And the lovely and talented David Cornelius has revealed the template for all late-night talk show monologues.

Another excerpt from Katie Couric’s interview with Sarah Palin, with Joe Biden thrown in for good measure.

And a final note about Film.com: I appreciate you posting comments on my articles over there. Comments are prized by the corporate overlords. But I’ve recently learned that they love something else, too: the “Recommend” count. At the top of each article you can click the word “Recommend” to indicate that you, um, recommend it to people. That’s it. You don’t have to do anything else. You don’t even actually have to like it. Just click “Recommend” and boost my numbers, wouldja? Thanks.
