Palpatine On The Senate Floor

| | Comments (1)

In an unexpected appearance, the Dark Lord of the Sith was seen in the Senate today. For some time now, many have suspected the evil hand of the dark side of the force in the proceedings of our goverment.

Radicals have struggled to take control of the courts, to destroy treasured Constitutional rights, and to quiet dissent. Now it appears that a hearty band of rebels is prepared to stand against the power of the dark side.

Scalia takes what position?

| | Comments (0)

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was challenged on his views of sexual morality while addressing an crowd of students at Harvard University. He surprised his audience by telling them: "I even take the position that sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged."

One member of the audience also asked the judge "whether you have any gay friends, and, if not, whether you'd like to be my friend," the Harvard Crimson newspaper reported.

John Stewart Gets Tough

| | Comments (2)

Tonight, Ed Gillespie, chairman of the Republican party, appeared on the Daily Show after two skits making fun of the Republican Convention that will begin in New York City next week.

As he sat down, Stewart told him that John Kerry had been on the show the night before and asked where Gillespie's guy was. "Does he hate young people?" asked John Steward. He started to cite the Pew poll that reveals his show to be a primary source of information for my demographic but contorted the citation into a joke. "1 in 10 young people can make a bong out of an apple."

"Well those aren't our voters," replied an increasingly red faced Gillespie.

To change the subject, Gillespie started talking about a "documentary" that he just "made" about John Kerry on the war in Iraq in his own words.

Stewart quickly interrupted, "you're not really going to bring up Iraq are you."

"I see where you're going with this.... Kerry voted for the war and missed committee meeting but your guy took us there!"

As John Stewart would say, wha?

Watching this incredible performance I was dumbstruck. Will a Republican ever again come on the show? The interview became increasingly tense but Stewart kept the zingers flying.

What makes this interview so shocking is that Stewart's questions are not that radical. He merely held the leader of the dominant party accountable for his "parsing." In this time of media impotence, real questions appear truly shocking.
