3. Oh you Sleepaholics! O.K, but they do repeat it in the morning.
In the East it's repeated at 10:00am, 2:00pm, and 8:00pm ET.

What are the Western Time Zone replay times, I can never get anyone out there to answer that for me.

Good Night.

10. Here in Portland, Oregon, on Comcast cable, we get it at 8PM and 11PM.
Not sure about the rest of the night. I try to watch it as much as I can, but miss sometimes. Colbert starts his show on the 1/2 hour, so the choices are 8:30 PM and 11:30 PM.

I've never been to Colorado, although we did lay over at Stapleton Airport a couple of times. It would be nice to see -- my husband said that the drive to Vail, CO is just gorgeous. He used to do business there long ago when he was a regional sales manager for the western states. That was when we lived in Boston, Massachusetts!

In peace,

4. Pay anything.. get The Daily Show..
Hold up convenience stores for the money if you have to... Daily Show is worth it. Jon does all the shit the dems should be doing.

He had a pie chart of where the money has gone, and told us that the war has cost each American over $2,000 bucks.

Seriously, I tape TDS for a couple we know. Try to con somebody into doing it.

5. O.K. (West Coast Spoiler)
First he showed one of the Bush Talking heads on ABC with Ted Coppel (sp?) saying that the War on Iraq was only going to cost $1.8 Billion Dollars, then he demonstrated how much that is with the "I won the Lottery" giant Checks (very visual joke).

Then he showed on a Pie Chart how it breaks down:

$47 Billion for fighting the Insurgency

$89 Billion for convincing people we are winning the fight against the insurgency

$8 Billion for Reconstructions

$43 Billion for Re-Re-constuction... Etc.

It should be at this link between 9am and 12 Noon tomorrow: <http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/videos/most_recent/index.jhtml>

7. Thank you for your kindness.
My elderly pc won't download the video clips so I feel very deprived in moments like this.

9. I loved the part about "making pie charts -- $8 billion"
or something like that (my numbers may be off, I was laughing so hard)

11. How many billions for "fake" news stories. I bet Stewart is really
pissed that the Pentagon spends so much money for fake news. And Jon can't even get a piece of that pie.
