Shah Rukh Khan -- US Immigration Hassles -- The Daily Show...

Here is Jon Stewart's take on the Shah Rukh Khan incident. I wrote about this previously here. In that post I alluded to the fact that it might have been a beat up, but Jon Stewart is a much more famous funny man than I ever will be, so here he is with The Daily Show interpretation.

Enjoy!

Is Barack Obama A US Citizen?

Some people just cannot get over the fact that they and their fellow country men and women have elected a black president. This has given birth to something known as the "birther movement". This movement has gained the support of some members of congress who are looking to table a bill, the birther bill, in Congress that would require all candidates for the presidency of the United States of America to provide a birth certificate before being permitted to run.

The whole idea that Barack Obama is not a US citizen is absurd. However, it was one of those things that are great fun to watch. This is in spite of the fact that it is just too bizarre and you cannot help but think that those getting on this band wagon are the proverbial "sandwich short of a picnic basket". It also has the feel of being too bizarre that it just cannot be true, one giant hoax. Even so, it is, as I said, fun to watch.

And, if it is to be funny, then who better than Jon Stewart of The Daily Show on Comedy Central to do it. I am still laughing as I write this post.

Jon Stewart -- "i" on the News

Jon Stewart and the Daily Show may not be every one's cup of tea. However, I read somewhere once that people were getting their news from the Daily Show. I don't know whether that is a good or a bad thing.

I like watching Jon Stewart and the Daily Show. I don't watch to get my news coverage but I do watch it for a good hearty laugh.

Here (for some reason I cannot embed the video - so click on the link to it) is a recent segment that starts with the coverage of Obama's speech to the "Muslim World", and then goes on to critique MSNBC and CNN.

Enjoy!
