Bin Laden is dead.

HAHA! Yes, so truth.
But you're not a liberal right? I only ask because I've noticed almost all conservatives dislike Stewart, while all liberals seem to find him funny.
I wonder if it has to do with him becoming a non comedian and just serious?

Well, fair enough.
I've griped about Stewart being a faux comedian/pundit hybrid enough anyway, heh

As awesome as hating Communists was, my vote goes for the 1880's.

Yeah, Jon Stewart has pretty well crossed the line between comedian and liberal whip by now. Granted, he can still be funny at times. Just not nearly as often as he was 10 years ago. Colbert is both funnier and more incisive than Stewart these days.

"Hah! American fools... I shall return... Mwahahahahaa!"

You could try what most people are doing to overcome the stress and anxiety caused by our empires decline; you could just pretend it isn't happening, in the unspoken hope that maybe you were wrong all along, and the banks and their servants in government were right, and unlimited debt and currency devaluation are for some reason the key to prosperity and growth..

Anyway, I'm being flippant. This has come at a great time for Obama; crap economy, troops still in Iraq, a new war front open in Libya, pre-election pledges not honoured, birth certiface guff in the media, and now all of a sudden he is a hero. His second term is in all probabilty in the bag. Turned out nice..

I think Pat said the same, although if memory serves he said the 1890s.  Can you guys debate the merits of the 1880s vs. 1890s for us? 

I don't know who I think is werse bin Laden or Qaddaffi, I will soay both are equals, strangly enough they coverd each of the two major newspaers frontpage, and head case, one with the afce of Gaddafi, and one with Osama,

The former actually has a legitimate cause. The latter does not. Two terrible people, but Qaddafi might be worse.
