Like a boss.
After The Next Generation began Stewart soon found that he missed acting on the stage. Although he remained associated with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the lengthy filming for the show prevented Stewart from participating in most other works. He instead began writing one-man shows that he performed in California universities and acting schools. Stewart found that one—a version of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol in which he portrayed all 40-plus characters—was ideal for him because of its limited performing schedule.
This was the first appearance of a celebrity on Sesame Street.
“It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It’s not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right, your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound re-invention.”
The entire speech is brilliant, and Conan’s simple, short seriousness in the last few minutes is what makes this a memorable, attention span-holding speech that resounds with this generation.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth cause a stir at Walmart in Cullman, Alabama
Warnke says she doesn’t have any idea why Cyrus was in the Cullman Walmart, although she says rumors have been flying that Miley or her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, have a house on Smith Lake. “No one knows if it’s the truth,†Warnke says.
We went to see Conan O’Brien last night. Capacity crowd at McCaw Hall. SInce Conan’s wife is from Seattle, I can’t help but believe a little more harrumph was put into the production.
If you are anywhere close to one of his shows, you must attend.
In brief:
So, Tiger Woods’ wife was spotted at Turtle Creek Mall in Hattiesburg? I’m assuming that any positive experience the residents of H’burg provided were immediately erased when she bumped into the kiosk perfume vendors.
David Beckham’s unsuccessful attempt to break into the Hollywood A-list first started to turn pear-shaped when he was refused a glass of wine at a restaurant because he did not look old enough to drink.
Send this to all your enemies.
Notice how her expression and her face are in the exact same position in every shot. Beyond creepy.
Obama cares about you: the people.
Seriously. He feels you pain in the time of economic strain that those dirty Republicans created… he does. That’s why he hopped a private jet to California for a $28,500 a plate dinner.
Power to “the people”… just which people?
(Maybe Obama can give some of that money to the fellow in Pennsylvania with no gas money that he keeps referencing in every speech.)
The text:
- “It’s like a really bad Disney movie. You know? The hockey mom, ‘Oh I’m just a hockey mom from Alaska,’ and she’s the PRESIDENT, and it’s like she’s facing down Vladamir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It’s absurd, it’s totally absurd, and I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about how absurd it is. It’s a terrifying possibility. The fact that we’ve gotten this far and we’re that close to this being a reality is crazy.
I need to know if she really think that dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. I want to know that, I really do. Because she’s gonna have the nuclear codes.“
That sucks. I don’t like Matt Damon as much anymore after that video… and no, not because he doesn’t support Palin or McCain. I don’t like him as much anymore because he just sounds like an idiot. He sounds like that guy/girl that everyone has in their office; the person who is an expert on any topic (i.e. abortion, immigration, …….dinosaurs). He’s the girl in your office who, during the Olympics who would explain the rules to you (and he seemed to watch every.single.event)… he’s the guy who tells you “Nuh uh! That’s not true! They disproved it on MythBusters“… the one believes anything negative about the opponent she doesn’t support, nad consequently forwards emails throughout your office with false stories and links to silly YouTube clips.
- “…I don’t know anything about her.”
Well… Mathew… there’s Wikipedia, there’s CNN, there’s newspapers. If we all didn’t like something or someone that we didn’t know anything about, we wouldn’t like anything because we started our lives knowing nothing.
Also, if you don’t know anything about something can you really dislike it?

You: “Hey Landon, do you like Australia?”
Me: “No. Stupid country. Smells like rotten cheese. Never go there. Everyone is mean.”
You: “Really? That sucks. When did you visit?”
Me: “I haven’t. I really don’t know anything about it or its people… except, from what I hear, they kill baby whales.”
Matt, go make another movie. I’ll see it if I know anything about it.
Saw him in concert last night (12th row seats – nice work Chelsea) at Benaroya Hall. See a show of his before you die. Different… but incredible.
But only for -
For a growing number of people and businesses, Britney’s saga is about money: Every time she sinks to new lows, cash flows.
Question:
-
In light of yesterday’s events… who will be the next celebrity to kick the bucket?
