I was able to catch a quick glimpse of Conan O&#8217;Brien&#8217;s first apperance as host of The Tonight Show and I must say that I&#8217;m utterly disappointed. I&#8217;ve never been a fan of Conan but last night&#8217;s show takes the cake. Instead of a flowing monologue he did a stupid skit by skit comedy routine. [...]]]></description>

General Motors has finally filed for bankruptcy yesterday. They&#8217;re looking at getting out of it in 60-90 days, which is unrealistic in my book seeing as how GM is a much more complicated case compared to Chrysler. So the years of shoddy workmanship and their refusal to listen to the needs of the market has finally [...]]]></description>
