...lack of physical stature. He and Hysen have been knocking on the doors of every single freshman dorm room and speaking to whomever will listen about their vision for the Undergraduate Council.

But the Obama Administration is changing all that, having directed $1.2 billion to pay for summer jobs for youths. Every state is now flush with stimulus dollars - ranging from about $3 million (in Wyoming...
...crap out on the post-boomers. The Tonight Show is still a lucrative platform, but it's not the singular cultural voice it was when Jay took over. Conan competes for attention with Jimmy Kimmel, David Letterman, Stephen Colbert and more - plus whatever happens to be on TiVo, Xbox or the Internet.
