The Whole Leno/Conan Thing

Y'know, I haven't watched "The Tonight Show" in ages, but I've started tuning in since the entire blow-up with NBC. Glad I did. The bit with "30 Rock's" Kenneth the Page last night was absolutely golden.

Obama May Have Just Made Himself a One-Term President

President Obama made repeated promises during the campaign about more transparency in government, including specifying that health care debates would be televised on C-Span. But now the Senate wants to have the final discussion behind closed doors, and for the sake of expediency, Obama is not opposing that. Of course, if he DID [...:]
