This is how I like John McCain — kind of a jerk and completely blunt. Last night on The Tonight Show, Jay Leno asked McCain who he thought the leaders of the Republican party were, and he named Florida governor Charlie Crist, Louisiana governor (and 30 Rock's Kenneth the Page sound-alike) Bobby Jindal, and Mitt Romney (twice). And then to prove he didn't accidentally forget some lady governor who messed up his election, he said "and I've left out somebody's name and I'm going to hear about it."

This Thursday President Obama will appear on Jay Leno's Tonight Show. Taking his reputation as a night owl to a whole new level, Obama will be the first sitting president to appear on a late-night talk show.

Just when we thought it was going to get all grim and serious for the last 18 days of the election, the funnies come marching in!

Why do some people seem unfazed that a photobooth is talking to them? And telling them to tuck in their boobs, to move to the other side, and to give it a hug? Well, some people have the proper WTF?!

It's amazing to me that people are still falling for this! I guess these folks don't watch television, or The Tonight Show, anyway!

Most of the time, Jay Leno's jokes fall under the category of "dad humor." (Maybe that's your thing?) But his headlines segments get me every time. I love found humor, and sometimes these newspaper ads make you wonder if people are high when they write this stuff!
