Every so often, I get the feeling that some cosmic force is watching Leno, Letterman, Conan, Craig Ferguson, The Daily Show, Bill Maher and everyone else who does topical humor and saying, "Hmm…I'd better give them a great news item to write jokes about." The whole Michael Jackson trial is, of course, a direct result of this cosmic force, as was the Monica Lewinsky scandal of yore. This one won't last as long but it's going to be good for a couple of monologues.
