In email: My request is that you actually tell people what G20 is actually about. If you want people to send you over there, it’s only fair. It’s not just a trip to London they’re nominating you for.

Jon Stewart just eviscerated Jim Cramer. Must-watch status, folks. It’ll be up on the Daily Show website tomorrow along with the Comedy Network site for Canadians. Other foreign types, I dunno.

I have decided that I am going to write for the television. After all, if John Rogers can do it, anybody can do it! It is an especially great career for me because you don’t need no special training or knowledge except the power of imagination! And I have plenty of imagination. If you could […]
