If you didn't catch it I highly recommend watching The Daily Show from last night, Rob Riggle's piece on the "Loyal Bushie" was hysterical. I so badly want to make an icon of the image of Karl Rove's face plastered on a small furry rodent and the text "The Loyal Bushie...it also devours its young." The "Bushward Bound" stuff nearly had me in tears.

Oh and Jon's interview of John Bolton was a thing of sheer beauty, though there was one frustrating moment. Bolton natters on about how the president should only be accountable to those people who put him into office, their policies are the only ones that count. It certainly does explain the administration's "leadership" style, but the question that begged to be asked was, "So what's his responsibility to the other half of the country who didn't vote for him? Do they simply not count because they lost? Does he have no responsibility to at least listen to their points of view?" I couldn't tell if it just didn't occur to Jon or if he sidestepped it on purpose, in either case it was frustrating as hell.

Aside from that I managed to do almost nothing last night between getting home super late from work and the fact that TiVo had grabbed both the XFiles episodes "Field Trip" and "Demons". Like I could possibly not watch both...I'm only human after all. So good! There are two eps I must have that don't seem to be coming up any time soon, "Detour" and "Bad Blood" (arguably the funniest hour of television ever aired), which makes me sad. But on a happy note I think I'm just an iteration or two from finalizing the second disc of my two-disc XFiles mix set. Go me!

Well, I suspect that John meant those people who actually put him in office--the voters having very little to do with that process. It's been fairly obvious he has no interest in what voters think. The people who put him in office are petroglobal and other business concerns, here in the states or in the Cayman Islands or Dubai or wherever, the AIPAC, and others along that line.
