an in-depth analysis of the writers' strike, complete with footnotes

This whole "no Daily Show" thing[1] really sucks ass.[2]

[1] I mean, seriously. There's a whole new National Intelligence Estimate on Iran and all of us self-satisfied armchair liberals are stuck looking for the humor in Tom Friedman columns. Shoot me now.

[2] Classy, eh?

Amen, brother. The only thing that's keeping me afloat right now is my crazed passion for soccer and a club, international and league schedule no one man could keep up with and my bittorrent downloads of season one of Lucy, Daughter of the Devil which I just discovered yesterday. (If you haven't seen it, there are some clips on YouTube which may hook you.

But man oh man, do we need our Daily Show back...

Try reading the headlines out loud, with your eyebrows raised. (Actually, just *try* reading them out loud *without* raising them.)

@jay - thanks for the suggestion re. Lucy; I'll check that out! This weekend I think I'm going to dive into Season 2 of Weeds, which I haven't seen yet. Though I don't think Mary Louise Parker's character will have much to say about Iran.

@Bill - I"ll try that, but I'm worried folks around me will think me odd. er.
