'Daily Show' Beats Leno, Letterman In Ratings For First Time
The Daily Show" reached a milestone this week, as newly released ratings revealed that the Comedy Central show was the top show in the coveted 18-49 demographic for the month of October.
This marks the first time in at least a decade that the top spot has not gone to either "The Tonight Show" or David Letterman's "Late Show."
The GOPers would do well to recognize the power of this show.

It’s How You Play the Game: The Fate of Western Civilization and Grade-School Soccer

"With the team ahead, they were thrilled.
One shouted from the sidelines something I thought showed real character: “Don’t let the good players do all the work!”
Instinctively, he recognized that some players are better, but he wanted to bring everyone’s level up rather than down. I
’m tempted to say he was going against what he was being taught in school."

You’ve elected officials who, for partisan points, spoke openly that the “…war is lost.”
I happened to be in a dining facility in Baghdad that day, filled with the (mostly) young faces of (mostly) Army men and women.
CNN was on the TVs, and things got very quiet when this elected official continued on, railing that the mission that some of these very people were here to do, had “…failed.”
Yet, they would be donning their body armor, strapping on med kits and weapons, mounting HMMVs or MRAPs and heading outside the wire, ensuring that the newborn democracy in Iraq, purchased with so many lives, would be safe another night.
The newly re-invigorated insurgents would be waiting, teeth bared back in a hateful smile, gripping the IED detonator, the RPG launcher, or the AK-47s to ply their trade with new energy, because the Senate Majority Leader had said they were winning.

The Biofuels Scam
American Thinker: The Biofuels Scam
"Since 2007 the price of food around the world has just about doubled. Bad harvests, inflation, or George Bush didn't cause this price increase. According to a secret report from the World Bank, reported in the UK's Guardian, 75% of the increase in price has one source: 'Biofuels.'"

Maybe it's time to introduce King Barry O'Carter and his queen to the political version of a guillotine?
