Pace on Earth

Gallow's Pole

Last night I got a chance to watch the Daily Show with John Stewart for the first time in a few weeks and it seems that the expected post-(US)election letdown has caused them to look Northward for their news lampooning. They did a funny bit on the Canadian political crisis that included the great line about this being our greatest political challenge since the “controversial decision to re-shape bacon.” But the bit that actually hit home to Stewart was the very idea that an opposition party could vote to overthrow a sitting leader. I'm sure he knows that this isn't always the way it works but it sure did let him pine for the same power South of the border.

Then he got to remind us why Dubya is a shitty, shitty president but a funny, funny fucker:

"Welcome to my hanging"

Pace out.
