We Serve It, Even When It's Hard To Swallow
“Oh yeah, the Status of Forces agreement that Bush signed with the Iraqis. I wonder, what was the benchmark at the end of that agreement that he signed with the Iraqi government – oh, here it is: ‘All the United States forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory no later than December 31, 2011…’ Oops!”
The Daily Show’s John Oliver took an amusing look at the Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York City, who pose a conundrum for some, which is they agree with their message, but the visuals are a little iffy.
Saudi Arabia, where “nothing says democracy like a royal decree,” and women will have the right to “participate” in the elections of 2015. Four short years! Unless, you know, you die from your injuries after being lashed for driving…
Not satisfied with their current picks of the litter, they’ve been hoping against hope that Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), Koch brothers darling and rude jackass extraordinaire, will jump in the race and save them all from their own nightmarish insanity that is manifesting itself in the form of their batshit crazy candidates, as they slowly approach the harsh realization that batshit crazy will never get elected.
Cue panic mode…
One of the biggest beefs I have with those of the Libertarian persuasion is the idea that in a country of over 300 million people, now struggling to survive in a global setting and a global economy, no federal government whatsoever can somehow work and that if you allow every man to be an island and allow the free market to police itself, everything will somehow turn out OK, because it’s worked out so well in the past.
“It seems like the Republicans are doing everything that they can to protect the wealthiest people in this country, through policy and through rhetoric, and I guess I’m just not understanding why, and I’m having a problem with…this decade has not been a bad decade for the wealthiest of Americans. And, if they are the “job creators,” why are they not creating? It feels like a false argument to me.”
“That’s how ridiculous this policy was. The apology for the affront is, ‘Alright, sorry! You can go to Afghanistan and fight for your country!’ They’re lucky it was gay people that they discharged from the army. Only gay people would remain in good enough shape to reenlist.”
“The Darth Vader metaphor is now more true than funny! This is really unbelievable. It took a piece of bionic machinery to humanize Dick Cheney.”

“Shame on you! Shame on you James Hoffa! Gretchen Carlson was so upset she left her prom early to report on this! That is not right!”
The mashup contains one of my favorite Stewart bits: calling on Little Richard to help translate the words of George Dubya Bush.
If you’re a Daily Show fan, you know that when Jon Stewart utters the words, “Hey, so-and-so, meet me at Camera Three,” you know he means business and you know he’s about to drop some serious knowledge. He’s used this technique to communicate with everyone from the President to the National Toy Hall of Fame [...]

Last week, it was a series of correspondent videos explaining the various political parties in America. This week, it a series of “Best of…” mashups starting with this hilarious [...]
“The Republican Party, of course, is very clear about things that they believe in. They believe in torture. They don’t believe in Mexicans. They believe in guns, but not guns and Mexicans together.”
Have I ever said how much I hate it when Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert go on vacation? Well, I do, and now we’re stuck with a two-week dry spell and I already have the shakes. Harrumph! However, The Daily Show is filling the void with some very funny web extras, courtesy of their brilliant [...]
