What’s in a name? That which we call a rose,

by any other name would smell as sweet;

It would still smell sweet, but it would probably be rotting inside.

A spade is a spade, so lets just be real here. No more iambic pentameter (if you're lucky). Probably no deep thoughts. Just my opinions with a healthy dose of wit and sarcasm thrown in (if I'm lucky).

By the way... I tend to lean kinda far to the left... won't you lean with me?

Best Television Program Ever

The Daily Show... Television genious. Hosted by a man on a mission. John Stewart is trying to change the face of politics and reporting in this country, seemingly singlehandedly. If you don't watch it, you have no idea what you are missing. Comedy Central - 11pm ET/ 10pm CT Monday through Thursday. It's comedy with a brain. Watch it, love it. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be afraid, very afraid.

John Stewart was on CNN's Crossfire yesterday. If you don't know, Crossfire is a supposed "debate" style program where 4 political pundits (2 liberal, 2 conservative) talk over each other for a while and still never make any points. It seems that they invited Stewart on the show to inject some humor, and maybe boost the ratings a bit (not hard to do, let me tell you). What actually happened was television gold. Stewart took one look at Tucker Carlson (the bow tie wearing concervative blowhard) and gave him the equivalent of a verbal deep colonic. Though they didn't show it on camera, I am convinced that after Stewart was done, that short pshycic lady from Poltergeist came out and pronouced "this man is clean". It's not that Stewart doesn't like Carlson's politics (Stewart claims to be an independent), he doesn't like him as a human, or specifically as a journalist. Watch the video HERE.
