9. Thanks! Just finished watching the show on satellite. I wonder if they got it from here?

I guess I'll never know.

2. Hey, public domain. I would be flattered if they used any comment I posted.

What's truly tragic is that "The Daily Show" researchers are doing the work of what our Founding Ancestors expected of Journalists in a free country NOT writers for a political comedy show. ... But none the less - sincerely - Best Wishes & Bless Them! :hi:

7. Court Jesters

have always had a better ability to speak the proverbial truth to the jack booted authority of power. I think that's a lot of why they get to do what the do. If these stories were told with a straight face I don't know if the show would be allowed to continue its run.

5. I still think it looked like a cross. Wouldn't put it past the Repukes to do that. n/t

8. I saw that joke here and knew it would be on TDS.

Now I'm getting out of here so y'all don't ruin it for me (west coast).
