Jon Stewart has put together a nice montage of Democrats asking the Shrub “where the heck are the WMDs?”
These clips are from the June 9, 2003 Daily Show.

According to the IRS Website, thanks to the extra $400 you might be able to get for each kid this summer, parenting doesn’t have to be the same old thankless, pain in the ass of an experience:
In the summer of 2003, your kids could be memorable for more than just a skinned knee, a stray dog, or a boyfriend with an earring. This summer your kids could be the reason you get a special check from Uncle Sam! And all you have to do is cash it.
By the way, there are parts of this bit that Lewis Black isn’t kidding about. There really is a baby surrounded by money on the cover of the IRS Website.
Here’s a link to the
other section of the IRS website he pokes fun at. (Yes I’ve saved a picture of it in case they take it down, but right now you can look for yourself.)

You may not have seen anything on television in the news this week about the FCC Media Ownership Vote, probably because the five media conglomerates that own the news didn’t think it was important to tell you about it. (And that’s what happens when there are only five different companies deciding what you see and don’t see on television.)
Luckily, The Daily Show came through with a full report.

This just in from the Daily Show:
…the U.S. has told the World Health Organization it will not sign a groundbreaking treaty to curb global tobacco use, a treaty negotiated by 171 countries. The U.S. will only sign the treaty, and this is true, if a clause is added allowing us to opt-out of any part of the treaty at any time. It’s the latest twist of theh Bush Administration’s practice of only signing International Treaties ironically.
So to sum up, America’s current even handed stance on international relations is “we do what we want, you do what we want.”
A policy encapsulated on Airforce One’s latest novelty bumpersticker “How’s my diplomacy? Call 1-800-EAT SHIT.”

Why hasn’t anybody in the popular press put together this kind of comparison?
This is another one of those, “That’s hilarious!” (laugh until I cry) kind of moments.
By committing our country to years of “nationbuilding” in Iraq, the Shrub is doing exactly what he promised he wouldn’t do when he was running for President in 2000.
I suppose the rationale is that 911 changed his mind. (So let’s just get that out of the way.)
Anyway here it is. I’m gonna go get a coffee while the high resolution version is crunching. Then it will take a while longer to upload that sucker (it’ll be a biggie).
Also note the MP3 of the audio below — this sounds just as great without the pictures — and I’ve also uploaded the uncompressed AIFF file — so that those of you who are so inclined can do your creative mischief.
Enjoy!
