Conan is running a contest to find the worst car in the country and blow it up. My little brothers submitted this video in hopes of winning. I'm proud of how it turned out. I agree with Liz, this is the least Conan could do for us.

Disappointment
I guess I should explain the previous post regarding the show in L.A. Here is how it went:
With the entire Helm family going to Newport Beach for a week in July, I jumped right on the the chance to get tickets to Conan's new show on the west coast. The ticket process is a lottery via email. Out of the 8 emails we sent, we received two sets (4 tickets each) of tickets. One set for Tuesday night and one set for Friday night. I planned to attend the Tuesday night showing. With the revelation that Heidi Klum would be a guest that night, I offered my ticket to a long time admirer of hers, Jon. (Click for an account of his experience) while I anticipated the show on Friday.
On Friday afternoon, I left this...
(Riding waves)
and This...
(beach body husband)
and this...
(Exploring marine life)
To brave the L.A. traffic to reach Universal Studios. We reach the Universal property with about 7 min to spare, but after being led to a dead end and then taking some back roads to Gate 3, we arrived at about 3:35 - 3:37. The cut off time was 3:30. They did not care that we had tickets, or that I write a blog dedicated 1/3 to Conan. I was so disappointed, I couldn't bring myself to watch the show for 3 days.
The trip wasn't a complete lost, I did go to Mann's Chinese Theater for the first time. Here was a highlight...

Dear Conan,
I stood outside the studio in NYC thinking of you and the first time we met. We had such a great time. laughing and touching, your hand on mine.
I know you didn't mean to not allow me into the taping of your new gig out in L.A. I know it's part of making it to the "Big Show" and I celebrate your success. I just can't help but think of how things could have been different if you were still in NY, and the moments we could have shared this weekend.

The Statist
The Obama Administration has given me way too many reasons to post on this blog, I simply can't keep up. I will try to keep you updated on the most important issues or at least the ones that make me angriest. Here's a doozy...
This is how a Statist like Obama handles opposition and free speech.
As written on the official The White House blog:
"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."
Wow.
