...about other people. Like the story I tell Conan about the guy sitting next to me on the airplane when the Internet shuts down suddenly, and he says, "This is bulls---," and I go,"How can you be angry? People owe you something that existed a minute ago?" There wasn't anybody next to me on the plane, that was me. People don't talk to me on airplanes.

...hwan, also known as “SlayerS.BoxeR”? Additionally known as “Terran Emperor,” this 28-year-old was earning $300,000 per year in salary alone, not counting product endorsements, before he entered the Korean air force two years ago.

...Obama promised weeks ago to stop the excessive bonuses on Wall Street, at a time when the existence of the coming AIG bonuses had already been disclosed by the excellent reporting of Bloomberg News. Obama's staff vowed more recently that the further infusion of taxpayer money into AIG, a firm now 80% controlled by the Federal Government, was appropriate and necessary. And now Obama was faced with the fact that his new executive-compensation policy, which applied to only a narrow subset of executives at a few institutions, was powerless to stop the worst violators at AIG from getting...
