"How low were the expectations for the G8 meeting? This New York Times headline declares it a breakthrough that the president agreed cutting greenhouse gases in half as something the U.S. will 'seriously consider' by 2050. Of course, by then, we'll all also have to take into account the votes of the Gill People. Obviously, they'll probably go with whoever offers them the most krill." --Jon Stewart
"Oh, and there was one other issue at the G8 [on screen: newscasters talking about the possibility of a new Cold War with Russia]. Bush v. Putin. It's on. Late today, Putin offered a compromise that the U.S. locate its missile shield not in Eastern Europe, but in the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan. A proposal Bush said he would study. And by 'study,' he meant 'find Azerbaijan.'" --Jon Stewart
A magisterial collection.
An emotional roller coaster.
Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s
Last Night On Earth
and Orwell’s 1984.
