(AP) – The White House Correspondents' Association has chosen Conan O'Brien as the featured act for its annual dinner on April 27. Jimmy Kimmel hosted last year's dinner and got decent reviews for treading the tricky line of getting yuks without going too far. This is the event in which the president himself gets to play stand-up comedian, and at least one columnist wishes it would just go away.

When a comedian will be hosting the Academy Awards or Grammy's etc. for the first time, If you like them, then you probably expect them to do a good job. The Correspondents' diner is usually funny regardless of the host. President Obama getting a chance to respond to the likes of Donald Trump last year....priceless.

At least it is not Jimmy Kimmel.  I stopped watching him since he such a liberal puppet.  He is not funny either.  Put Nightline back on at 10:35.  Liberal media, but still better than Jimmy.

The way I see it people need to take life into their own hands now days, you can do that by learning how to trade the markets. I've been learning to the website Traders Superstore they have excellent videos and I just got their deal they are running and I'm very happy with their course material. The instructor is a very knowledgeable trader. I've been doing really well so far and my goal is within one month to quit my job and I believe I can do it.
