Daily Show On Colin Powell’s Success At The U.N. Security Council

This is from the October 20, 2003 program.
This is about the U.N. Security Council resolution that was passed unanimously a few weeks ago.
(I won’t try to pretend to know what the resolution actually accomplished. If somebody has a link to the damn thing, please email it to me, and I’ll post it here. The U.N. Security Council website is a little behind schedule apparently, and I can get its documents to manifest themselves in my browser anyway. Thanks.)

Daily Show On The Donald Rumsfeld Memo

Leave a reply

From Jon:

“This week, a harsh report of America’s policy has surfaced, accusing our defense department of failing to adapt fast enough to emerging threats and questioning if America’s armed forces are even up to the task. In response, an angry Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld responded by saying, ‘I wrote what?!’ “

Many Apol-poly-logies…

Sorry to be asleep at my post for the most part this week (except for my San Francisco pre-election coverage – which I’m guessing doesn’t mean Jack to most of you, considering you’re scattered out all over the world).
This week, my over-impacted schedule kind of bubbled over and burned me a bit — I’m still about a week behind on everything, but at least I might actually be caught up in a week. (Which would be nice.)
While doing inventory, I realized that I’m about two weeks behind on my Daily Show clips — yikes! There’s some timely stuff in there too!
So I’ve decided to block out the rest of the afternoon to catch up on those.
I’m going to wait to capture tonight’s Daily Show, and then I swear I’m going to send off my camera to be serviced. What does this matter to you? Well it means no new Daily Show clips for two weeks. (gasp!)
I can live through it if you can…
Alright, enough yappin and time to do some linkin…

So I haven’t even found out how much of the election turned out yet, but, for me, this election was really all about the experience of it all. I had a great time voting yesterday. I had some great conversations with the poll workers in my precinct, and decided to go home and get the camera and interview the lot of them.
So Matt Gonzales it is then.
The music video shoot went well last night. I got to wear all black and shiny boots and an eye patch and a funny agent hat. It was great hanging out with Gregory from widehive records and I interviewed Azeem, who is an independent artist in his own right, as well as the lead singer for the band Variable Unit on Under Surveillance (and the star of the video).

Reader Question To Tom Ammiano: What About SF Bay Guardian Publisher Bruce Brugmann’s Endorsement Of Angela Alioto?

Leave a reply

Steve Rhodes asked me to ask Tom Ammiano the following question:
“Ask him what he thought of Bruce Brugmann’s endorsement of Angela and if it
was a bit hypocritical for a paper that has decried the influence of money
in politics gave one reason for supporting her that she is rich and can
spend her own money in the runoff.”

Why Vote Yes On Prop B?

I don’t have time to transcribe this one. But here’s Tom on voting “Yes” on Prop B.

How I’m voting this Tuesday
This footage is from October 31, 2003.
I took advantage of having access to Tom Ammiano in person Friday to ask him about the other propositions on the ballot. What he said makes sense to me. I hope it will be helpful to you in making your decisions about tomorrow’s elections.

Lisa: “What about D? Something about a small business commission?”
Tom: “Eh. You know, it takes the commission that now exists and makes it a charter commission, and people who are involved in small business feel that it would give them more status and a little more juice. I think the jury is out about whether or not that could happen, because a lot of times things are just very decorous. But perhaps it could work, and I’m not against small businesses so, ya know, fine.”
