Okay so I watched this really interesting 9/11 conspiracy documentary today, which frankly bummed me out way too early in the morning. It contained lots of news footage, most of it from Fox News (which I never watch) but some from CNN (which I used to watch, but do not anymore.) Long story short ... I realized that in the time since 2001, I now get all of my news from NPR, BBC and the Daily Show. Personally, I think that makes me a fairly healthy individual. I don't want to jump off the roof quite so much any more. So, thanks, Jon.

plus i read a few good mags, like utne and the nation. but the daily show actually gives me hope for the future. i mean, if we can still laugh, there's still hope!

"If Bill O'Reilly needs to have an enemy, needs to feel persecuted, you know what? Here's my Kwanzaa gift to him. Are you ready? All right. I'm your enemy. Make me your enemy. I, Jon Stewart, hate Christmas, Christians, Jews, morality, and I will not rest until every year families gather to spend December 25th together at Osama's homo-abortion-pot-and-commie-jizzporium."
"Perhaps the biggest surprise of the election was it was the lowest election voter turnout ever -- a dismal... 63.2%. That's the lowest turnout they've ever had. You know what, we shouldn't be bringing democracy to the Middle East -- they should be bringing it to us."

On Wednesday, The Daily Show will air a half-hour special, "Race: The Afrospanicindioasianization of America." Correspondents Rob Corddry, John Hodgman and Demetri Martin will join host Jon Stewart in examining -- and completely solving -- such contemporary racial problems like bigotry and illegal immigration. It's one episode you'll want to watch in a melting pot.

"At issue is the video game industry's rating system. Many feel that the M for Mature is too vague... not to mention that it's completely inaccurate in describing anyone who plays video games. They propose a 3-tiered system that would start with D for Dropout, then W for Wastoid and max out at CMB-Child in a Man's Body."

Rob Cordry, reporting from North Korea: Did you know that Kim's working on a neutron explosive that burns you from the inside out, leaving you a charred husk of flesh?
Jon: That's horrible.
Rob: It's called Long Phat Dik. Worst of all, Jon, when it blows up, it spreads a deadly chemical, Cream of Sum Yung Boy-
Jon: I'm sorry, Rob, but that's clearly not a real weapon-
Rob: I'm sorry, Jon, but are you here? Have you seen the factories where they erect the Long Phat Dik? NO, you haven't.

the 'he aint heavy, he's big brother' segment by samantha bee is hillarious
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
I think the band's due for an appearance on The Daily Show. An interview followed by a performance would be great. I know they don't usually have musical guests on the Daily Show, but the White Stripes did it, so why not Pearl Jam?
The best Daily Show segement ever was the alcohol abuse edition of Even Stevphens, where Stephen Colbert got Steve Carell drunk.
Classic.
Once upon a time, there was a lovely little sausage called Baldrick, and it lived happily ever after. The End.

You lucky duck.
The story on the Congressional staffer softball league was hilarious and sad.

Samantha Bee's segment was also hilarious last night.
