I can't wait for his new show to come on TBS. It will be the start of a new chapter in late night TV. I saw Conan on tour the other night and it was awesome.

Unlike other techniques, Kreg Jig requires no glue, no complicated math, and no small army of clamps to make wood joints that will last.

Our forefathers knew that a two party system would be our downfall and took steps to try to stop this type of politics, and thus anyone who seriously thinks that politics isn't corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn't not been paying attention. George Jr. will go down in History as one of the worst administrations in history and I could go on for hours showing why, but my point is that the Obama administration has offered nothing different (besides health reform, granted) and has in fact continued nearly every single Bush program. Obama has almost the same political donors and thus has the same pressures as Bush did. Health reform will turn out to be the most expensive and destructive waste of tax payer money ever. I just wish I could offer a better alternative for other frustrated people, but I can't and those that think that the tea partiers are the future, remember that Sarah Palin is an important figure to them.

Strident liberalism is just as un-funny as strident conservativism. Maybe. Then again, even the funny conservatives (Buckley) are more "witty" than "funny." You may be right, sir.

I'm not sure that conservatism is inherently less funny - I think the type of conservatism you're referring to relies on ignorance for its survival. It may be funny to watch (when it isn't being scary) but it's hard to be witty or clever when yer not, duh, witty - or clever. Conservatism and ignorance don't necessarily go hand in hand - conservative leaders just seem to be good at capitalizing on it. That’s a good question that I never cared about until you asked.
