I for one often think as I write stuff [...]
Fox News reported yesterday that, “Comedy Central’s fake news stars have no intention of making a run for the White House.” Oh really? Did Fox ever really think they would make a run? It’s news that they’re not running?
Jon Stewart said this about the shirt:

John Hodgman, the PC in the new Mac commercials, was interviewed this week by Engadget. He’s a really funny guy and somehow, even though he’s not the product being advertised, has become the star of those ads.

Instead I look at the illustrated safety card [...]
Leave it to Jon Stewart to breathe some life into the stale gay marriage debate brought up by the GOP again this year. If you missed the opening segment from Tuesday’s show, watch it!
I especially like this part about the dangerously high levels of cognitive dissonance that Bush supporters must live with every day.

From the article:

Have you ever wondered why the heads of truly stalwart Republicans don’t explode when their man in the oval office says and does things that contradict the basic principles they say they believe in? Like when the President says it’s okay for the government to tap the phones of American citizens without obtaining a warrant? [...]
