“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

There’s no accounting for taste, or what the American public will salivate over in terms of media nonsense. Case in point: The Jay Leno – Conan O’Brien Saga of Tremense Proportions. I could care less which one of these guys is on which channel and at what time…if ever again. We (those of us on Earth) are dealing with two vital wars, a tragedy in Haiti that has tragic ramifications, we are starting to lose our Democratic grip in the Senate, Barack Obama is walking around like a wounded puppy, and this is the big news…every day for the past… Read More »

You have to love these people for they know not who they are. They only know who they think they are.
