There are and have been some really, really funny people staffing The Daily Show. One of these very funny personalities was Rob Corddry. His angry facial expressions, ridiculous sight gags, with him often taking a swipe at dumbass John Stossel's whiny "Give Me a Break!" reports are funnier than you know what! I mean, come, on!

Charming...isn't it?
Hi fellow bloggers/visitors! I want to tell you about a little jewelry business my wife has been doing on the side for a while. She has been making jewelry for as long as I can remember, but just started two little stores on Etsy.com, where she is selling her own hand-made jewelry.
Lavender Moon's emphasis is on vintage style beaded jewelry, and Lucindas Charms concentrates on vintage style charms and filigree. She just started a blog: http://www.lucindascharms.blogspot.com
She makes some great stuff! She works hard at it! I hope that you stop by her blog and her stores and check our her designs! Thanks!
This is pretty funny-a "mash-up" of the Gibson Palin interview with a famous interchange that occurred at the Miss Teen USA competition in 2007. Enjoy!

I'm Blogging against "information" abuse. I'm also blogging for funny videos
Ok -I was asked by Angelda Vinci http://www.blogcatalog.com/user/AngeldaVinci to post a topic against abuse- which could be any type of abuse- http://www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/you-can-be-a-part-of-blogging-history .
I chose "information abuse"-the abuse by the predominant news media sources such as the major network news corporations and the print media that attempt to skew and slant the news, and misinform those citizens which it professes to serve.
By and large, the Internet and blogging in particular has helped to quell some of the misinformation, bias, and outright lying that has gone on for quite some time now that the Bush administration has fostered that kind of reportage-(see Fox News, Jeff Gannon, Armstrong Williams, etc etc.)
People have turned to each other for diversity in opinion and news that does not have the slant favoring the rich and powerful. There are a couple of institutions that have worked to work for truth in news reporting while examining the subterfuge that our big news corporations and their mouthpieces spew.
FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) http://www.fair.org/index.php is one of those great organizations-operating on a shoestring budget, they do the best they can to examine the news for bias and misinformation. I am proud to say that I have been a subscriber to their little magazine Extra! for over 10 years now. I also try to listen to CounterSpin http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=5 their weekly radio show, whenever I can.
Another great anti bias, pro-truth organization that is online is MediaMatters For America http://mediamatters.org/. I really like this site and try to check out the clips and articles at least once a week.
I am also blogging for funny clips. This guy Jake Byrd is a prankster that has been seen on the news a lot lately. I had featured a clip of him for the Paris Hilton lawyer's press conference a while back c3fun.blogspot.com/2007/06/hey-guys-hope-you-all-had-great-weekend.html but this clip is too much! Here he is at the OJ lawyer's press conference. Nabbed this from TallFreak http://www.tallfreak.com/ (hey Chris- thanks for another great link!)
