"You're as big a dick as you are on any show" - Jon Stewart to Tucker Carlson
I have been basiclly unable to function like a normal human being for the past few days due to the combination of baseball and politics overrunning my life. Between my hapless hometown 'idiots' shitting on the last shreads of civic pride for my homeland, and the constant undulations (and granted weird mechinations) of the 24/7 news cycle I have been unable to really deal with any accademic or art intrests. Terminal.5 still down? Fucked if I care, Curt Schilling is down.

The politics maw of this two headed beast basiclly begain to eat itself raw at 4:30pm (EST) when John Stewart showed up on Crosfire and proceeded to take Tucker Carlson, strip off his pants and bend him over his knee for a bare bottomed spanking. It was Stuart being funny and 100% serious at the same time, the only parallel really Lenny Bruce in his prime. You can see what the crazy dKos lefties thought of it (with some prime quotes) here.

Also props to TV Newser for jumping right on my email and posting it here (note my use of loquacious, unlike this entry I spell-checked and everything).
