Jon Stewart: What's the focus?

Ed Helms: Jon, the President is focusing on his agenda for the next four years. One, finishing the war in Iraq. Two, starting the war in three other places, TBD of course. Three, the Supreme Court has got some vacancies to fill, the Constitution still has a few loose ends that need tightening. And I'm not going to say that prayer will be mandatory, but lets just say thine loom and churn best be still on the sabbath goodman. Gonna be a busy four years, Jon.

Jon: Ed, I have to say what you're suggesting for his agenda, they're pretty radical moves. With the country still bitterly divided don't you think Bush is going to have to make some concession at least to the...

Ed: Concessions! Jon, this is a man that lost the popular vote last time and interpretted that as a mandate. This time he won straight up, 51 to 48 percent. To him that's a shut out! You can be sure things are getting done around here Jon.

Ed (Continued): Word of advice, if you want to have gay sex or visit a library this is probably your last night to do those things... Personally, I'll be killing two birds with one stone.

The Daily Show owns.

I tried to watch the Daily Show again today, just out of a nod to my liberal friends. I just can't stomach it... John Stewart is the most self-important, self-absorbed, snide man in television. Hey John -- the nineties ended! Irony is over. Its OK to show some sincere emotion and for God's sake, stop with the whole gadfly bit.

I've been thinking this physical reaction I have to Stewart is something like what the left has to Rush Limbaugh, but even Limbaugh, like Al Franken on the left, shows humanity and concern.

I shiver that people, especially young people, take Stewart seriously.

TDS is hilarious. I especially like Colbert's analysis of the election results (the one where he compares terrorism with "homoism"). It's so brilliant the way they criticize the system and politics through comedy.

I wish we could get TDS every day here. Right now, all we have is the weekly, internation edition on CNN. *sniff*
