Also this non anonymous whistleblower report today....

A senior Department of Homeland Security official alleges that he was told to stop providing intelligence analysis on the threat of Russian interference in the 2020 election, in part because it “made the President look bad,” an instruction he believed would jeopardize national security.

The official, Brian Murphy, who until recently was in charge of intelligence and analysis at DHS, said in a whistleblower complaint that on two occasions he was told to stand down on reporting about the Russian threat.

On July 8, Murphy said, acting Homeland Security secretary Chad Wolf told him that an “intelligence notification” regarding Russian disinformation efforts should be “held” because it was unflattering to Trump, who has long derided Russian interference as a “hoax” that was concocted by his opponents to delegitimize his victory in 2016.

It’s not clear who would have seen the notification, but DHS’s intelligence reports are routinely shared with the FBI, other federal law enforcement agencies and state and local governments.

Murphy objected to Wolf’s instruction, “stating that it was improper to hold a vetted intelligence product for reasons [of] political embarrassment,” according to a copy of his whistleblower complaint that was obtained by The Washington Post.

Murphy also alleges that two months earlier, Wolf told him to stop producing intelligence assessments on Russia and shift the focus on election interference to China and Iran. He said Wolf told him “that these instructions specifically originated from White House National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien.”

While I'm not personally a fan of Conan O'Brien, idk why people seem to give him the shaft.

I heard he got shit on when he came back to help with the script of the simpsons movie, any truth to that?7

The black and white bed scene was beautiful...I rewound it.

Can we just vote for Colbert to be president? That's what I'm going to do. I've decided that if my vote is truly a personal decision and a reflection of who I feel is the leader AMERICA needs, I'm voting Stephen Colbert. Or Conan O'Brien. I'm still undecided on my vote actually. If Jon Stewart ran, that may change everything.

Screw pre-interviews, seriously.

Didn't really notice or care that much until I started watching lots of Conan O'Brien stuff maybe 3 or so years ago.

Now it really bothers me.

Does EVERYTHING?! have to be scripted.
Do I always have to be sold something?

Oh wait, this is American media.. of course, what was I thinking..

If you don't want people (male or female) looking at your boobs, why wear a tight dress that barely contains your breasts and has a plunging neckline? Men are both biologically engineered and culturally trained to look, especially if you're going to do the fashion equivalent of putting a fucking spotlight on them.

And no, I don't believe women need to "cover up" or wear burkas or some such strawman that'll I'll likely get as a reply to this comment. Women can go around naked for all I care, but they shouldn't expect heterosexual men to pretend like they're fully clothed.

EDIT: OMG, Andy's response is perfect! He gets a big bouquet of flowers and puts it on Conan's desk right in between Conan and Nicole and says "Hey Nicole! Ignore the flowers!" LMAO.

@ant Here's the full interview if you're interested in including Andy's comeback:

What other Apple 2 games did you played? Here's what I played that I could re(member/call): Wings of Fury, Diamond Mine, Kareteka, Montezuma's Revenge, Aztec, Gemstone Warrior, Conan O'Brien (think I submitted it here), Ancient Art of War (a pastor gave me that game haha), Boulder Dash, Champion Ship Lode Runner (finished and got a paper certificate), etc.

Alexa O'Brien & Sarah Harrison had the main stage today to discuss WikiLeaks/Snowden/NSA/Manning/journalism and I thought you might be interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgAdXibXgMk

A professional recording will be released later today, maybe tomorrow, but I'll probably have forgotten all about it by then.

Jake Applebaum and Jilian York were scheduled for a talk right after them, but I wasn't able to attend, so I can't say if it was as interesting as I hope it was. It'll be on YT by tomorrow...

Edit: proper video now available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DMlhh-U-cU

He's more talented a comedian that every tonight show host there's ever been (especially Leno and besides Carson and Steve Allen imltho, but Carson and Allen were another breed of comedian now innit?) He's closer in style to Steve Allen that any of them.
-Yes my opinions are less than humble, imagine that??

DAMN! There's only been 6 tonight show hosts...thought there were more...

"The Tonight Show was hosted by Steve Allen (1954–57), Jack Paar (1957–62), Johnny Carson (1962–92), Jay Leno (1992–2009, 2010–14), Conan O'Brien (2009–10), and Jimmy Fallon (2014–present). Several guest hosts also appeared, particularly during the Paar and Carson eras."

Conans' one funny featherduster though, but you just can't have a red-headed male as host of the Tonight Show...it's in some charter somewhere, he never had a chance, he was most-likely always meant to be a filler...

"There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always — do not forget this, Winston — always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever."
