    After relinquishing control of his super PAC to his pal Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert is officially running for president...of South Carolina.

    Mike McGinn Jobs Program Is at Least Good for a Few Laughs on Jon Stewart Show (Video)

    ​Mayor Mike McGinn's green jobs weatherization program, already something of a laughingstock of underperformance, drew a new round of guffaws and groans from Jon Stewart's The Daily Show this week.

    The Grammys: What Did All Mean, Maaaan?

    via Hipster Runoff​Last night, with breaks only for the Simpsons, dinner, and a quick nip down the pub (the Cha Cha), I watched as much of the Grammys as I felt like. Riveting stuff as always.

    Bill Gates and Jon Stewart Talk Polio, Money, and Whether He Is Indeed Batman

    ​Bill Gates is one of those Jon Stewart guests that probably won't leave you rolling on the floor laughing. He's also not one of the controversial guests that Stewart spars with in epic and riveting clashes of intellect. No, Gates, as Stewart says, is Batman; and when one interviews Batman, it ... More >>

    ​For the past couple days, Republicans in Washington (the other Washington) have been making a lot of noise about how ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is going to get done until the President of the United States rolls over, plays dead and, basically, allows the GOP to do whatever the hell they want--most o ...
