It has been merely twelve days since Mark Sanford's disastrously-rambling press conference in which he admits to an on-going affair, not to mention le...
Has nothing else happened on the planet? It's like Groundhog Day meets Sergeant Pepper, on a loop. It's everywhere. Michael Jackson is everywhere.
For every Internet epiphenomenon promoted by the blond automatons of cable news there exists an army of pundits offering a cynical, countervailing view.
To ignore the open and questioning tradition and to dwell only on the fundamentalist thread is disingenuous, or in Maher's case more likely simply ignorant.
Letterman's joke about Palin's daughter wasn't the first time a comedian has been accused of telling a joke that could be blamed for the possibility of instigating a criminal act.
Sarah, how creepy is it that NOW is jumping on your bandwagon? Trying to be friends with the alpha popular princess by sweeping abortion, pay parity, stem cell research under the rug!
After a week of using various Joe Scarborough videos on his Daily Show, Jon Stewart decided to take the natural next step. He hired him. "With Bus...

It is important to be educated about the facts. No one wants to take away your choice of doctor or tell your doctor what to do with your treatment. No one suggests a government takeover of health care.
As for Cooper's chatty colleagues and the rise in cable news of liberal and conservative anchors to attract viewers, don't get Cooper started. He believes in the quaint notion we used to call facts.
A Frenchman, a German and a Jew walk into a bar. "I'm tired and thirsty," says the Frenchman."I must have wine." "I'm tired and thirsty," says the G...
As a (former) daily viewer, I understood the network's biases but never cared as it usually gave me good information. Now, all they do is yell at me.
What's the difference between an overly bubbly housing market and sugary carbonated beverages? Both appeal to our infantile desire for instant gratification.
Dennis Perrin: I would like to see more direct action but I knew early on in the Obama administration that it was just not going to happen.
A blogger criticized Jon Stewart for apologizing after he agreed with a guest that Harry Truman was a war criminal. I also feel compelled to disagree with Jon Stewart, but for different reasons.
Johnny Carson making that joke on "The Tonight Show" was the final nail in the electoral coffin. On top of everything else, he was right--George did sound like Liberace.
Nothing sets domestic reactionaries off like a "media elite liberal" like Stewart besmirching our nation's fine name and God-fearing reputation.
Perhaps the economic crisis will serve as a reminder that, for all of our politically significant differences and multiple identities, most of us share the reality of having to work for wages so that we can live.
The qualities present in fish and monkeys, being social and caring about their fellows, have gone missing in some bankers.
One of the most pervasive pieces of advice bandied about in the presentation trade is to start a speech or a presentation with a joke. Wrong! No one c...

CHENEY, WHAT A A*****E !
Finally, the sweets and flowers - Iraqis bringing them out for each other - because the U.S. is leaving.
thankfully, jon stewart et al, continues to hit the nail on the head.
were it not for the BBC news, AND the daily show;
there would literally be NO FREE PRESS or fourth estate in this country!
and no, as long as cheney puts himself out there, the crypt keeper is ripe for the pickings.
he must like it.
BBC news, Christian Science Monitor, The Colbert Report and Jon Stewart. All else is Republican propaganda.
first of all, who cares what liebowitz has to say? And second, Cheney has been proven right so far and I expect this will continue
Dang it, yer right! Think of all those WMDs that we found in Iraq. Oh, wait.....
"The insurgency is in its last throes" - Dick Cheney - 2005
My favorite:
The war will take "weeks not months"
first of all is name is Jon Stewart. (He legally changed his name.) And second, where has cheney been proven right?
The war would be short? That it would pay for itself? We would be greeted as liberators? That the insurgency was wiped out in 2004?
Could you be more specific? Like Bill Cristol, cheney has been wrong about everything. And it doesn't matter when we leave, tomorrow or ten years from now, the Iraqis are going to have a good deal of bloodletting.
nyaaaaaah nyaaaaaaaaaaaaah cheney!! nyaaaaaaah
Yes, Cheney was right on the sweets and flowers. Just not the timing. Now that the U.S. is leaving the celebrations begin.
