#incapableoflivinginthemoment

May 8, 2013

Caught a brief excerpt from Conan O’Brien’s speech/routine at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.  He said something to the effect of: for those of you live-tweeting this event, don’t forget to use the hashtag “#incapableoflivinginthemoment.” Like so much of comedy, it’s only funny because it’s true.
