From The Daily Show:

From The Daily Show:

R.I.P. George Carlin. Great stuff and nsfw.

From The Daily Show:

President Obama channels George W. Bush in his speech announcing the deployment of an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.

From The Colbert Report:

President Obama's speech to send 30,000 troops to Afghanistan was missing passion and a certain word.

Best line of the clip going after the Fox talking heads saying we need to "win" in Afghanistan:

Colbert: Yeah, do as George Bush said, not as he didn't do!

From The Colbert Report:

By sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, President Obama must be unfamiliar with the chain of command.

From The Daily Show:

Aasif Mandvi, Jason Jones and Edward R. Brokaw-Amanpour weigh in on a couple that crashed a state dinner at the White House.

Don Henley- Heart of the Matter

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
...People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
Doesn't keep me warm

Remember my little snark to the producers of This Week a few months ago, over yet another booking of John McCain? Well, I had to do it again this week. Not because of McCain, but the bookings are nearly as egregious:

I'm sure that in the effort to have the show ideologically balanced (for, clearly, every issue is reduced to Democrat vs. Republican on This Week), it has completely escaped the producers' notice that they have booked THREE politicos against health care reform (Coburn, Nelson, Blackburn) to ONE in favor (Wasserman-Schultz).

Curious that ABC's idea of "balance" on an issue with OVERWHELMING public support is to tip the scale against health care reform. Does [your Senior Producer] feel he is serving his viewership well with such skewed bookings?

Sadly, This Week's producer doesn't really want to engage in any further tete a tetes on their skewed sense of balance, but taking a look at this week's schedule, certainly, they're not the only ones guilty. Look, for example, at the hacktacular framing on The Chris Matthews Show. Or the inclusion of Joe "Sucking Media Hole" Lieberman on Meet the Press. Personally, I think I'm gonna focus on the CNN foreign policy shows, rather than pollute my brain with any more of the health care nonsense.
