Congress is taking a break for Thanksgiving, and as Jon Stewart pointed out on last night's Daily Show, it's bad news for everyone. After all, without Congress in session, who will warn us that the terrorists are going to kill us all, who will offer detailed plans for killing us all to the terrorists, and, perhaps most importantly, who will make the founders perpetually spin in their graves? That's where they get electricity for heaven, you know?

According to the newly released Senate healthcare bill, Democrats want to pay for reform by taxing so-called "Cadillac insurance plans." Which sounds good, until you remember GM filed for bankruptcy this year. "Cadillac" doesn't exactly mean what it used to.

This week marked the highly anticipated release of Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue. With the book, Palin has once and for set the record straight and cocksuredly answered those pundits and critics who said she couldn't read or write. You can see Stephen Colbert's defense of Palin after the jump, but first a one-two punch from The Daily Show.

Last night, Joe Biden made his first appearance on The Daily Show since being elected Vice President of these United States of A, and I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed. The interview lasted 14 minutes and there weren't any of the hilarious gaffes I've come to expect from the Veep. He didn't call Khalid Sheikh Mohammed "a pretty okay guy once you get to know him." He didn't accidentally blurt out missile codes. Hell, it didn't even look like his shoelaces were tied together. What a let down.

The interview continues below.

We knew this was going to happen. We were warned. Gay rights opponents have all along told us that treating gays like normal people was a slippery slope, and they were right. No sooner have we started to tolerate people living the gay lifestyle, now they want to die the gay lifestyle. It's like they say, you give the gays an inch, they ask for basic human dignity!
