Greatest addition to The Daily Show evar.

I was thinking about this all day:

Jon Stewart: The way you’ve explained the tax codes it really doesn’t seem very fair.

John Hodgman: Well, fairness isn’t the point- they don’t call economics The Dismal Science because it’s fair.

Jon: Well, I suppose not…

John: No, no, they call it that after Sir Eustace Dismal - the 18th century English economist who proposed making smokestacks out of children. It was a very interesting proposal but ultimately flawed. I mean, if you make the smokestacks out of children who will you force to clean them?

It’s referred to as Dismal’s Paradox.

Comedy Central’s got the video.

Am I the only one that hears these noises every time Bush gives a speech?

Rumsfeld forced to deny his own words-

From Olbermann last night:

Okay- so… maybe it’s because it’s St. Patrick’s day and I’m stinkin’ drunk just a couple hours into it… but here’s something I thought was worth posting from last night’s Daily Show with the Jon Stewart-

Defending Your Strife:

Includes a report from Daily Show Senior Military Anniversary Correspondent Ed Helms.

Note: The Daily Show has been incredible the last couple of months. The only reason I haven’t been posting video is because of my own time constraints. Those constraints have eased ever so slightly in recent days. In addition, getting drunk makes me think that I gots all the time in the world, bitch! I’m off to drunk-play Battlefield 2!!! Woohoo! Happy St. Patty’s Day boys! I’m waaaaaasted!!!

So there’s that.

Here’s some of The Daily Show’s continuing coverage of the fake war on Christmas:

sad.

Here’s The Daily Show’s coverage of Chalabi’s visit:

Here’s Keith Olbermann’s coverage of O’Reilly’s recent fatwa issued against San Francisco-

link

My take on O’Reilly’s threat against San Francisco is that it started as another stupid comment among hundreds crapped out of this buffoon’s mouth every day… he got in trouble for it so now he’s attempting a weak swipe at Al Franken by claiming that his comments were satire.

It took him an entire weekend to come up with that argument.

Hilarious.

The Daily Show takes on Bush’s despicable performance on Veteran’s Day- includes a special report from Senior Defense Policy Analyst Rob Corddry.

Hell of a Family Guy last night- here are some clips-

First the opening- nobody does this type of slow-burn humor anymore- Osama screwing up a terror tape, plus a dead-on Police Squad opening:

link

Next, George W. Bush shows up for Vietnam:

link

And finally, the FCC song:

link

The Daily Show’s coverage of Senator Harry Reid’s heroic stand-

link

The Daily Show covers our easily distracted media:

link

Great segment covering Lawrence Wilkerson’s recent decision to finally tell the awful truth (which we all knew) about the Bush administration. It’s a new segment they’re calling- “The Less You Knew”

link

Can’t help but notice how silent the Malkins and Insta-whatsit types are about Wilkerson… cowards.

I put together this short video- I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch much FOX & Friends lately, but I tuned in for a few minutes this morning and this is the result:

These people are scum. Every death is worth noticing, you despicable bastards.

From Monday’s Al Franken Show on Sundance- Al just destroys Kay Bailey Hutchison over her disgusting, cowardly comments on Meet The Press this weekend-

Here’s the opening segment of last night’s premiere episode of The Colbert Report-

link

Here’s The Daily Show’s coverage of Bush’s “unscripted” chat with the troops and Scott McClellan’s press briefing meltdown which followed. Includes brilliant commentary by Daily Show Senior Political Analyst Rob Corddry.

link

Here’s CNN’s “Situation Room” coverage of Bush’s scripted “chat” with our troops where they “pulled back the curtain” and showed the troops being drilled by a Pentagon hack… it’s painful to see our troops being used for propaganda purposes like this.

There’s also a clip in the report of Scott McClellan shifting the blame onto the troops. What a fucking prick.

Way to go, liberal media…

Working through my backlog of these bad boys:

link

So I finally got off my lazy ass and done posted a clip from last Thursday’s Daily Show-

When Bush’s numbers are sliding he knows to call 9/11.

link

Bush bullshits us about what his Generals are telling him days after the the Generals told Congress the exact opposite.

Surprised? Yeah, me neither.
