Topical and edgy. Comedy Central does better reporting than your local news. You know, that show that they advertise at every sitcom commercial break with those permasmile newsreaders shuffling papers engaged in faux conversation that has much less to do with current events, and more likely regarding moisturizers, since that's what news people do. (By, "that show", I meant the "local news", but you knew that, right?.)

Jon Stewart may actually have exceeded Eric Cartman as the biggest celebrity at Comedy Central. Who would have thought The Daily Show would end up doing the most journalism on television.

Blah blah blah. Funny stuff at the Emmys. A Kilborn says what? What's a Kilborn anyway, does that have something to do with post-delivery abortions?

I wonder if he had to get a hall pass. Crooks and Liars is my favorite-est blog ever for right now. And that's a long time in ADD-riddled America, and I'm not talking about the kids.

This clip of Dick Cheney is a lot of fun. Please don't tell me he doesn't deserve it. Perhaps Patrick Leahy was the man off-camera. And a nice job by the CNN reporter asking, "Are you getting a lot of that Mr. Vice President?"

I wish Leonard Seltzer and friends much luck in their new environs.
