You Two Funny Guys

Not a bad idea  

If you look to on the right side of the TheMNLife, there is a link to the Comedy Central website. I cannot recommend it enough. It is so convenient dialing up segments of the Daily Show to watch at my leisure, often as a nightcap before drifting-off to dream.

An added bonus, Steven Colbert has been given his own Daily Show-ish mock news program. One could argue that Mr. Colbert is as good as Mr. Stewart at twisting news into hilarity. Clips from the Colbert Report are available in the same ala carte format as the Daily Show.

Last night it struck me as odd that the US Army was advertising before the Daily Show clips. John Stewart’s audience leans left, and he often takes jabs at the administration. He points out the inconsistencies and generally makes-fun of the under-lying logic surrounding the Iraq war.

It’s hard to imagine many regular Daily Show viewers being compelled to run out and sign up for the Army. Not really their target audience. Maybe the Army knows something I don’t, or maybe the Army’s resigned itself to recruiting liberal slackers.
