The Daily Show has had some great guests lately. Alan Greenspan was on and John Stewart asked him the $64,000 question: "how can our system be called capitalism when the Fed regulates the capital?" Greenspan did a little side step. His other question, "isn't everything the Fed does to help Wall Street and never to help working Americans?" Greenspan gave some fumbling answer of trickle down theory and how Wall Street yachts translate into more sub-prime mortgages. <G> He really didn't even protest that the thesis was basically correct. Presidential candidates are hard to get on the show, unless you count Huckabee, Kucinich, Ron Paul (I count him), and Chris Dodd. But the leaders are tough to get for a sit down. So, Stewart got the spouse of one leader, some guy named Bill Clinton. Question of the evening: "How would it feel to be in The White House and have nobody pay any attention to you while your wife made all the important decisions?" Answer: "I would cut my throat." Clinton let on that he had already picked the candidate for whom he is voting. You gotta love it.

>>Who said Bush never did anything good? Vending machine operators throughout the land are now happy to see Canadian coins in their machines. Even Jimmy Carter couln't accomplish that feat.<< ouch, just ouch! colbert would be proud... or jealous... not sure which. ;-) funny, i never hear cheney or bush talk about the devaluation of the dollar and exploding debt levels when out pimping their economy numbers... i didn't think i could feel economically worse than when gore extrapolated the 1999 bubble for another decade, but these idiots just might do it.
