Page 8 THE CALHOUN-LIBERTY JOURNAL November 7, 2012 commentary Late Night Laughs A recap of recent observations by late night tV hosts. They did not have Halloween in New Jersey last Wednes- day night. Governor Chris Christie postponed it by executive order until Monday. However, he did spend the day scaring Republicans by praising President Obama. — JAY LENO

The East Coast is still dealing with the aftermath of Hurri- cane Sandy. Because of congestion, Mayor Bloomberg is only allowing cars with at least three passengers to drive into Manhattan. You can’t cross the bridge with a bunch of empty seats — which was really confusing for Clint Eastwood. — JIMMY FALLON

Economists say rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy will give the ailing construction industry a huge boost. In fact, the storm has already created more jobs than President Obama. — JAY LENO

The International Olympic Committee is investigating Lance Armstrong for the bronze medal he won at the 2000 Olym- pics. A little tip for the IOC: If Lance was on steroids and he came in third, you might want to take a peek at the guys with gold and silver. — Conan O’Brien

Michael Brown, the former director of FEMA who was forced to resign after Hurricane Katrina, has criticized the presi- dent. He said Obama may have acted too quickly this time — instead of taking the wait-and-do-nothing approach that worked so well during Katrina. — JIMMY KIMMEL

The latest James Bond movie, “Skyfall,” is really good but there’s a bit of a controversy now because of product place- ment. Like instead of his signature martini, Bond now drinks Heineken. That’s not the only example — 007 is now 007- 11. — JAY LENO

Mayor Bloomberg has canceled this year’s New York City Marathon. It’s just as well as it was going to be extra tough on the runners since Bloomberg was going to require them to carry three other runners just to get into the city. — JIMMY FALLON

Halloween night I answered the door and there was a kid ly- ing on the porch. He was playing dead. I said: “What are you supposed to be?” He said: “the economy.” — JAY LENO
