Olivia Munn Travels to Arizona to Investigate Their Controversial New (Highway Speed Camera) Law

This segment on Arizona's new mandatory minority harassment law is brand-new fresh-out-of-the-packaging correspondent Olivia Munn's first field piece for The Daily Show, and I think she handled it perfectly. (Naysayers, to you, I say disagree.) It's unfortunate that she looks kind of foreigny and has been indefinitely detained by Arizona authorities.

More Daily Show coverage on Arizona's Law SP1070 after the jump…

George Washington Was Reverse-Influenced by Sarah Palin's Courage

Paul "The Smartest Man in the Universe" Whitfield has just published something very interesting on Investors' Business Daily (and it only took him a week of intense thought to come up with it)…

In 1754, Lt. Col. George Washington quit the Virginia militia, an obscure fact that now seems a bit more interesting in the wake of Gov. Sarah Palin's resignation in Alaska.

You know, now that I think about it, Benjamin Franklin wore glasses… just like Sarah Palin!

And Abraham Lincoln was known for his penchant for breathing oxygen… just like Sarah Palin. They're practically the same person!
