Now this is a bit silly --

The Conan O'Brien show -- to be taped shortly in Toronto - won't let journalists from the National Post in because it doesn't like the Post's coverage of the event. The Post, earlier had played up the fact, in a front page story, that the show was coming to Toronto and taxpayers were picking up the tab. Whether or not you agree with tax dollars being paid to have New York-based TV shows tape their segments -- including, on Conan's show, "The Masturbating Bear" -- it seems awfully thin-skinned of Conan's people. And these people work in New York? I thought those New York papers were supposed to be tough. Ladies and gentleman, please welcome, Conan the Idiot Talk Show Host . . .
