truthiness

Now that I am out of the country, I don’t get to watch the Daily Show or Colbert Report as much as I would like. Occasionally I see a great clip being passed around, and occasionally I download an episode or two. To be completely honest, I love Jon Stewart’s Daily Show, and I LOVED […]

Jon Stewart on Larry King

As usual, another brilliant appearance by Jon Stewart. This guy makes so much sense it hurts. Why oh why is the only reasonable political commentary coming from a guy on Comedy Central?

Hail Bruce Lee.

Bosnia hasn’t been in the news in awhile. It’s either that or the fact that I don’t watch the news enough (not at all).
Unless Jon Stewart tells me what’s going on, I generally don’t have a clue about the world and the happenings within.

yet another nuclear power to worry about

Sandwiched between Kazakhstan and Uzbekestan is another little-known former Soviet Union country that is about to become a household name. Nukehavistan most likely has nuclear weapons and is not afraid to use them, a recent report suggests.
