And it's pretty funny.

Always liked the Daily Show because they pick on both sides, and deservedly so.

Indeed

On a somewhat unrelated note there are some interesting looking films here:
2005 Los Angeles Film Festival

Did you miss John Stewart on Crossfire? Well click the above link. I loved it.

I was intrigued...no...paranoid, by the title of the thread.
...and yet, the Daily Show made no mention of me.
_{Are you mocking me?}

No moment of Zen?

I miss the more bi-partisan humor sources. Doonesbury used to be good about that, but it's gone wholly over to the left now. I had to find a right-wing comic strip to try and counteract that, Day by Day. Unfortunately, both strips spend almost all their energy bashing the other side, and only a little bit on actual humor . I'm considering dropping both from my reading list. All the rest are essentially apolitical. :S

Doonesbury is very good indeed. I think it still jabs left right and center.

Right is a plumper target of late.

@Hugo - you obviously haven't been reading the same Doonesbury strips I have. I don't recall a single comic aimed at Dems since the 2000 election. He used to lampoon Clinton and Gore just as much as the Reps. He did not one single Kerry comic in the 04 election.

Kerry wasn't very funny me thinks.

Sometimes poignancy defies classical ideological labels.

I hate this idea that fairness trumps truth and/or reason and/or logic. Because there are two parties, each deservers half of everything? This is how they pushed the creationist nonsense in ohio and wherever else. If there are 2 views, then we give each a chair, thus, balance. As there is a mis-stepping republican party, there must be an equally askew democratic one. It's crap.

Impeach for a little sucky sucky tho, yes? Which of these things is funny.

So, you're trying to say that there is NOTHING the Dems have done that is stupid or capable of being lampooned? NOTHING? :o

I am not demanding this: "I hate this idea that fairness trumps truth and/or reason and/or logic. Because there are two parties, each deservers half of everything? "

All I am saying is that I prefer my HUMOR to not be partisan. BOTH sides do stupid things that can be laughed at. If the stuff I laugh at does not consistently attack one side or another, then I don't feel like I'm being manipulated by the cartoonist.

But since you all will have great fun yelling at me for not being anti-Republican (again), I cede this thread to you. Say whatever you want. Enjoy.

Consider magnitude/gravity. I think the daily show gets it as right as it can be gotten, considering their urban clever bias and whatnot.
I can't think of funny democratic things lately. Did he hit kerry windsurfing? Jessie Jackson at the MJ trial was pretty funny. If you can come up with something, let me know.

What is growing the economy? Is the economy a vegetable? Can we teach Bush larger words? We went to war because we were attacked? Why didn't we invade Iran or some other place where Arabs live? Pick the place that survived your daddy's big woopsie, there can be only one.

The democrats consider themselves clever and correct while the majority of us take care of them by voting the right way.

The irony of the above statement is mindboggling.

Did you hear? John Kerry was a bigger doofus in college than Bush. He averaged 76 while Bush averaged 77 (while drinking beer and snorting coke). So much for intellectual superiority.
