nancy Pelosi, Renee Zellweger and David Beckham. Each seg is described as a satirical look at a day in the life of America. In an election year, we're going to need the wit of this Brit to keep us sane and silly. Can't wait.
