With the US Presidential elections coming up in November, and poll results looking more and more like a stalemate, I'm going to hedge my bets that we'll see 4 more years of Shrubbery.

But don't fret, fans of reason and decent government, I have a plan that can please everyone. Lets face it, with all the damage that Bush has done in the past 4 years, the United States is a lost cause.

Here in Canada though, not only are we slightly left of center in terms of government, but our current set of politicians are boring. So here is my solution; All you 'failed' democrats, Al Gore, Howard Dean, even Richard Clark -- you're invited to, come up here to Canada and run for our public offices.

Admit it, we could do much worse; some countries already have Why does English have no way of properly writing out the sound make by the forcing of air between two fatty bodies pressed together. We have words like "Phhhhft" or "Brrraaap" or even "Fart". I've even read the use off the word "Poop" as onomatopoeia! However, speak any of these words out; do any of them sound remotely like the real thing? Yes, its ingrained in our cultural minds what sound these refer to, but only through direct condition by speaking of the act that has just taken place.

What will happen, thousands of years in the future, when hyper-anthropologists unearth our internet fart-joke archives, only to have the humour pass by them, as they have no idea what they mean You are the captain of the starship Enterprise. Oh Captain, My Captain Originally uploaded by ihorner. Awhile ago, I'd heard about a project online to take random panels from Jim Davis' "Garfield" comic strip, and splice them together into new 3 panel strips that were in many ways, a zen experience of humour.

Unfortunately, due to the immense asstacularity of the Universal Features Syndicate, I was unable to view any of them on the original site before it was taken down. However, thanks to some furious Googling, I was able to pull up this. A link to someone who has replaced Garfield in the strips, with a "real" cat, that does not converse in though bubbles or otherwise. I was roused at this morning by Nathan to become an honorary "Nerd on Site" to fix the computer of David Byrne's manager, Todd.

Thanks to this, I'm nerding it up in the middle of the festival, enjoying complimentary coffee, brunch, and the after party. More will come, or not, as the day progresses. The larger point -- that turning political dialogue into a kind of sporting event had consequences -- was somewhat overlooked in the uncomfortable banter that ensued.

Begala would later write -- somewhat hyperbolically -- that Stewart "blew up" the show, while acknowledging that some of his criticisms were valid and dismissing others. For his part, Carlson went on to a stint at MSNBC before landing at Fox News, where he has found considerable success engaging in precisely the kind of political theater that Stewart decried.

Stewart, David Letterman and Jay Leno had all shown their more serious sides in the wake of the Sept. Still, Stewart's "Daily Show" tenure contributed to the understanding that comedians could do more than just "be funny," providing compelling voices in exposing media excesses, especially in those places where the theater of it all becomes indistinguishable from the news.

In an op-ed when Stewart announced he was leaving "The Daily Show" in , CNN's Stephen Collinson observed that the comic had "carved out a unique place at the intersection of politics, entertainment and journalism.

The show was canceled just three months after Stewart's appearance on the show in January It was revived again in with Newt Gingrich, S. Cupp, Stephanie Cutter, and Van Jones before being canceled for a second time a year later.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Moloney added in another tweet: "I watched this live in the studio audience and it is still as cringey and wonderful today as it was in It's high time I apologize Never should have lumped you in with that terrible, terrible person," he tweeted on March I called Tucker Carlson a dick on National television. Never should have lumped you in with that terrible terrible person.
