IN LIGHTER NEWS, GIANT SNAKES ARE EATING PEOPLE IN FLORIDA

For those people who still haven’t quite got it through their thick heads (I am talking to YOU, Tucker Carlson), Jon Stewart’s job is not to promote one political party or another. His job is to make fun of the media. Which he wouldn’t be able to do if they didn’t do things like make light-hearted puns to intro a story about 30,000 dangerous pythons on the loose in Florida.

Watch and learn.



Looking forward to right-wing pundits accusing Stewart of failing to live up to his responsibilities by mocking carnivorous snake infestations and unfairly blaming Charlie Crist without offering a plausible alternative solution.

BONUS MATERIAL: In the interest or fairness, I should mention that NBC Universal has had their revenge on Stewart – by hiring Space Ghost to go back in time and put Stewart in the hot seat to see how HE likes it.

Take that, Mr Most Trusted Comedian In Journalism!

Crawling king snake,

This is dF

I think they're just pissed that a comedian proves to be better at journalism than the so-called professionals.

This is much like the "Africanized honey bees AKA "killer bees" scare from thr 70's. The bees had a movie, too. After seeing the trailers for this movie as a kid I never went without sandals in the yard in the summer.

I think there were at least two killer bees movies back then. I enjoyed both immensely. But then I was 12. Too bad the python story broke BEFORE SoaP and the Anaconda movies. Nothing sells a movie like fear of reality.
