The Daily Show

Note to self: Do not watch The Daily Show with your mother-in-law, especially when they're showing Jim Sensenbrenner cutting off witnesses before the committee, then cutting off the committee, taking his gavel, going home, and on the way out ordering the Democrat's mikes be cut off. She'll just get pissed off that her side isn't understood and is getting made fun of. And then she'll say that Dick Durban is an idiot.

Just for the record, I don't think the Nazi's used peeing on religious texts as a method of controlling prisoners. And I don't think that we've done everything that the Stalin-era gulags, or Pol Pot did. But when you hear about the things we have done, you don't think of America. We used to be better than this. We didn't do anything like this, so the contrast between the light and darkness was stronger. Instead, now we're slipping in that direction, turning grey and muddy, all because of a president who doesn't see anything but as black and white.
