What else is new?

This has an interesting take on the matter.
I think Jon Stewart of The Daily Show is a modern day symbol of our generation. Although Stewart is a comedian (and I admit his show is hilarious sometimes), the material that Stewart dishes out is of a type that preys upon the perceived faults of other people. Even if there is no fault, he'll provide some reason to find fault. He presents the viewpoint that everyone has selfish motives. Everyone is an idiot. Everyone is a hypocrite.
So Fever Pitch has the perfect ending?

I share the sentiments with Lexington Native Austin Kearns. I should try and get him on the show sometime, shouldn't I?
A.K. and UK: An interesting subplot in Reds camp has been watching Austin Kearns' reaction as his beloved Kentucky Wildcats advanced through the NCAA Tournament.

The Wildcats' wild ride came to a dramatic end Sunday night with a 94-88 double-overtime loss to Michigan State.

The loss was a bummer for Kearns, a Lexington, Ky., native, but he said he enjoyed the run while it lasted.

"They had their chances," he said of the Wildcats. "It was a good game, though. It was an unbelievable weekend of basketball."

Kearns said he has no idea who will come out on top among the Final Four of Michigan State, North Carolina, Louisville and Illinois.

"I think it's up for grabs," Kearns said. "Anybody can win it. At the beginning, I thought Carolina would win the thing, but they look vulnerable and they might have some trouble with Michigan State. It's a coin flip."
This is hilarious:
*29 have been accused of spousal abuse
*7 have been arrested for fraud
*19 have been accused of writing bad checks
*117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
*3 have done time for assault
*71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
*14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
*8 have been arrested for shoplifting
*21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
*84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is? Give up yet?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
