Well, this is really only fitting I suppose. Especially when the President of the United States seems to care more about Israel and its interests than that of his own country. It’s hard to explain why else he would take a cheap (and bullshit) shot at an American politician in front of the Israeli parliament.
Anyways, republicans and Effexor, a match made in heaven!

Last night senior citizen John McCain left his cryogenic chamber to make an appearance with John Stewart to talk about the people that hate him. And in an old man Hanoi Hilton flashback, he also feels the need to quote the old communist leader of China.
Viva McCain/Denny’s Grand Slam Breakfast 08!’

Even though I’m ahead (6 hours from Eastern Standard Time) I’m still behind here in the Netherlands-with regards to American political goings on.
So Huckabee is finally out now? What about all that talk about taking it to the convention?? Oh, John McCain officially became the nominee, that’s right. And what about all that Obamamentum? That has to be all the rage across the United States after Tuesday!! Oh, he lost Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and perhaps a colony. Did any colonies vote this time (not counting Rhode Island)?
So Hillary has the momentum now and is all the rage …read more
The writers strike is finally over! After watching over a month of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report episodes without writers, yesterday they finally came back! I have to hand to them, they did a great job without their full time writers, but something was definitely missing. As funny as Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are, it’s tough doing fresh comedy 4 nights a week without writers.
And hell, people like Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien had been doing 1 hour shows 5 nights a week without their full time writers. It’s been interesting but 5 weeks of …read more

Yesterday Mitt Romney suspended his campaign for president due to his realization that he had zero chance to be president. In the beginning, I wasn’t a fan of Mitt Romney, but after I watched him more his arrogant dickishness really grew on me. Unlike the other candidates, when asked whether Ronald Reagan would endorse him, Romney did not hesitate for a moment before saying “absolutely.” Unfortunately, despite Rush Limbaugh’s endorsement, Romney was simply unable to capture enough delegates to continue.
Yesterday, Romney gave a stirring concession speech where he threw around loads of his ‘wisdom’ on various topics. Here’s a …read more

Last night The Daily Show and The Colbert Report returned to the airwaves for the first time since November 1st, shortly before the writer’s strike began. Despite the strike still going on, Comedy Central ordered the two comedians back to follow suit with David Letterman, Jay Leno and others on the bigger networks.
The shows were definitely different without the writers, but being they were the first in months, they weren’t necessarily less entertaining, particularly The Colbert Report which relies heavily on Stephen Colbert staying in character.
Colbert was bewildered as to why there weren’t any words on his teleprompter. He was then …read more
Yes! They’re finally coming back! It’s been weird the past few months not having new episodes of The Daily Show and the Colbert Report to make fun of all the shenanigans going on in politics and life.
Since they’ve been off so long they’ve missed out on making fun of so many different things. There’s been men coming forward saying they’ve had sex with ‘anti-gay’ senator Larry Craig, President Num Nuts doing his job (nuff’ said there), the idiocy of the run-up to the Iowa caucuses and so much more. It’s great that they’ll be back in just a few weeks to …read more
The Bush administration has announced that their “policies” against terror cells in northwest Pakistan have failed. The strategy involved leaving them alone and seeing what happened. Actually, the administration has had little choice because of the Iraqi diversion away from Afghanistan and political pressure on Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf (who last year had a lovely book tour here in the US and appeared on The Daily Show with John Stewart).
Shockingly, Pakistani presidents’ book tours in the US don’t go over too well with radical Muslim factions. But to Pervez’s credit he knew there was little choice but to broker a “deal” between the …read more

Here is the video of the Mooninite billboards that were placed around Boston that resulted in much of the city’s shutdown Wednesday. Apparently, the tiny billboards had been around for about a month but while lit up did not look like bombs. Then the batteries went out and were not replaced, leaving a circuit board looking contraption with wires hanging out of it. A Harvard scholar found one under a bridge and well, the rest is just embarrassing.
The person seen placing the Mooninite billboards around Boston was arrested for his role in leaving objects for their batteries to expire and …read more

Last night on The Daily Show with John Stewart, Bush’s ‘State of the Union’ speech was broken down in usual Stewart fashion.
Stewart showed a clip of Bush saying “We must balance the federal budget, confront the serious challenge of global climate change, reduce gasoline usage in the US by 20% and make health care affordable for all Americans”.
Of course, this rhetoric is no where in sync with Bush’s policies and Stewart responded with “Interesting, he seems to be contradicting everything he stands for…Wait, I’ve seen this tactic before!…I think it could work!”
He then proceeded to show a clip of Seinfeld …read more
