10/12/08 07:52Diana and I managed to get tickets to the Daily Show, so yesterday found us waiting in line for two and a half hours. Not necessarily recommended as a tourist experience, because frankly you have better things to do with your two and a half hours if you're just visiting New York. (Actually, we got in line at 2:30 and we left the sound stage at 7:00. You do the math.) But I live here and don't have better things to do, so it was very entertaining. The guest was Mike Huckabee, which was kinda unfortunate, because they spent most of the show arguing about (a) why we wouldn't need government if people would just not suck, and (b) gay marriage. (Data point: parks and libraries and museums do not exist because people suck.) But I do admire the way Jon Stewart can be respectful enough to convince a guy like Mike Huckabee to appear on the show multiple times, while at the same time not mincing words at all where they disagree.
So, yeah: squeeeeee!
