My love for the Daily Show has been renewed:
http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/240653/mon-august-10-2009-douglas-brinkley The first five to ten minutes are great, it's like taking your brain to the spa after soaking in all the bullshit I talked about in that earlier post. My favorite part:
Crazy Republicans: We're afraid of Obama!
Dude Leading Town Hall: Why are you afraid?
CR: He's a socialist!
DLTH: (looks around, bewildered)
CR (emphasizing every word like he is in a bad action movie): You should be afraid of Obama! We are all afraid of Obama!
I can't wrap my head around being scared of Obama. He's a great orator and a pretty amazing person and all that, but he is not all that frightening.
