DOUBLE VISION 

Here's this kind of theme again. I'll just list the theme answers and you can see for yourself.

WOODSWOODSCREWCREW - Group that Tiger hires to install wall art?
SPAMSPAMALOTALOT - Send fan mail en masse to a Monty Python production?
MADMADISONISON - Angry early president can be seen now in TV footage?
DEMDEMAGOGAGOG - Hotheaded liberal politico who's eager to hear?
PROPROCURESCURES - Pharmacist comes through for customers?
REDREDACTIONACTION - Editor's strike?
POSTPOSTAGEAGE - Email era?
WHOOWHOOPIEPIE - "Suh-weet! I love this sandwich cookie!"?

It's so much. And there's so much of it. The best (and possibly only good) one is POSTPOSTAGEAGE. 

WEED (Creeping Charlie)

Nice misdirection in "Little flap, maybe" (PETDOOR). "There short for a favorite" (ODDS) was excellent. And I kinda knew what they were doing with "Liver spot?," but it still took me a while to come up with ABODE

Do people really get laser therapy for ACNE? I had no idea.

And finally, I can't hear the word ENSUE without thinking of the lines of Donne quoted in the beginning of Millay's great sonnet cycle: "By our first strange and fatal interview, / By all desires which thereof did ENSUE."

- Horace
