Holy Crap

Dude. Jon Stewart is seriously the best anchorman ever. Why does a comedy show have to do these kinds of interviews. Shouldn't this kind of thing be exactly what journalists are supposed to be doing? Here's the links to where he took CNBC's Jim Cramer completely apart. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Lynne Cheney, Dick Cheney's wife, was on the Daily Show.

It was rather bizarre and kind of uncomfortable, and that was just for me watching at home.

I guess it was a good reminder that everybody's human, but that doesn't prevent them from being completely wrong on just about everything.

Still. It was weird. I'm not sure what to make of it.

So... Fox News is apparently trying to do a Daily Show copy.

It's... rather sad. Not in the completely brain-melting stupid sense of most of Fox News, but like watching a lame SNL sketch sad. They're no Jon Stewart. The thing about the Daily Show and the Colbert Report is how often they just play it straight, and deliver the actual news, and let it sink in how ridiculous it is.. And then their reactions.

Kermit the Frog on the Daily show. He totally runs rings around Jon Stewart. It's weird and awesome!

See what I mean about France? "France is our enemy!" Um. WTF? Seriously, dude. Get a grip.

"Remember, if it weren't for the French helping us out during the Revolutionary War, we'd all be speaking English right now." - "Adj", over on the comments thread

Heck, just go to http://www.onegoodmove.org/1gm. That's where I've been getting them from. And here's today's bits.

Day of Shunning, and Go F**k Yourself, Mr. Cheney

Brian Williams, NBC's anchorman.

The Daily Show is Back

"Shut up. Just shut up. This was a failure of leadership."

Okay, seriously. What. The. Fuck. Pat Robertson said we should assassinate Hugo Chavez, the elected president of Venezuela.

I am far less shocked by that than I should be. Must be from reading too much about the 80s, when we were knocking over elected South American governments like they were dominoes.

But, seriously. Folks. We are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. You know that big list of Things Not To Do? The one with Torture on it? Yeah, assassinating elected officials in other countries is on it too. Seriously, the Republican leadership no longer has any connection to what America actually means. (And let's not even bother with the "thou shalt not kill" thing, that's long since gone.)

And as always, Jon Stewart has the goods.

See, it's books like this damn "Natural cures that THEY don't want you to know" ("THEY"? Who the fuck is "THEY?") that make me want to re-shelve half of "non-fiction" under fiction. Well, these and the hack hatchet job political bullshit things like the "fair tax plan" book. But luckily for us, Jon Stewart is on the case, as seen here.
