-- Steve Carell has stated that the next season of The Office -- Season 7 -- is going to be his last. And if it really is the end of the road for Michael Scott, my vote would be to end the show all together. The Office has had a great run, but let's be honest -- ever since the end of Season 3 and into Season 4, The Office has kind of lost some of its magic. And without Michael Scott? Come on. What's the point? Plus, let's not forget the worst part of no more Michael Scott: the end of that's what she said jokes.-- This story about young people who work for the Obama Administration felt like some kind of screenplay that combined elements of The West Wing, Friends, and The Real World. Actually, it's kind of like a Washington version of The Hills. You have young, attractive people who lead privileged lives, except it's set in D.C. and it's politics, not fashion. Oh, and the people on the D.C. version actually earned their careers. I also like how The New York Times included an interactive map where the young Obama team members hang out so you can go and try and be hip with them.
--And here's San Francisco, right on cue. Now, I know what you're thinking: instead of worrying about what Arizona's doing, shouldn't San Francisco's higher ups be focused on trying to improve San Francisco? And you would be right... until you remembered that this is San Francisco, and this is exactly the kind of thing that San Francisco does. Then it all makes sense.
--Speaking of San Francisco, this video from 60 Minutes about the construction of the new Bay Bridge left me feeling pretty uneasy about living in the Bay Area. Like, REALLY uneasy. California love?
--Let's end on a more upbeat note, shall we? Get ready for Conan's first interview since leaving NBC. Suck on it, Leno.
--Okay, one more. Go Ags.
