So the Dems in Texas had to “vote with their feet” again and go running in order to block a Republican-backed redistricting measure that would recount the districts in such a way that the Republicans would end up with more seats. (For more information on this, read the letter from Texas State Senator Rodney Ellis that I just posted from MoveOn.
This clip has Stephen Colbert interviewing Senator Rodney Ellis and Senator Leticia Van De Putte, two of the “runaways.”

The Daily Show’s Mo Rocca has really outdone himself this time!
This has got to be one of the funniest bits I’ve ever seen.
Apparently, there’s a new syphilis outbreak, and the Dept. of Health hired an advertising company to run some focus groups and find out the best way to deal with the problem.
The result: The Healthy Penis. A squeaky clean fallice with a big smile to help people understand about healthy genital hygiene. San Francisco residents responded very positively to The Healthy Penis.
Everything seemed great, until it was time for The Healthy Penis to bring the campaign down to Los Angeles. Citizens there, such as Ron Jeremy, objected to a healthy penis being used as a symbol for syphilis. As an alternative, organizations in L.A. created “Phil the Sore” to start a negative campaign using scare tactics to educate the public about syphilis, (rather than having a healthy genital representative’s positive tips and information).

There’s an introduction in the beginning by Jon Stewart with a clip of Toronto Mayor Mel Lastman saying “have you ever seen the United States take the blame for anything?”
According to Stewart, the US tried to blame Canada for the Blackout at first — before it was discovered that it was a problem with the US side of the grid after all.

This clip has footage of the Shrub explaining the lesson we were supposed to learn from the blackout: we need to upgrade our power grid! (Of course.)
Funny, a friend of mine was telling me this morning that all the conspiracy theorists were speculating on the Shrub saying this before the week was out, and that Halliburton would probably get the contract. I guess the Stewart heard the same rumours. (Or started them 🙂
