Just a thought... Y2QMqsNvWuc Jon Stewart chokes up, gives angry speech to Congress about the shameful treatment of 9/11 first responders. OK, he isn't actually running for office (AFAIK), but damn.

One of the first things I saw on YouTube was Jon Stewart appearing on "Crossfire" way back in 2004. He pretended to play it straight but got big (and sometimes, IMO, uncomfortable) laughs. More recently, John Oliver is almost the opposite of Stewart's laid-back persona. Colbert seems to have...

Jon spoke with a guest who recently wrote about new potential directions for drug research - specifically targeted drugs for specific bacteria. Jon even mentioned use of genome research re:targeting and author went with it. Fortunately, Derek has some comments on why this is not quite the...

Thought it was worth posting here to let you guys watch and post comments on. I like how Barton addresses the cherry picking of Jefferson's letters to portray him as an atheist knowing full well Jefferson never was. I also like their comments on what secular means, or at least, what it means to...

Jon Stewart challenges Grover Norquist on ‘absolutist’ anti-tax pledge (video) IMO: the Norquist pledge is one of the most asinine things ever dreamed up in American politics. Now, don't get me wrong. Sure there are a whole host of remarkably stupid things perpetrated by our beloved leaders and...

After Obama's second term, of course.

Amazing discussion and some pretty amazing statements from both parties here. What are your thoughts? link to TDS website

"Did the bill pledging federal funds for the health care of 9/11 responders become law in the waning hours of the 111th Congress only because a comedian took it up as a personal cause?" http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/27/business/media/27stewart.html?pagewanted=1 '“Success always has a thousand...

Post Election, Stewart Praises Guest FOX's Chris Wallace & Disavows S/C Rally Signs WOW! Stewart is a real fan of Wallace. STEWART: Can I come on your show? WALLACE: Do you know how many times I have asked you to come on? STEWART: I really like you. And I say that...here's the thing about...

This one, is a good one. "There are no moderates, on the other side." - Bill Maher If you have watched the Nov. 5th episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," and you have a modicum of intelligence, your reply post will be taken seriously. Otherwise, you are wasting your time and more...

He was on. He said stuff. Jon Stewart didn't softball him - he got some zingers in - but Obama talked a lot. Stewart at one point said "It's so hard not to talk." Anyway, here it is. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20101028/el_yblog_upshot/obama-makes-historic-appearance-on-daily-show

In an exchange on a radio show yesterday, Sanchez was bitching about Jon Stewart, who happens to pick on him a lot on his show, and calls Stewart a "bigot," because he's supposedly bigoted against anyone who, "doesn't agree with his point of view..." The host, Peter Dominick, pointed out that...

This is the official sign thread in conjunction with this thread. So show us what you got!:jaw-dropp (and remember the point is to be civil but that does not preclude being clever.) Also, don't forget that there are 2 simultaneous rallies. On the reverse side of my positive message sign will be...

For those of us who think neither Barack Obama nor George W. Bush is Hitler... ... comes the "Restoring Sanity" Rally. It will be led by Jon Stewart. http://www.rallytorestoresanity.com/ Colbert will also be holding a 'mock' rally: http://www.keepfearalive.com/ Both will be held on October...

http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/event.php?eid=118856078167623&ref=nf I know if you don't have facebook you can't see this event. Here is an article on it. I'll be there. Will you? http://www.inquisitr.com/85083/rally-to-restore-sanity-march-to-keep-fear-alive/

The Daily Show is hosting the Rally to Restore Sanity on Oct 30th in DC. Among other recommended signs to display they have suggested "9/11 Was an Outside Job".

I'm surprised this hasn't really popped up anywhere on here ;) There is a "grass roots" group of people on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and through private websites rolling with a quasi satire "Colbert Rally" idea that is making waves. So much so that they have raised over 180,000 dollars in...

O'Reilly interviews Stewart http://www.billoreilly.com/video?chartID=554&vid=194554720156101071#play Stewart on C-Span (YouTube, search for it) The more I hear him speak, the more I understand why he's trusted, why he's "mistaken" for a newscaster, and why people take The Daily Show seriously...

I thought this was interesting. I generally don't like Olberman. I think he's too much of a windbag. It seems Stewart thought so as well, and mocked him. But I didn't expect this: Olberman apologized. Wow...

According to Robert ParKs, who is so trustworthy that I didn't even google it, "JON STEWART DONS THE MANTLE OF CRONKITE. Even as the revered anchor of CBS News was laid to rest, Time released the state-by-state results of a poll of 10,000 Americans across the nation, asking: who is now the...

This is a really good interview with Jon Stewart demanding that Jim Cramer take responsibility for bad advice. He even seems to accuse him of being in bed with corporations: http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/index.jhtml?episodeId=220533 Cramer was talking all kinds of crap about...

As the post-election Rovian-style attacks continue to rage, maybe some relief can be found by way of the "opposition" coming together and "attacking" each other with a little civilized humor (Of course BillO's real motive is selling his new book). Jon Stewart interviews BillO on Daily Show...

On Thursday, Jon Stewart made a pretty funny but also quite interesting point that I asked myself a lot as well: Who are those "experts" in US-Political News talking about the elections - and what the heck does make them "the best political teams in television" anyway...

http://digg.com/world_news/Ahmadinejads_Bumbling_9_11_Comments_Please_Neo_Cons?t=14542380#c14545831 It's obvious he's putting words into John Stewart's mouth, and as someone who may not agree with John Stewart's politics 100% (I'd put it around 40%) I have a hard time believing that his...

When I watch "The Daily Show" on Youtube, I have a hard time to understand what Jon Stewart actually meant whenever some nut jobs put a *beep* -sound in there every view seconds. Since this bothers me a lot, I looked what this free speech myth is that everyone is talking about - and I found out...

When satirists communicate facts better than the "real" "journalists," we have a problem. Fox may have a copyright on "Fair and Balanced" but I think they need to switch to "Completely Uninformative." Still, it's bad news all around. It seems that Americans are becoming increasingly unaware of...

Mariah made a comment in the Anderson Cooper thread about Randi wanting to go on The Daily Show. This is an excellent idea: Jon Stewart is the closest thing to Jonny Carson on the air, his audience probably contains a lot of young secularists or generally open minded people, and Randi might...

http://www.comedycentral.com/sitewide/media_player/play.jhtml?itemId=75410 This was on last night's episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. It is about the use of the question mark in news headlines. He ends the segment with the conclusion that you can say anything you want, as long as it...

I got into listening to Glenn Beck during the sixth months that I was laid off. He used to crack me up. Funny guy. Unfortunately, his show airs from 8am to 11am, so when I went back to work, no more Glenn Beck. :( A few months ago, Glenn Beck got his own TV program on one of the news...
