Conan, unlike many satirists, just goes way beyond making fun of either side of a controversy. He just makes it stupid. (This is not a criticism of Conan O'Brien. I happen to think stupid is funny!) It might be more accurate to say that he is making fun of the controversy itself.

Not a huge Conan fan. He should go back to writing for the Simpsons rather than telling his own jokes. Remember how funny The Simpsons were back in the early seasons? That's because Conan wrote for them.

Glen’s right, this game promotes the beating of homo-sexuals. Thank you Conan O’Brien for bringing this travesty to our immediate attention.
Of course, we will have to ban the censored version of Final Fight as well, because in place of the ladies being part of the mad gear gang, you have homosexuals (or at least really effeminate men).

Posted 11/08/09 at 08:46am JDKJ: @DS: If he had added the line about "or hiring illegals aliens under the table to work as nannies," it would have been a completely perfect descripition. And, yes, it's about the same difference between a six and a half-dozen.

Posted 11/08/09 at 01:07am Austin_Lewis: Health insurance, brought to you by the same kind of bureacrats who couldn't, in timely fashion, investigate the comments of any of the men Obama appointed Czars. Or their past. Or their history of not paying taxes.
Posted 11/08/09 at 01:06am Austin_Lewis: Yes, and what a piece of crap it was. Arresting and fining people just because they don't make a personal choice to buy healh insurance, creating over a hundred new bureacracies, and worse.

Posted 11/07/09 at 10:58am JDKJ: Which could be explained by both (a) and (b).
Posted 11/07/09 at 10:56am Austin_Lewis: JDKJ: You forgot C) the fact that, for some reason, every time he did something that would suggest he shouldn't be in the military, let alone an officer, higher ups ignored it or let it slide.
Posted 11/07/09 at 10:51am JDKJ: Part of the problem is, I believe, that (a) the Army had a lot of time and money already invested in him and which they were unwilling to simply write-off and (b) an increasing need for the type of skills and services he provided.
Posted 11/07/09 at 10:48am JDKJ: And that even if he was begging not to get cut loose, he was apparently a real good candidate for being cut loose, anyway.
Posted 11/07/09 at 10:11am JDKJ: @chada: And while Kennedy once noted that there's usually more than enough blame for everyone to get a slice, the possibility that the Army was unwilling to cut loose someone who was asking to get cut loose could be a factor.
