The Daily Show - It's All Good

Jon Stewart takes a look at the spin-treatment the Bush Administration is giving the results of the surge in Iraq.



Senior Baghdad Corespondent John Oliver argues that Iraq is finally ready for it's Bar Mitzvah.



BONUS: Adding one more segment from last night's show, because I can't resist the combination of Jon Stewart + baseball + Bush getting booed in public.

R.I.P. Evel Knievel

The world's greatest stuntman, Evel Knievel died yesterday at the age of 69, from natural causes. Here is the NBC obituary for the legendary dare devil.


This is his first-ever televised jump, on November 10th, 1973, at the LA Coliseum, from ABC's Wide World of Sports. Here he jumped 50 stacked cars while riding his motorcycle.


And this is his first major crash, on September 8th, 1974, at Idaho's Snake River Canyon. For this stunt, Evel attempted to jump the canyon in a jet-powered sled, despite the fact that two previous unmanned flights were unsuccessful.

Side Note: The Snake River Canyon stunt took place on the day I was born. My mom watched the preparations for the stunt between contractions. And after giving birth to me - just as the drugs were wearing off - the first words out her mouth were, "Did he make it?!"

Phil Rizzuto - The Money Store Ad


R.I.P. Yankee legend Phil Rizzuto.

Knuckles & I got to attend tonight's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The stadium played a loving tribute to The Scooter and fans chanted his name at the start of the game. It was lovely.

I only wish that the Yanks hadn't lost 12-0... Oy!

Check out more videos about Phil Rizzuto on the Yankees website.

Okay, I gotta dedicate this one to Chris and Stephen, for getting me interested in MMA. Thanks to you both for indulging my weakness for half-naked, sweaty men.

Baseball Bitchiness


God I love baseball season!

I am far from an Atlanta Braves fan, but this is a thing of beauty. Watch as their manager totally GOES OFF on the umpire. I've never seen anything quite like this.
