Support Him

I'll make this appeal brief. Time is of the essence and the urgency is high. It's time to dig deep, people, and it's time to show your support. Show that you are with CoCo. Head on over to I'm With CoCo. He needs it. You know who I'm talking about here, friends. Conan. Conan O'Brien. He of "The Tonight Show" fame. He of the inexplicable and gravity-defying red hair. He gave us Triumph, the Comic Insult Dog who, in turn, spawned the FUNNIEST run-in with "Star Wars" nerds to EVER be captured on video. I'm serious...the most awesome thing ever, but try and find it on the 'net. The fascists at NBC have made it nigh unto impossible. Kind of like they are going to make it nigh unto impossible to watch anything on their cruddy network anymore once they push Conan off the air to bring Leno back. Do we need Leno back on "The Tonight Show?" No, no we do not. Jimmy Kimmel said it best when he eviscerated Leno on Leno's own show, when he said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Leave our shows alone. Conan and I have children. You have $800 million dollars." It was a singularly awesome moment. So, please, show your support for Conan. Our nation needs him.

I love this country. Is it inane or what?! While the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti, has been decimated, literally decimated, by an earthquake, leaving hundreds of thousands dead and millions homeless, we are gripped by the ongoing implosion of NBC and the "drama" between two late-night TV hosts. We are a messed-up country, but, boy I'm glad to live here. That being said, if you can't throw your support behind CoCo, please throw it to the Red Cross. They need it. Haiti and its people need it.
