   19 November 2008 - #2678 - Martin Short, Sarah Vowell, Margon and the Nuclear   
   So and So's.   
   	Conologue.  The leaders of the Big Three Auto Makers appeared at   
   Capitol Hill asking for a handout; asked what they would do with the   
   money, they said, ``Buy a BMW''.  John McCain's 2010 Senate campign: Now   
   100% Sarah Palin-free.  National Medal of the Arts was presented to the   
   songwriters who composed 'It's A Small World After All', and then they   
   were beaten to death.  (Hey, they also wrote the Mary Poppins and the   
   Chitty Chitty Bang Bang songs.)   
      
   	Advertisement: what the collapse of the auto industry would do   
   to Detroit.   
      
   	Green Your Routine: Conan uses 45 rolls of toilet paper per   
   week.  Taking Terry to the landfill.   
      
   	LaBamba iChat.  (TromboneCowboy?)  He has an X-Men pillow.   
   Pajamas are a bit unbuttoned.  He plays with the Max Weinberg 7 over the   
   web.   
      
   Martin Short:   
   	Jackie Rogers Jr walkout music.  Something about makeup, how   
   vital Short looks.  Short was obsessed with the election.  Robin   
   Williams bit.  George W Bush's eyes.  Odd moments as George W Bush   
   mispronounces Martin Scorsese's name at a dinner.   
      
   	Hamilton, Ontario, Gallery of Distinction.  Bad rendering of   
   him: Andrew Lloyd Weber-and-David Brenner?  Werewolf mid-transformation?   
    'Maybe I captured Mr Short's true personality when he mentioned the   
   werewolf, eh?'  Real silent-movie actor, Larry Siemen: uncanny   
   resemblance to Short.  Short once created a rash covering his body by   
   applying Dettol to his genitals.   
      
   Sarah Vowell:   
   	Some show taped Conan reading Vowell's _The Wordy Shipmates_.   
   Conan likes the weaving of historical facts with pop culture: the   
   Puritan Thanksgiving episode of _Happy Days_.  Two Puritan _Bewitched_   
   episodes.  CBS sitcom set during the first grim winter about ten years   
   ago.  The Puritans were very big on marital sex.  Weird Puritan smutty   
   writing about Jesus, John Winthrop writing about wanting to curl up and   
   sleep in Jesus's skirt.  Roger Williams: kicked out of Plymouth for not   
   shutting up about religion.   
      
   Margo and the Nuclear So and So's.   
   	Animal: (No idea what the title was.)
