Perspective watch.

As of right now, there are 411,249 fans of "I'm with Coco", the Facebook fan-page set up to support the plight of the poor, ravaged Conan O Brien as he battles the odious NBC.

In contrast, I looked at advocacy pages relating to healthcare reform. There a dozens and dozens of them, too many to mention. But they all have one thing in common - meager fan bases. Here is just a sampling:

  • Healthcare Refom - 441 fans
  • Reform Healthcare Now - 11 fans
  • All I want for Christmas is Healthare Reform - 851 fans
  • Universal Healthcare - 2,891 fans
  • Public Option Please - 10,478 fans
Two points to draw from this. First, healthcare reform could have done with a SINGULAR, catchy name. And secondly, maybe if NBC threatened to take away Conan's healthcare, all his fans would now be fans of healthcare reform too. How about, "Coco wants his healthcare".
