"Suck lead, moon!"
When Obama wrapped up the Democratic nomination last June, I remember reading a few articles that predicted the decline of satirical late-night humor once "The Decider" left office. Yet here we are almost a year into Obama's first term and I must say that this might be the best The Daily Show has been during its 10 year run.
Although the show has lost many of its best correspondents from the Bush years, its refocusing on the farce that is the 24-hours news cycle has unearthed boundless reservoirs of humor. In particular, four segments from a couple of weeks ago (CNN Leaves It There, Queer and Loathing in D.C., Super Prize Me, Rape Nuts) had me in stitches (ROFLing, if you will).
Just a friendly reminder for those of you who might have forgotten about The Daily Show in our age of utopian democracy.
