A Nice Mouse Car for Conan

Nice car, Conan.. I guess you're going to ABC..?

Have fun playing in the House of Mouse.

Jon Stewart is Edward R. Murrow

This is the smartest thing I've seen on television (*) in many months.  And to find it within the context of "comedy" is truly mind-bending.  An actual in-depth interview with John Yoo, the author of the legal documents which rationalized the use of torture as a means to an end in a "time of war".  It really makes one wonder why the only place where he could find a fair audience was a comedy news review show.  Either he's doing something really wrong (he is) or they are doing something really right (they are).

(*) Never mind that I didn't watch it on TV, since one can only find the eviscerating full-length interview online.

This is how I learn Ground Zero is no longer a hole in the ground

I live a half mile away (across the Hudson) and the first way I learn that it's no longer a crab hole is that a Subway (no pun intended) is going up (literally) on site.

Eager dandelions

It seems like the results of Slate's Write Like Sarah Palin contest are in (out?).  I didn't make the cut, but I still like my entry:

“As I looked out on the standing-room-only crowd at the state fair rally, their faces lit in the afternoon sun like eager dandelions, I thought of my common-sense ideas, wafting at them from the PA system like a gentle zephyr, blowing through their minds and spreading the seeds of small-government reform throughout our great land.”

But I have to take off my shoes to get on the plane, myself
