“Jay Leno Show” theater ad
I saw this before “District 9” last weekend…and I have to say, this is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen Jay do. Hell, this is edgier (and dare I say, funnier) than Conan’s remotes over the past few months.

Rich Lowry - Regarding that Pelosi and Hoyer op-ed yesterday, I wonder what country they think they’re living in. I don’t think anyone should be shutting down town-hall meetings with chanting, etc. (it’s not un-American, it’s just rude and uncivil), but most of what seems to be going on at these town halls — hostile questions directed at nonplussed congressmen, accompanied with...
