I like him on at 9pm mtn time. I watch Jon Stewart till 9:30 then I switch to Leno so I don't have to watch Colbert. Not into Colbert. . Later I'll watch Letterman if I'm awake. Leno is so much better than Conan. In my most humble opinion. I don't like watching Conan adjust his Beaufort hairdo repeatedly.

Although I respect the guy and his talent, just not my cup o' tea. Actually, not into any of the network late-night shows but if I do happen to watch one, it would be Conan or Letterman.

@ John--it's not a contest (this coming from someone who's served in a war). There are some amazing books on what amounts to criminal dereliction demonstrated by the last Administration regarding the planning and execution of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

"Operation Iraqi Freedom." No, that's no joke, folks.

I guess the... Read More Bush's decided they were not going to be outdone by the Kennedy's--if Jack was going to have his Vietnam, then by golly George was gonna have one, too. He got it. And so did we. Thanks a lot.

Love those crosswords! I have a method; I approach it by only solving clues that I have already started from another clue, thus cris-crossing words. It's an interesting way to go!

Jaws, Session 9, Alien, Silence of the Lambs, REC, Paranormal Activity, Identity, I'd say there are more than a few mr. Scorcese missed and a number are pretty recent--not the Saw/Hostel gross out crap, but some good, creepy stuff. Do check out Session 9 if you've never seen it. Quite the creep-out.

Bill Davis, that's an oversimplification and you know it. Are you really so uneducated as to believe that all religions are equal? They may receive equal protection under the law but they are far from equal.

I shouldn't have to explain the differences, but one major one is this: has Scientology ever sponsored an act of terrorism? Or is it more ... Read Moreconcerned with art and entertainment? Tom Cruise is the most notable member of Scientology. Osama Bin Laden is the most famous Muslim. The Catholic Church doesn't allow its adherents to stone adulterers, while over a dozen Islamic states do that and much worse.

Please pull your head out.

Whitney Oakley Hamrick,

You're just spouting out typical anti Scientology rhetoric without providing any evidence. And please don't spam this thread with links to professional Scientology apostates.

And of course you're probably going to accuse me of being "one of them", but whatever. What do I care about your uninformed opinions? Anti-Scientology is the new Anti-Semitism. ... Read More

Xenu loves you.
