Jon Stewart on the Media's Treatment of the Poor

On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart pointed out that the news media has been taking a harsh stance against Americans who are so poor that they're exempt from income taxes, yet those same outlets are mum when it comes to Exxon not paying a dime in US taxes on their $35 billion in annual profits. It's just one more reason why my program to donate gently used oil rigs to cash-strapped single moms and elderly retirees is such a great idea.

The Daily Show on Obama's Final Health Care Push

On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart reported on President Obama's last ditch efforts to pass health care reform and Fox News's coverage of a liberal health care protest. I honestly didn't even know there were liberal health care protesters. I hope they at least came up with a better name than Tea-Baggers. You know, like Queef-Poopers or something.

Jon Stewart on Megyn Kelly and Sarah Palin

According to Fox News, they air actual objective news programming from 9am to 4pm and 6pm to 8pm, but as Jon Stewart pointed out on last night's Daily Show, that simply doesn't appear to be the case. Of course there's a reasonable explanation for this. Those time-slots were taken out of context. Fox does indeed show pure unbiased fact-based news from 9am to 4pm and 6pm to 8pm. And they do it every other February 29.

Below, Jon praises the stand-up comedy debut of Sarah Palin.

The Most Attractive (Physically, Not Cerebrally) Women in the GOP

I just wrote a really long essay about how much I disagree with this list of The Hottest (Lady) Elephants in the GOP Room that Jessica Strul put together for The Frisky, and not one of the points I made was that the very idea of the list was idiotic.

I'm too embarrassed to publish the entirety of what I wrote, so lemme just give you the Cliff's Notes version…

* Was "Hottest (Lady) Elephants" really the most appropriate or clever title they could come up with? And can we expect "Hottest Democrat (Lady) Asses" as a follow-up?

* Totally agree with Strul on Sarah Palin (#1) and Michelle Malkin (#7), despite how much I dislike their ideologies.

* Ann Coulter (#2) looks like a foot wearing a wig; that fact alone should have kept her off the list.

* Mary Liz Cheney (#8) what? How? Why? Really? (Update: My mistake. It's Liz Cheney. Accidentally wrote the wrong name; my confusion still applies.)

* Michele Bachmann and Fox News' Megyn Kelly were robbed by Cheney and Coulter.

Well, that part of my life is over now, thankfully. And I'm only 13 percent stupider than when I started.
