Oh, God
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2004What was the deciding factor for most Americans who got up off they asses and/or sent in their absentee ballots on time and voted? Nope, not the economy.

Congratulations, America—you’ve voted for four more years of invasions and war, economic decline, deficit, poor education, fucking the environment, shitty healthcare, running Social Security into the ground and more.

Jon Stewart on Crossfire
Sunday, October 17th, 2004“What you do is not honest. What you do is partisan hackery,” Stewart said. “You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably. “I watch your show every day, and it kills me. It’s so painful to watch,” Stewart added as it became apparent that the comedian was not joking. He went [...]
