"This
week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was a victim of identity theft.
Someone stole Mayor Bloomberg's identity. By the time police arrested the
thief, he had already passed three ordinances and dedicated a museum."
--Conan O'Brien
"Are
the kids healthy? Because the news from Washington is ... well, uh, you're
going to want to try and keep them that way. This week, everyone who is anyone
in DC was talking about the proposed expansion of the so-called SCHIP health
care program for low-income children. Congress has voted to expand the program
by $35 billion over five years and add 2 to 4 million kids to the program, and
is to be paid for with a 61-cent increase in the cigarette tax. So, in
summation, the bill takes money from cigarettes and gives it to poor, sick
children [on screen: Pres. Bush saying, 'That's why I'm going to veto the
bill']. No health care for poor kids? You know, I thought something like that
is only done by cartoon villains. You're slowly going from Nixon to Mr. Burns."
--Jon Stewart
