Below is a Daily Show video in which Jon Stewart makes some great comments about the media’s treatment of Ron Paul. And here’s BusinessInsider’s take on the now famous picture of Michele Bachman eating a corndog.
Here are two must-watch videos from last night’s Daily Show. Fans/detractors of Reagan’s legacy should especially watch second video: ‘Tax Cut Religion’.

“I [Julian Assange] give you private information on corporations for free and I’m a villain.

Unlike The Daily Show, SNL goes for pure jokes
Earlier this week, the NBER was a year late calling the end of the recession. And back in December 2008, they were a year late calling the beginning. The Daily Show video below is a good bit on the end of the recession, but still doesn’t top Paul Kedrosky’s masterful tweet a few days ago:

As gas pains plague America, the media subjects us to increasingly painful coverage of the topic. The Daily Show did a good segment on the topic, which is shown below in full. The best part is toward the end where the man-in-the-street guy at the gas station says of high gas prices: “I just close
This week, The Daily Show continued it’s parade of second-rate talent since A-list talent (rightfully) won’t cross a picket line to appear on the show.
