Jon Stewart takes down Keith Olbermann
I’m a fan of both of these guys, but this was well warranted and nicely done, Sir.

A cool little jazzy number from the NYE run, featuring a little Zappa-esque marimba work complements of former drummer Mike Mirro, and horns via Mike “Mad Dog” Mavridoglou (of Jazz Mandolin Project) among others. This tune has only been played one other time, and was a nice New Years treat.
Drew Brees: Quarterback, Legal Expert.

Wow, this could potentially be catastrophic on the sport. With 24 hour sports news coverage on 12 ESPN channels, its amazing that we need Drew Brees to bring this to light.
Sniping at the president by Republicans, including former Vice President Cheney, and by conservative radio and TV commentators, borders on — if not passing into — asinine.
The criticism has included such childishness as blasting Obama for waiting a few days before making a national speech on the incident. For heaven’s sake, the president was briefed on the incident from the moment it occured; he made statements almost immediately indicating his concern and that he was being regularly briefed; he took time to gather the facts and meet with his national security team; and then he appeared publicly to give a rational, measured, but hard-hitting response. And for this, a former vice president criticizes him.
Partisanship truly has pervasively infected our political system when a reasonable, measured, factual, timely and substantive response by a president to a single security incident — the roots of which clearly indicate long-simmering problems that predated his tenure in office — is publicly blasted as irresponsible. In point of fact, those levelling such counterproductive attacks are the ones engaging in irresponsible behavior.

This comes from a guy who led the charge to impeach Clinton. Its gotten so ridiculous, even Bob Barr is appalled.
