Each Monday through Thursday since they returned to the airwaves, I feel guilty tuning in to "A Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and Stephen Colbert.
Worse, the shows are just not as good without the crisp writing -- though Colbert is holding up better than Stewart in my view. Before the strike, I found Stewart's show to be superior. Colbert's bit with Lou Dobbs on Thursday was fantastic, but I am getting very tired of the string of Republican guests on Stewart. Sigh.
The strike was definitely having an economic impact since ratings were down dramatically.
Cartoonist Ted Rall had a great cartoon about Stewart and union busting on January 17. Check it out.
Readers, are you showing more solidarity for the writers? Who is watching and who is skipping?

I'm interested in international relations, American foreign policy, climate change, US presidential elections, public debate, Kansas Jayhawks basketball, film, and major league baseball.
