Maybe the Republicans are on to something …
- “Americans are gloomier about the direction of the country than at any point since 1992… .”
- “The Angry Earth” (featuring a guest appearance by the State of Florida).
- “Chinese stocks fell after the strongest earthquake in 58 years struck southwestern Sichuan province, killing 10,000 people and damaging power plants and transmission lines.”
- “‘Gruesome scene’ in Lutz”
- “Expert: Older people more content because of lowered expectations”
- “We know Conan O’Brien, and Jimmy Fallon is now Conan O’Brien.”
And finally, a double-shot from Time:

“Americans are gloomier about the direction of the country than at any point since 1992… .”

“Older people more content because of lowered expectations.”

Also, I think that guy’s being a little hard on Jimmy Fallon. I agree, the prospect of him hosting a late-night talk show doesn’t get me in a tizzy, but at least see what he can do before busting out the insults.

I agree with you Kyle. In my opinion Jimmy Fallon can host the CBS Evening News, Late Night and The Tonight Show.
