And now here it is, your moment of zen...

I don't watch it nearly enough. But every time I do, I must say, I laugh my ass off. Jon Stewart and all his cohorts are funny, funny people. My favorite segment has to be Back in Black though. Lewis Black kicks my ass.

lew black is the MAN. rents you have my permission to start the lew black appreciation thread. cause i'm too tired.

haha, schweet.

I used to not like it, because I normally don't like political humor. But after my professor for my gender class brought in a clip almost every day to use in class, I love it.

Ok, how do i put the big pic of lewis black on the his thread?

I thought Jon Stewart would never fill Kilborn's shoes, but he's actually
a hell of a lot funnier.

the tag for images is "[IMG]"(insert url of pic here)"[/IMG]"

like html only with [] instead of <>

or just go back, hit edit on your post over there and then hit the little IMG button to get a prompt for the url of the pic.

ah TDS rules, ironically it is probably the most accurate news/media source out there.

yep. there are some things (like the guy who got arrested for wearing a "give peace a chance" t shirt) that don't get any play in the nat'l media.

although i wonder what right-wingers think of the show, since it has a definite liberal lean.

there was an article in some paper today about a kid who got in trouble for wearing a "who would jesus bomb?" tshirt to school

Ahhhhhh!!! Yes, TDS does make everything better!!! I saw Lewis Black in consert (or whatever you want to call it)!! He was soooooo good!!! I tried to give him my left-over pizza but some stage hand guy just took it back stage. I should have wrote, "NOT POISON" on the box. *sigh* Oh, and all you ppl that are not in USA can see it too!! On CNN international. Check it out.

Do it!! *shakes fist*

i heard abotu a different kid (?) got kicked out of school b/c of a t shirt w/ a pic of bush on it that said "INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST."

and i thought, goddamn i want that t-shirt.

all these news stories are not so much about the first amendment to me as they are about clothes shopping.

yeah... unless youre talented enough to just make one...

or that too.

i'm such a miserable human being. lol. i love the daily show, but i'm sort of torn when i think about it.. a joke's a joke, but sometimes i think they try too hard to bash the pres. sometimes i think presidents have deserved being laughed at... lately it seems like the pres can say, "the..." and they'll be like, "president bush also added, ' ...water tastes like poop. and I like poop', and everyone laughs.
wait... that would be funny.
sorry, i might be right winged. the daily show rocks, i just gotta watch it when i'm not on the rag.

LOL on the rag. LOL

personally i dont think you have to try to hard to bash our president.

jon stewart is the perfect combination of witty and gorgeous. mmm. i'm gonna put up a pic of him on the hotties forum.

Best Daily Show Segment EVER.

JON STEWART: But the exciting financial opportunities of this human catastrophe don’t have to wait for the war to actually end. The government has already begun handing out contracts to corporations to clean up and rebuild the country we haven’t finished bombing yet. Yesterday for instance, the Army awarded a multi million dollar contract to pay for extinguishing oil fires and repairing oil infrastructure. Who got it? Well let’s see, let’s hear the drum roll please…and the winner of the first oil services contract in Iraq goes to…Halliburton!!! Wait a minute…Halliburton, that name rings a bell…oh, I know, till 2000 its CEO was Dick Cheney, yes…Cheney, that name rings a bell, oh, I know, he’s the Vice President. Hmmmm. Well, on the bright side, I won my office pool. But on the other hand, hearing that does feel like the government has just taken a big shit on my chest. Of course, Halliburton has refused to divulge the monetary value of that contract, though according to a spokesman, “We’re uh…we’re gonna do allright on this one.” For more on this we turn now to our senior Senior Correspondent, Mr. Stephen Colbert. Stephen joins us from the White House.

Today, Stephen, the Bush Administration awarded Halliburton a contract for post-war reconstruction of oil wells—the company isn’t even disclosing how much the contract is worth, what do you make of this arrangement?

STEPHEN COLBERT: Jon, keeping in mind that Halliburton is a major contributor to the Republican campaigns, and that Vice President Cheney is its former CEO, this move by the government is extremely…um…extremely…

JON: Stephen?

STEPHEN: Yeah, I—hold on, hold on a second Jon. Cause you know I’m a bit of a stickler for language, and I’ve been trying all day to think of what exactly the right word for this would be.

JON: Well, Stephen, maybe I can help you out. Can you just describe what you’re going for?

STEPHEN: Okay, let’s see, um…if this word were a flavor, it would be a thick brown taste in the back of your throat, an acrid tang of decay, like you’re rotting from the inside.

JON: Unpleasant.

STEPHEN: Yeah, that’s getting there.

JON: Nauseating.

STEPHEN: Mmm…it’s tough, it’s tough! I’ve been thinking about this all day, I’ve been poring over my thesaurus, and so far nothing quite captures the feeling. I’ve tried appalling, shameful, reprehensible—I’ve tried cramming words together. Greed-rageous. Back-stab-tastic. And Oh-Christ-just-when-I-was-beginning-to-buy-their-line-of-crap-ical. But nothing quite captures it.

JON: Stephen, surely there must be some word, somewhere—

STEPHEN: No, no, evidently not in English, Jon. Now there is one word in German that I kind of like. DiehandouberdemkaufzussamenSCHLAGEN!! It means “To throw one’s hands up in mute horror, and in this state of paralyzing dread, to realize that those you need to trust most have instead confirmed your darkest fears.” But it seemed a little namby-pamby in this context.

JON: It’s really tough. There is no word.

STEPHEN: I’m afraid not, Jon. The best I can do at this point is just a sound. So I guess I just have to say that this arrangement between Halliburton and the Bush Administration can best be characterized as…*sigh*. Jon?

JON: Thank you very much, Stephen.

To answer somebody's question...
Right-wingers probably like some of it too. TDS seems to make fun of EVERYONE enough that you don't notice too much of a slant.

Though its true I'm 17.
And I'm much, much, much more of a moderate than a right-winger

The Daily Show that was on today (in Canada at 1:30pm) was so funny. It was where they had the correspondant in the sandstorm. Top drawer.

I just wanted to let you know that when this appears on the "Last Post" column next to "General Discussion," this topic appears to be named "And now here it is, you mom..."

lol I expected something different than this.

sorry, leonard.
