On Tuesday night, The Daily Show directed its attention to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his speech to Congress. The program is simply terrific at revealing hypocrisy, inconsistency, and hyperbole. In this case, the focus was on Iran and its alleged threat to Israel and the rest of the region. As a side benefit, there is some reminiscing about the buildup to the Iraq war:
Jon Stewart is an American institution and I'm going to miss him when he departs the award-winning program.

Life on Russian Roads
Did you see last night's episode of "The Daily Show"? This segment was one of the most hilarious ever:
"Tank!"
The "Benny Hill" video/audio tribute near the end is definitely worth the wait.

Union busting?
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?
